Clearly having very little willpower tonight. Another Eric Brown I lacked. The first four Telemass novellas from PS Publishing in one volume
I may have also ordered more Evercade retro cartridges *shrugs*

The second book (the one above) is in print from newcon, but the rest are long out of print from ps publishing in physical (and rare).
I have a 2007 pre-pub proof copy of Summer and the rest as a series on audible. I’ll likely never get the other three individually

Inspired by @scifiscavenger.bsky.social haul and despite not having opened the two box loads that arrived for myself yesterday, I ordered one of the few Eric Brown titles I lacked
Sequel to Starship Summer - one of my favourite books

Case 4 of City of Rains #TTRPG saw the 3 investigators (and their monkey) solve the strange murder of prominent actor John Chinnery who was killed by a rabid lion on set
The trail led to a pharmaceutical company, military research, a gentleman’s club and a jilted lover

I have 13 more hardbacks coming next week thanks to a sale and some new publications. Whilst I do like a nice dinky hardback, a lack of display space means I may need to put a shelf up, since this one is full!

After Frankenstein, I'm striking a more light hearted tone with tonight's film; The Comedy of Terrors.
Sure it's got Vincent Price, Boris Karloff and Peter Lorrre, but when one of the leading credits goes to a cat, you know you're in a for a good time

Tonight’s film is del Toro’s Frankenstein. Not a huge fan of his films, but we will see if I can get through 2.5 hrs of this
Also dug out a Peter Ackroyd adaptation in my clear-out. No idea if any good. Hopefully better than the Brian Aldiss rubbish I read last year

Nothing to see here. Just my warrior on a bee mount, fighting underwater in a big group event against a Leviathan

Since Conan isn’t going anywhere (literally, he’s spent a lot of time sitting down..), I’m switching to a dystopian/sci fi thriller set in 2025
The Running Man by Richard Bachman (Stephen King)
Not really a fan of most of King’s works, but going in open minded

Physically no due to size differences, but I do have at least 6-7 other books with giant ants (or ant horror). Plus several short stories about intelligent ants, including: Empire of the Ants by H G Wells (1905) and Captivity of the Professor by Lincoln Green (1901)

A big thank you to @northodoxpress.bsky.social for The Year of the Rat by K J Taylor
They’ve had some amazing books published this year and this is a “mysterious and trippy dystopia novel” to add to their SFF range
