Notice how its the only copy? All the others on that table have small stacks. It’s like someone got it off the shelves deeper into the shop and then their nerve failed them.

Not the OP but I have read the book. It’s very unique and the story is told in some pretty strange ways. Parts are written backwards, in code, in the margin of the pages, etc. I think it’s a great experience and I’m glad to see it on that table. I’ve never read anything else like it.

OMG!!! I was friends with a girl (smalls) in the early 2000’s at tech school for the Air Force and every once in a while throughout the years when I’ve thought about her I’ve always wondered what this book was and tried to figure out a way to google it so I could get a copy. You have solved a twenty+ year life mystery for me, thank you so much!

If you enjoyed the book, check out the album Haunted by Poe. Anyone with a functioning radio in the 90s may have heard Angry Johnny a time or ten but she’s got some other good tracks too. Poe is the stage name of Anne Danielewski and, if the last name is familiar, that’s because she’s the House of Leaves author’s sister.

Am I the only one to have the sudden urge to put at least one Stephen King book in the display?

The Terror is marvelous. If you’re thinking of buying Paul Tremblay’s short story collection, don’t. It’s dire from start to finish, full of half-thought stories and stories that seem to have no point.

+1 for The Terror. That and Carrion Comfort are my two favourite Dan Simmons novels.

Ugh, so many short story collections are like that. It’s such a nice surprise when can find a good author of short stories because I like them more than novels.
