Product Description

Imogene is young and beautiful. She kisses like a movie star and knows everything about every film ever made. She's also dead and waiting in the Rosebud Theater for Alec Sheldon one afternoon in 1945. . . .

Arthur Roth is a lonely kid with big ideas and a gift for attracting abuse. It isn't easy to make friends when you're the only inflatable boy in town. . . .

Francis is unhappy. Francis was human once, but that was then. Now he's an eight-foot-tall locust and everyone in Calliphora will tremble when they hear him sing. . . .

John Finney is locked in a basement that's stained with the blood of half a dozen other murdered children. In the cellar with him is an antique telephone, long since disconnected, but which rings at night with calls from the dead. . . .

These are AWESOME stories.

Just an update....there is a .99 version out there at B&N.....but it's NOT THE FULL VERSION.

So far Amazon is the only one that has the full book for .99, in case there was any confusion of people going to see if B&N had it for .99 also.

It was 99 cents last April as well (which is apparently when I bought it).

If only I had been patient. I bought this at full price (whatever that was) just after Christmas. Oh well.

I agree! Was surprised to see them discount it so much.

I "read" this collection on audiobook - definitely worth it.

jkeene · 01-25-2011, 07:09 AM

Just picked it up last night, read the intro and the first story. Easily worth full price, just didn't know until now. Thanks for the link!

Thanks!

Thanks for this!

Sale over, price is back to $9.99!

Edit: Appears to still be $0.99 for Canadians!

Got it - thanks!

If you've bought this eBook and didn't bother to click the ACKNOWLEDGMENTS section, do that.. there's a bonus something there.

Thanks again for the tip, 9.99 now, which I just can't afford presently.
