I notice if you're wanting to buy it from Amazon that there's a £1-99 sourcing fee. I'd recommend the following course of action: go to the Waterstones website and get the book, http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/displayProductDetails.do?sku=6270273 and have it delivered free of charge or to your local store. Also, use this promo page and get a discount when ordering: http://www.myvouchercodes.co.uk/Waterstones--242.html#vouchers | ||

I've had a read now. Interesting. Like the Stonegrave nod of the head to the old lad's Stargrave, Zed. Have you read Robert Holdstock's NIGHTHUNTER SERIES, published in the early 80s under the name Robert Faulcon? From the opening chapters, I'd say it felt to have a similar vibe to those books. (I'd take that as a compliment.) (Weird I should make the wrong link above to a Holdstock novel! Still, maybe that's what got me thinking along those lines anyway . . .) | ||

"Like the Stonegrave nod of the head to the old lad's Stargrave, Zed." Well spotted, sir! :-) Haven't read any Holdstock, Mark; he's on my to-read list, though. And thanks for those links! | ||

Instead of getting a copy mailed to me, I'm trying to figure out how to mail myself THERE so I can pick up a copy... sigh | ||

It would certainly be a surprise package, petal. :-) | ||

Stupidly, I numbered all the sheets when I signed 'em, so I won't get my copies for a while yet. | ||

We've had four weeks of perfect sunshine here in Denmark. Literally two minutes after opening Rain Dogs late last night, it began to pour, I mean heavily, and it hasn't stopped this morning, and the weather forcast this morning said constant rain the next 4 days... Really enjoying it, and a great looking book, and a fine Williams intro indeedy. | ||
| Zed (Gary_mc) Username: Gary_mc Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 213.219.8.243 |
Thanks, mate! feel free to post any comments once you've finished the book... :-) | ||

Told you Zeddy - we touch the book and it rains :>) There you go - just picked it up, it will rain tonight. I'll bet the same is happening with Mark Morris's book. | ||

Gary - when will 'Rain Dogs' be availabe from on-line sellers? Camelot Books, HorrorMall etc. | ||
| Zed (Gary_mc) Username: Gary_mc Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 213.219.8.243 |
Not sure, Lincoln. Maybe drop one of them a line? I think the publisher has already sent copies off to dealers (certainly to HorrorMall). |
