Search Results: Horror from Lame Excuse Books

First edition trade paperback (simultaneous with the hardback states), one of 1000 copies, a Fine copy, new and unread. A very solid short
story collection. This PS Publishing edition is the true first and precedes all other editions. At the 2011 World Horror Convention in Austin, Peter Straub and I talked about how we're both fans of the story "Pop Art." This copy has been signed (with a simple drawing) by Hill at that convention. Recommended.
