Since I prefer the epub format, and have since read good reviews of that particular version of the collection, I bought
Pleasing Terror directly from the publisher the day before yesterday. Despite receiving automatic replies from both Ash-Tree Press and Paypal confirming that my transaction was completed successfully, I haven't yet received a link to a downloadable copy of the book or the book as an attached file.
I've emailed the publisher and also left a voice message, but neither has been answered. It was only after rereading the purchase page that I learned "eBook files are delivered to you by email as soon as possible following receipt of payment advice from Paypal."
Even so, in lieu of any status update whatsoever, I did wonder briefly whether I'd reached URL equivalent of a forsaken retail grave. I can see Thomas Ligotti writing a piece about the systematic deterioration of its abandoned DHTML ("SEPTEMBER 2010: END OF SUMMER BARGAINS!").
