Especially a Soker...<br />I remember really struggling to finish it. <br />The sequel? Never bothered even peeking at it. Nor any of her follow ups.<br /><br />Jimbluerosekillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230426745089645403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825351661748594023.post-72148530166448230232012-07-19T05:14:04.252-07:002012-07-19T05:14:04.252-07:00Jim, I must agree - since I've been writing th...Jim, I must agree - since I've been writing this blog I've begun reading several promising-looking Tor paperbacks, only to have them fizzle out barely a third of the way in.

Maybe even more miss now that I think of it. <br />Their steady output was definitely appreciated, but IMO for every decent, readable book that they published, they put out two, maybe even three stinkers. But hey, they were prolific, so that meant that they still put out a good amount of cool stuff like the aforementioned Richard Laymon, Bloch, John Farris, TMbluerosekillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230426745089645403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825351661748594023.post-43602119125180294482012-07-18T13:47:57.454-07:002012-07-18T13:47:57.454-07:00Do you think thry had to pay Straub and Grant for ...Do you think thry had to pay Straub and Grant for the blurbs?<br /><br />DougDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10899692178606630762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825351661748594023.post-30139495709992208252012-07-17T19:05:53.336-07:002012-07-17T19:05:53.336-07:00Great!Great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825351661748594023.post-71580826827091564892012-07-17T18:03:31.827-07:002012-07-17T18:03:31.827-07:00Wow, these are fantastic.

And I don't know what it is about that Stickman cover, but I really want to grab a copy of that. Time to go shopping again it looks like.
