After quite a while resting on my more or less laurels (past listings) it's time to get a move on and put up some more listings. My goal is five books every day from now on. This should be achievable, but not according to my past performance.

These books get listed in three places: on Amazon, Biblio, and Half. Books without ISBNs (older books) generally will not be listed on half. My prices might vary between these three places. Amazon and Half tell me competing prices, so I peg mine on them. Thus, if the lowest price for Deadly Percheron is $98 on Amazon, I might peg mine at $95. If it weren't my only copy maybe I'd be more reasonable. In fact, I think my Biblio listing is more reasonable.

Going forward (and possibly backward), links to titles of books will send you to the main Amazon listing. My listing will be somewhere amidst the other maybe 237 listings. This is where my photo of the book can be seen, which will probably be a better one than the one Amazon features. Half doesn't let me attach my own photo—at least I don't think it does. Photos are also at biblio. Lots of older listings still don't have photos. Nor updated prices.

I've been lousy at selling direct via email. Sorry about that, if you've tried me. Listing through the major portals keeps me honest—also prompt and reliable.

---Word from Centipede:
Dear Mr Drumm:

Another batch of Frankenstein books are being finished at the bindery. I
have some cloth copies and a couple leather copies. Did you need any
copies for your store? Let me know if you do. It would be good to hear
from you tomorrow as they can be drop-shipped from Minneapolis on
Thursday or Friday, getting to you that much quicker!

Also, a new batch of Algernon Blackwood, the first volume in the Masters
of the Weird Tale series, is at the bindery now!

Best Regards,

DREAD IN THE BEAST
By Charlee Jacob
BRAM STOKER AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL OF 2005
DREAD IN THE BEAST used to be a novella about the goddess of waste and the king of wasters. Now it is a novel, stuffed full of the gruesome and horrible. Taken from the mythologies and histories of humankind, it follows the trail of the Mother Spririt of the worst that the world is capable of producing. From the catacombs of ancient Rome where a blasphemous sect twisted the message of the early Christians--to modern America with its obsession with violence, deities and saints and the reincarnations of beasts battle over sublime and profane, where the very reasons for existence for us all may lie in the unthinkable.

Edward Lee (author of CITY INFERNAL, MONSTROSITY, INCUBI, and SUCCUBI) says in his introduction to this new novel-length version, "What's most unique of all here (and jealously fascinating) are the creative guts of the author. If there's an ultimate dichotomy in the horror genre, it's got to be Jacob...armed with a talent to write the most beautiful prose yet using that talent to examine the most unspeakable and detestable horror. ...It's one of my all time favorite novels in the field."

ROOM 415
By Edward Lee
AN ACCIDENTAL VOYEUR...

Jack Flood has a problem that he’s long-since given up trying to solve. He’s a success in business but a failure as a man. He doesn’t even care anymore...until he sees the open window in the hotel room below.

The open window...and the woman...

The door looks unassuming -- Room 415 -- but Flood knows what horrors rage behind it. Soon the sweat of his desire will be besmirched with butcher’s blood, and the moans of passion will grind down to throat-ripping screams.

Flood is about to walk hand in hand with the woman of his dreams, into the wide-open jaws of the lewdest nightmare, where love, longing, and desire collide with the unspeakable -- all in the middle of a night that bids the question:

JUST HOW SICK CAN YOU BE?

Knock on the door, and turn the knob, and step across the threshold of...

ROOM 415
