More Robert McCammon price drops at Amazon.
Baal is $2.99: McCammon's self described 'angry young man' novel about the rise of the anti-Christ. Bethany's Sin is $2.99: A family moves to the idyllic town of Bethany's Sin. But there are things going on in Bethany’s Sin that no one wants to talk about: unexplained disappearances, houses that stand strangely vacant, half glimpsed figures that appear to be female, the impossible sound of hoof beats in the night. The Night Boat is $2.99: I very much enjoyed this book about a washed up wreck of a Nazi submarine that contains a nasty surprise. It's not a classic, but it is a fun read. Interestingly, these three books were out of print for a long time. McCammon was embarrassed because they were not only his first three books published, they were the first three books he ever wrote. He felt they didn't hold up. I think he was too hard on himself. Lastly, McCammon's newest book, The Border is $2.99: An apocalyptic tale about two alien civilizations battling on Earth and wrecking the place in the process. I haven't read this one yet. |

Another early McCammon book, They Thirst is $2.99 at Amazon. I had a hard time finding this in paperback years ago as it was another book McCammon pulled from print and was quite collectible.
They Thirst is a tale of a large scale assault of vampires on Los Angeles. |

For McCammon, I've only read Baal, The Night Boat and Swan Song. My better half read Bethany's Sin and didn't care for it and Stinger, which I was told was fun. |

Yes, I believe I have all of Douglas Clegg's work, as well. I discovered him back when his very first book was published - as a paperback original, I believe. I'll make a list of them later tonight and post it. |

That's okay. McCammon can have my money. All the paperbacks I have are second hand, so those I listed here are the first time he got money from me (well, the Open Road books I listed up-thread are, but you get my point). |

I have close to 30 ebooks by Douglas Clegg. He's one of my favorite authors, someone I was buying when I first got into ebook readers. I'm also a member at his website, so there are often a number of specials going on, along with pre-orders. Last edited by Dr. Drib; 11-29-2017 at 07:23 PM. |

I thought "Baal," "Bethaney's Sin," and "Night Boat" were rather weak; whereas, "They Thirst" and "Usher's Passing" were TOP-NOTCH, INCREDIBLE.
"Boy's Life" is a classic in ANY genre. "Mine" was just so-so. I haven't yet read his newer novels, but I will, since he's such a fine, serious writer of Horror. I used to have his British First Editions in Hardcover, but sold them about 20 years ago. I wish I hadn't done so. I got quite a few freebies over a year ago when Open Road was GIVING EBOOKS AWAY! |

A Christmas Tale by Austin Crawley is going for .99
US https://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Tal.../dp/B019CZURVU UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/Christmas-T.../dp/B019CZURVU "Few Christmas stories hold as much fascination as the story, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Inspired by the Dickens tale, A Christmas Carol, three young women decide to hold a séance to raise the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future. They don't expect a result, but what they call out of the aethyr gives them a creepy holiday they will never forget, if they live to tell the tale!" |
