Congrats Shannon, et al!

Hey George, instead of reading pdf's on my laptop, I've used my android.
Vincent Chong IN MINT CONDITION 2013
http://vincentchongart.wordpress.com/
It would be so cool if we could send Stephen King a copy of one of the books. That would be awesome.
Sending him a copy isn't difficult at all, it's getting him to know it exists that is the hard part, lol
I'd think the $1000 contribution toward his pet charity would warrant some sort of acknowledgement, no?
I think it the acknowledgment was in his permission for us to do the Ambannon Books Stephen King Collection ... but we all know how that turned out.
He probably gets dozens of books sent to him every month.Quote:

It is a phrase that has become very familiar to collectors. Whether you are a collector of fine books, antique watches, baseball cards, or comic books, you are always looking for your treasures in mint condition. To be in mint condition, that special something must be of the highest quality. The best of the best.
Taking that idea and running with it, Ambannon Books has collected the very best in brand new, never-before-seen short stories, creative nonfiction, poems, and artwork. The book is an amazing anthology spanning all genres and themes. The sixteen short stories and poems were written exclusively by members of the largest Stephen King fan site on the internet, TheDarkTower.org, but please let it be known that the Stephen King connection stops there. This is not fan fiction, or a tribute to his work. Each entry in the anthology will include its own specific artwork, as my staff and I have sought out the best and most talented artists currently working in the business.
Join us on a journey through sixteen stories and poems of unspeakable horrors, inspirational bravery, alternate realities, and the dark side of things that seem so familiar, yet are simply waiting to consume you.
Purchase Book
My Thoughts:
When I received the book, I was intrigued by the cover as well as all of the artwork included. The book includes a collection of poems, short stories and nonfiction from talented authors that I really enjoyed. All of the material in the book was well written, fascinating, and included material that was horrifying, as well as inspirational. My favorite was "The Receptionist" by Bob Ireland because it was so creepy,and the ending was unexpected. So if you like short stories and poems this is the book for you. But I have to warn you that one of the stories included some profanity and the storyline was extremely dark and evil.
Disclaimer: I was given a free copy of the book for my honest review and I was not compensated for my review
They always seem to throw in the back-of-the-book blurb and then completely butcher the format, lol.
I think this one was posted here already, because I remember people discussing which one was the "extremely dark and evil" story.
As soon as I can update the damn website I will be including excerpts of all the positive things people have had to say about the book, including some stuff from here. :)
Yep, I'd read this review already.Quote:

Hannah - Tried to PM you but your box is full!
Ugh! I hate it. When I used to run the site with Matt et al I gave myself a shit ton of Pms. no limit. Now, I have a limit. Sadness.Quote:

Edit: nevermind, it took me five minutes. I just deleted all the delightful PMs I had in my sent box. No mercy. Didn't even reread them for a stroll down memory lane. I now have room in my box. For PMs.
Fresh one coming your way!
Taken out of context:
Hannah: "I now have room in my box. For PMs."
Like most reviews, there is good and bad in, Horror World's review, and if readers are prepared to overlook some of the misfiring, there is enough good to make, Horror World's review an enjoyable read.Quote:

We have an office perv that we deliberately make double entendres around because he gets pervy but then his cute bald head blushes bright red. Us girls like to see him blush. I think I was still in "make randy blush" mode when I posted that.Quote:

Sorry, I didn't realize "the Grays" only had 500 PM's. Not that it matters much, because whatever the limit, people max out. BTAIM, I changed the limit for Grays to 1,500.
Hey! My story got a shout-out! One of the named "highlights" of the anthology. I'm sortof pumped about that.
