(Part 2) Best products from r/WeirdLit

Great press. I ended up with a copy of Sean Stewart's Perfect Circle that had some printing/binding errors (the last twenty five or so pages were missing, and instead the penultimate twenty five pages were repeated) -- I contacted Small Beer just to report the problem, not even expecting anything, and they acknowledged that this sometimes happens and sent me a new copy. Even included a hand-written note! I was impressed.

(Also, Sean Stewart. Excellent writer, though his work doesn't quite fit this sub.)

That was published in text form for free by tor.com and is available for $0.99 on kindle.

ETA: Also as a short story there's a good chance it will appear in a future collection, which might be available on paper if you want that. E.g. his most recent full-length collection The Third Bear was.

I found it on ebay for like $40. It looks like it's still about $40 on ebay.

Edit: I haven't seen Horrifying Presence or Private Spectres for less than $100-150. Private Spectres usually sells for upwards of $250.

Edit 2: Here's a link to Dark Gods which I'd recommend too.

Totally fine to ask this question here

You'll want to get this anthology: https://www.amazon.com/Heaven-Everything-Fine-Fiction-Inspired/dp/1621050890

Lots of authors in there that are popular in this sub. Can you link me to the twin peaks thread that pointed you here? I'm curious.

Hi, saillc.

Thanks for reading my collection. I'm so pleased that the stories resonated with you.

The two tales contained in The Lost Aklo Stories ("In The Cave, She Sang" and "Flutes") are only available in print in that limited edited chapbook (and, originally, in the failed anthology The Aklonomicon), which - as you noted - is sold out.

I'm building a new website, which has my complete bibliography. Once the site officially launches, I'll provide the link here.

In the meantime, drop me a line here at reddit, and I'll see what I can do in terms of tracking down some uncollected (and now out of print) stories for you.

A few that are currently in print that weren't included in The Nameless Dark can be found in the following anthologies:

In The Court of the Yellow King, featuring "MonoChrome"
https://www.amazon.com/Court-Yellow-King-Various/dp/4902075695

The Dark Rites of Cthulhu, featuring "The Half-Made Thing"
https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Rites-Cthulhu-Brian-Sammons/dp/0993718000/

Suction Cup Dreams: An Octopus Anthology, featuring "A Late Season Snow"
https://www.amazon.com/Suction-Cup-Dreams-Octopus-Anthology/dp/0985501359

Dark Fusions: Where Monsters Lurk!, featuring "Ignis Fatuus" (co-written with Scott David Aniolowski)
https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Fusions-Where-Monsters-Lurk/dp/1848636741

I hope this helps, and thanks again for the interest.

For gamers:

• Game screens: Nyarlathotep "Sold" but "can build a similar one". Also plenty of Cthulhu screens:
  
• [Roll up dice tray](https://www.elderwoodacademy.com/scroll-roll-up-rolling-tray/
  ), configure your own
  
  For writers, editors, and contract negotiators:
  A nice and relatively inexpensive fountain pen and ink combo I use. Ink/pen combos can be tricky! My redlining is the stuff of legends at work (rumored to be the blood of desperate salespeople!):
  
  
• TWSBI ECO Fountain Pen Clear EF Nib
  
  
• Sheaffer Skrip Bottled Fountain Pen Ink 50ml
  

Pretty sure this has them all. If not, it has at least 1100 pages of them!

Currently working through alpha reader feedback for my novel, about a month in and it feels like there's no end in sight. Hoping to be done by the end of October so I can start the rough draft of my second novel or at least flesh out some short story ideas I have jotted down.

In other writing news, one of my stories was published in Trickster's Treats #3, and I recently sold three flash stories to another Halloween anthology coming out later this month.

Reading wise, I'm finishing Misery here soon (second read through), then starting Inkheart. The summary sounded intriguing, and I know it's a young adult book, but I'm looking forward to reading it.

Loved both Hardy's film and the (much more fully developed and even weirder) book co-written with Anthony Shaffer.

I am currently collecting Thomas Ligotti's fiction, and am reading Teatro Grotesco. Ligotti's implications that reality itself is malignant has been one of the greatest influences on my own work. I am somewhat behind in my reading, and plan to read Tales of Death and Dementia, a graphic adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's tales. Poe's bleak tales of grief and loss have touched upon my own emotions heavily, and continue to impact my life and work tremendously.

I have also been working to complete my novel, The Abyss Laughs. Though it is currently published, I have decided that it requires another narrative surrounding the main work. It tells of the return of the Great Old Ones, Outer Gods, and what lies beyond even them. I have always found writing to be a painful, dull process, but a rewarding one nonetheless.
