Brian Lumley's Freaks
By Brian Lumley
(Preorder -- not yet published)

Dust Jacket and interior Illustrations by Allen Koszowski

Limited: $35
Lettered: $150

This short collection gathers together some of the horror master's strangest stories -- tales of mutants, post-apocalyptic creatures that flee humanity to live in the wastelands and hug the shadows. Three of the stories are from long out of print collections not published in the United States, one first appeared in a small press magazine in the 1980s, and the last is appearing here for the first time.

Brian Lumley's Freaks is available from Subterranean Press in two editions:

Limited: 750 signed numbered hardcover copies
Lettered: 26 signed leatherbound copies housed in a handcrafted traycase

Contents:
</font> Introduction</font> In the Glow Zone</font> Mother Love</font> Problem Child</font> The Ugly Act</font> Somebody Calling</font>

[DaveStrorm]

Silky . . . Thanks for the info! I misread the thread title at first and thought it was a thread about all of us (Brian Lumley Freaks). grin.gif

I love these small press editions.

Oh, if anybody from Tor is reading this (eg. M.S.), I love those too.

[Botch the Mad]

i thought it was about us too. i will be ordering mine on thursday. yay, thursday!!!! i love thursday.

[Lupa the Ancient]

Oh dear ... my new years resolution to spend less on books has just been broken!! Pre-ordered and paid .... will be beans for tea for another month!!! blush.gif

[Mike C]

I just preordered my LETTERED copy... I passed on the Sixteen Sucking Stories which I already know I will regret, but I think I can afford this one.

Thanks Silky, for keeping us in the loop!

[DC 1]

Couldn't resist in the end. I just had to order this one too.

[William Schafer]

Hey all,

Happy to report that FREAKS is at the printer. We should see copies sometime in October, a good month for mutants and things that hug the shadows, I think.

All best,

I know October is my birthday but hey, what a present smile.gif

[Lupa the Ancient]

... mines next week, but am eagerly awaiting this arriving...

[Mike C]

It would be great to get this book in October... I called the publishing company and they said this fall might be a little optimistic.

[Hubris]

Yep......just as soon as I get my finances in order! Although, I'll be ordering the Limited copy. Thanks

[sdkdmd]

I also have got a birthday coming up this october, maybe someone will get it for me. :cool:

Or should I say pay for it because I already ordered it. ;)

[Bungus Blood Beast]

Had Mine on order for a while, but just (Today)ordered 'Coven Of Vampires', Can't wait ! !

[sdkdmd]

A lovely, lovely book I might add....

[sdkdmd]

You will see me there.

Just look for the man with "The House of Cthulhu" hanging around his neck... heh heh heh

[Silver]

I also purchased A Coven of Vampires recently, for £14 from Ebay and will also be bringing it with me for signing.

[William Schafer]

Hey Everyone,

The numbered edition of FREAKS arrived in our offices yesterday, and is now shipping. I hope everyone enjoys it.

Best,

Bill
Subterranean Press

[Exsanguinator]

Mine arrived today - thank you! smile.gif

[Lupa the Ancient]

Emailed Bill about the Lettered edition, and he says the traycases have just been ordered - so a 60 day turnaround is hoped for, fingers crossed.

[DC 1]

I see it didn't take long for one of these to appear on ebay.... :(

[sdkdmd]

I can't wait 60 days. :mad:

I've seen more then one DC, and at a lower cost.

[topol_sheap]

I have to say I waited for Ebay on this, and got it at a bargain basement price ;) well if $30 is a bargain! It certainly is a bargain with the currency exchange right now! ;)

[John & Paul]

I've bought more things than enough recently with the dollar approaching half the value of the pound. I'll have to watch out for freaks myself. smile.gif

[bloody path]

got my copy from Amazon for I think around $20 but if you look there now it is gone blush.gif so i think i got a good buy smile.gif

BUT i can't have to XMAS my mum says so..... :(

[sdkdmd]

ebay is flooded with Freaks, there is always at lease one on there.
the cheapest i've seen 32.00.

[topol_sheap]

yeah that's the problem right now.. lots of traders are buying in bulk, and then selling on EBAY... I've had dealings with a few of them now, and they are great!

I would have gone straight to the publisher for this, but the saving, small though it is, is still a saving.

[Lupa the Ancient]

Much easier to get hold of books these days with the internet ....

Awaiting the lettered edition with bated breath.... grin.gif

[sdkdmd]

same here Lupa.

and i'm still waiting for "Hero", i think you said you got your already. :(

[Lupa the Ancient]

Yes.. I got it early last week - I'd contact them if I was you and check that its been sent. Shane is always helpful when I've contacted him...

[sdkdmd]

got your e-mail Paul, thats what its there for.
Thanks, i will contact shane.

[topol_sheap]

Yeah - Freaks arrived today - was a little worried as the postman force the item through the letter box (it was infact trapped halfway through). But the people I bought this off are even better at packing things than I am, which I was very happy about smile.gif

I'll share my new source with you all soon!

[sdkdmd]

are you out there Lupa?

i think that 60 days is about up for the lettered Freaks and i was just wondering if you or anyone else has heard any thing.
i guess i'll just send an email.

[Silky]

Subterranean was waiting on the slipcases for the lettered. Brian believes they are now in but if you want to know for sure contact Sub to be sure.

[sdkdmd]

Thanks Silky,i sent a email,i guess now we'll just wait and see.

[Mike C]

I am still waiting on my lettered copy of Freaks also... It's probably too late to call tonight but I was wondering if anyone else has heard from Sub. Press?

[sdkdmd]

i got a email a couple of weeks ago,they were still waiting for the slip covers
post if you fine out anything

Oh to be so lucky to get a lettered copy of Freaks. My limited edition copy(only one i could afford at this time) arrived last Saturday safe and sound. Can't wait to read it. Just had conformation from Silky that my order for the Gainley collection has been accepted, and l have just used PayPal to purchase them. The only two that l need to complete it is Clock Of Dreams and In The Moons Of Borea(hopefully l'll have these by the end of next month).
Any idea as to when the limited/lettered edition of Necroscope will be available? As l pre-ordered it last December.

[Lupa the Ancient]

Still awaiting with bated breath!! Might drop another email next week....

[sdkdmd]

still waiting! :mad:

so i just ordered myself a limited edition to hold me over. grin.gif

[Lupa the Ancient]

Afraid I'll just have to wait ... seem to have spent a small fortune recently.

[sdkdmd]

the limited arrived today, that should hold me til the lettered arrives.

at lease im breathing ok now, no more holding my breath.

[sdkdmd]

where is my FREAKS!!!

[sdkdmd]

has anyone heard anything about the status of Freaks.
ive sent a couple of emails , no reply yet.

[sdkdmd]

got a reply.

traycases are to ship to the US on the 12th of may, they "hope" to have them a month later [june] then they will ship out.

[Mike C]

Lettered copy of "Freaks" arrived yesterday!

[sdkdmd]

got mine also - Letter P

[DC 1]

Well, what do you know. Mines here as well.
