Collections...

[Nathan]

I got the idea for this while checking out the 'Old Wamphyri Statues Update' thread. Shadoe with his Shaithis bust and diorama tongue.gif set up all neat and tidy in a curio cabinet with his copy of The Source.

So I've decided to start a thread for anyone who'd like to show off what they've got. Now I know that not everyone is a 'Neccie' like me, (Get it? Neccie...Trekkie) but I want to see your collections. Big or small, common
or rare, good condition or bad. It doesn't matter. Books, comics, games, posters, or whatever you have. It's not a contest, just a place to show off and be proud. Five years ago mine consisted of 6 paperbacks and The Last Aerie in hardcover...Whatever you've got, let's see it.

"Anorakishativatoriness" not required... :D (GWB Jr. joke :D)

Here is my first bit to show off...it's the one wall in the house that my wife gives me free reign. She calls it, The Wall of Evil! It has some of my most prized books...and stuff. :D

...that little guy in the middle was formerly known as Man-Bat from the Batman Beyond series...now he's known as Wamus of the Wamphyri! :D

[Nathan]

Here's the rest of my Lumley collection...and some games... :D

[Goth Girl]

Nathan, that is soooooo cool!! and Neccies... love that!!

I´m not taking any piccies of my collection until I´ve decorated that room (!), but I have taken a pic of the Paul S. picture that I have hanging over my fireplace... can´t remember the file name right now, but I´ll post it when I get back home!

[ShadoeWolfe]

ok...my collection is spread out and not really out and about..I need to get a shrine around in the near future. smile.gif

But anyway, here are some of my things...

http://www.brianlumley.com/graphics/lumlians/shelf2.jpg
http://www.brianlumley.com/graphics/lumlians/shelf3.jpg

This doesn't show any of my artwork, posters, comics....well...let's just say this a a tiny touch of what I have... :D

[Nathan]

Cool...you have quite the extensive collection there, Shadoe. I forgot to set out my comics and such too! :( Ah well...maybe I'll rearrange my Wall of Evil someday... :D

Here's the rest of my hardcover collection for you fans of other authors... smile.gif
http://www.brianlumley.com/graphics/lumlians/f83c4cd6.jpg

I'll spare you the paperbacks...just picture a stack of eight big full boxes underneath five very disorganized piles of books in a dirty garage... smile.gif

[Exsanguinator]

I'm impressed by both collections - I just want you both to remember me in your wills! lol

[SpOOkshow]

I'm buying a big safe smile.gif

[DaveStrorm]

If I ever get a decent camera, perhaps I'll try to get a couple of pictures of my Lumley collection! The best I could do was get a close-up of a few books with my video camera and then paste them together. And you still can't really read anything but the titles on them . . . :(

http://members.aol.com/davestrorm/blbooks.jpg

[Lady Marie]

I happened upon this little auto-accessory by accident, and I may be showing you something that you are all privy-to...but WTH. Forgive me, but I didn't know where else to stick-it...so you can tell me where-to-stick-it, if you like...lol. This is just so cute, and I think that they run about $40 and are compatible to other vehicles, besides the illustrated Miata. http://www.auto-expressions.com/yahoo/vampire/hungry.jpg

[Nathan]

Lady Marie--That is too funny! I'm gonna have to find one of those for Mandi's mini-van. :D

Davestrorm--Man, I forgot all about this thread but have been meaning to ask you...what is the green one top left and the red one bottom right? I can't make out the titles. You and SpOOk have some nice things there...I think ya'll do need a safe!

I've got much more than I had at the time of this thread and more coming in. The Wall of Evil has changed quite a bit recently...I'll try to get pictures up soon. smile.gif

[Lady Marie]

considering my collection compared to you lot is PITIFUL, i will not be posting on this page

:D

[Mike C]

Scarlet, whatever happend to I show you mine, you show me yours? tongue.gif

[Nathan]

Anyone else wanna show us your collection? Or a proud piece of it?

Maybe pictures is too much for some... wanna just list what you've got? I'd like to see how SpOOk has sixty-freakin-three! (Not that I doubt you, I just wanna know what I'm missing. smile.gif )

Should I go first? tongue.gif

[Canker]

I'll try to get mine posted soon, Nathan. Need to take a picture of it first. :D

[JB_Lestat]

I've got the same prob - take a pic, get it developed, get a friend to put it on disk, get Shadoe to help me post it... eh... it'll be a while, but I'll list if ya'll are that interested! :D

[topol_sheap]

OK, here's a small list for you, with some of the rarer titles...

Caller of the Black (AH)
The Horror at Oakdeene (AH)
Beneath the Moors (AH)
House of Cthulhu (Wierdbook Press)
Weirdbook 13 (has a lumley short)
Arkham Collector december 1969 (has lumley short)
Coven of Vampires (F&B version)
Last Rite (hard cover version)
Beneath the Moors and Darker Paces (uncorrected proof)

Note all of the above are signed except a couple of them.

I could go on a list more anthologies with short stories, but I would go mad.... and I am only going through the rarer stuff in my mind.

I might p[ost some pics, but someone here at work toook the right rotten piss when I was looking, so I am not posting piccies, well not yet at any rate....

Later,

TOps

ps. my collection must run in at very near 60 or more titles.... and it's growing all the time. Basically in the last 3 years I've bought about 120 books, most of which have been rare titles, not only lumley though!

[DC 1]

I dont have pics yet but mine include:

As Tops above but not weirdbook 13 (yet)

Nameless Places - AH Collection
UK & US Necroscope collection
Uncorrected proof of Last Aerie - Just bought
Both versions of Psychomok/mech/sphere
Loads of Jove/DAW paperbacks
Ghoul Warnings - Spectre Press
Ghor, Kin-Slayer- Just Bought

[topol_sheap]

Hey DC,

Nice collection there, you don;t fancy giving up your Ghoul Warning (spectre Press)?... can I add
New Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos (AH),
Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos (AH),
Namless Places (AH),
Dante's Disciples,
Disciples of Cthulhu (DAW),
New Lovecraft Circle (F&B),
Dark Detectives (F&B),
Shadows over Innsmouth (F&B),
Chtulhu 2000

[Exsanguinator]

I spent a night recently trying to sleep beneath one of these collections... But I couldn't doze off - I could hear them all through the long night whispering from between their covers, calling to me, telling me to do monstrous things - calling on me to get the fire axe, to write REDRUM on the walls... All through the darkness chittering away, stealing what remains of my sanity!

Then I had a cuppa and a fag and everything was ok again! tongue.gif

Well here is a pic of the hardcopy collection. :D http://www.bblache1.homestead.com/files/Collection1.jpg

The paperbacks are in another bookcase. :D

EDIT= Oops!!! Uploaded the wrong pic at first :D tongue.gif

[topol_sheap]

it gets worse... the collection is now directly above the bed.... can get to them better now.!

[Goth Girl]

No photos of mine still... maybe one day. Not as comprehensive as some of yours (still fighting the collecting urge to buy everything in hardback and paperback!) but just as special to me for the comments that Brian has written in some of them!

[JB_Lestat]

Okay, so I finally took pics of my collection... a little behind, I know... all I can say is "oops", and look at my beautiful books!(These are just my Lumley books obviously, I figured they were the only ones you people were interested in!)

All right, which one of you devious Wamphyri responded to this and deleted it?

I got a reply notification but deleted it to come straight here and see who'd graced us.

Debs?

Peter?

Phill?

C'mon, fess up!

[Exsanguinator]

It was I!

I posted a piccie but then my primary host decided it didn't like me serving piccies from their server so it told me off... Will post the pic as soon as that's sorted...

[DC 1]

As this seems to be a current topic at the moment I thought I would bring this to the fore.

some more of my collection

[topol_sheap]

Nate,

I like your wall of Nerd... reminds me of most of the stuff I have here! Got some beauts where LOTR is concerned...

as for BL, well SDKDMD - you have a very big collection - you must have spent years and years getting all this stuff... hell it's taken me years and years to get some of my stuff!

Tops

[Nathan]

[Sorry... you gotta insert smilies fer yerself. Dern thing'll only let me do so much!]

Thanks Tops. See the box on the far left end of the shelf? That's a Lego set of Darth Vader and Luke lookin' about eight years old. And you can't really make out the dude opposite OZZY... it's Nosferatu! Complete with rat base (extra rats) and skin that really melts! My ten-year old nephew got it for me! smile.gif Too bad I can't play with the dang thing.

See the stack of coins near the Weird Tales books? That's a dollar coin collected from most of the big hotels in Vegas when I met the Lumleys...

See Eddie up there under Wamus? Just got him for Xmas. He's a bobble-head!

sdkdmd - that is truly a collection to be proud of! (Or I guess I should say, "of which you should be proud") How long have you been collecting? I'm pea-green, I tell ya! And all in plastic! I shid really do that too, I suppose.

Here're some more I've picked up over the last couple years...

This first one's hardcover, obviously my favorite. I have six more of 'em but these are the only ones I've read:
http://images.snapfish.com/342%3A3%3C2%3B23232%7Ffp64%3Dot%3E2343%3D597%3D363 %3DXROQDF%3E2323763%3C3%3C6%3A6ot1lsi

These are two of five books from the The World of Necroscope role-playing game. The other three are covers you've all seen many times before:

http://images.snapfish.com/342%3A3%3C2%3B23232%7Ffp58%3Dot%3E2343%3D597%3D363 %3DXROQDF%3E2323763%3C45237ot1lsi

I'll spare you (and myself) the entire graphic novel section and just show the big 'un:

Got this a few weeks back from a guy on The Dark Tower.net message boards.
As you might guess it's a Stephen King book, called IT, but with a difference.
Here's the front

[Nathan]

This is some awesome stuff y'all are posting!

I've definately got to get my hands on a copy of that version of IT. I'm a King collector as well as Lumley and am pretty surprised I've never seen that before!

Off to search for my future copy!

:cool:

[sideous]

IT's a one off made by this company
Zachary Malice & Company (http://www.zmalice.com/)
They only ship to the US but I haven't seen another IT on their e-bay page. I think it was done a few years back.
Looks great in the bookcase though and stands out from the rest of the books including the King S/L's i've got.

[DC 1]

I know Tom would love to post pics of his collection but there is not enough room on this server.

Seriously though, keep posting your pics, it's good to see other keen collectors' books

I am probably being odd here, but I don't find the need to have uncorrected proofs of books. I'm happy with the the fully finished ones. but hey I'm strange like that smile.gif

[DC 1]

I must admit to having one or two ARC's.

I did read the Touch but I'm saying nowt here about it's content until after it's been published.

smile.gif

[DC 1]

Oh dear. Just seen the email from sub press.

It seems like they have sent out Screamin Science Fiction and there are some minor problems, like they didn't put in most of the illustrations.

See their web site for more info but basically, they will be sending out corrected versions and you can keep the one they have already sent you.

[ShadoeWolfe]

So that basically means you got a real rare book for free, huh? Lucky buggers! smile.gif Talk about a real collector's edition there!

[DC 1]

Even more so as they have recalled all books from dealers etc and these will be destroyed, along with any not yet sold.

If you do get one, keep a hold of it.

[sideous]

Mine came today #23 with 3 illustrations inside, so hopefully should get another once its reprinted grin.gif
Came with a free copy of Postscripts, a 144 page paperback of short stories.

Regarding the ARC's, I like getting different versions of the same book. The ARC's aren't sold to the public so are a little harder to get and are very limited with their print runs.
Thats also why I couldn't pass up Silkys offer of the Lost Years manuscript. It's one of a kind and as such the prize of my collection. Brian also signed the start of each chapter grin.gif

My, my, but this thread has filled out nicely! Some very nice things you all have secured...

Hey, I think I got this to work. Ok then I guess I can start showing you my collection. This my take me some time.

For starters let me explain my collection. I only have, enough money, time, and sanity to collect books with Mr. Lumley name on it. No contributors or mags. Mabye some day but no time soon.

If it comes in paperback I have it (in one form or another. the Titus Crow books were cut out on the left, oops. All but Headlines Tarra Khash. I'm having a bit of trouble with that one. Most of my old copys were replaced do to over reading. Now that I'm older and wiser, I can read a soft cover with out destroying it.

Give me a few, more pics to come.

Please don't mind the glare, I keep some of my smaller, thinner books in pic frames. I call it Lumley under glass.

Silver, you said you never seen the original Demogorgon. so I thought i'd show you. I love the original's. I'm telling you it's my uncle!

As far as hard covers go and as far as I know, I have them all too. All protected in mylar, hence the glare, all but The Touch because i'm reading it still.

Now why couldn't all my pics turn out this good? Don't mind the I Am Legend on the left. it's just saving a spot for Sorcery in Shad when that comes out to complete that shelf.

[Showoff]

And this is "my home owners insurance just went up" shelf.

Well that's everything, let me know if i'm missing anything and\or how you liked it. It's good to show people in the know my collection.

[Showoff]

ok, all the pics were here when i finished. Where'd they go, Where'd they go?

[Silver]

Showoff you really are showing off there! That is a very nice collection you have, and thanks for the Demogorgon, I'm sure I haven't seen that cover before.

[sdkdmd]

Nice collection you gou got going there Showoff.

I need to up-date mine, it's been awhile.

[sideous]

Gotta agree with Silver and sdkdmd, thats a very nice collection you've got Showoff

[sdkdmd]

Not Brian but still part of my over-all collection (http://mycollectibles.kaboodle.com/sdkdmd/johns-book-collection.html)

[John & Paul]

One of these days I'll get my collection up on here. I'm busy listing them at the moment for insurance purposes (taking longer than I thought) and mine doesn't match Pauls collection. I think i'd have a nervous breakdown trying to photograph them one by one grin.gif

[kenny]

Very nice collection you have there Showoff, but tell me, is your copy of Screaming Science Fiction the one with all of Bob Eggleton's illustrations in it or is it the one with most of them missing?
Don't tell me you have a reading collection and a bookcase collection as, by looking at your paperbacks there isn't even a slight crease on any of their spines that i can see. You lucky sod

My Necroscope series are very creased down the spine but they crease easily because of the thickness of the books.
A lot of my thinner paperbacks don't have creases in them.


A nice collection of books you have there sdkdmd.
Nice seeing the ones from Delirium as well.

[Showoff]

Not a problem Silver. I'm glad you all like them. I really love Mr. Lumleys works. No Kenny, it's the fixed one of Screaming, I'm not that lucky of a sod. I have no other copies except what you see. I got rid of my old worn out ones and replaced them. I do read them quite carefully, only opening them to 70 degrees, as not to crease the spine. I have soft covers for reading but if I do open a hard cover i remove the DJ and wash my hands like a doctor before I ever touch it. my wife finds it silly.

I'm looking forward to the vault set I preordered from lighthouse, and Demogorgon from Delirium coming soon.

And yes sdkdmd, that is a nice collection.

[sdkdmd]

Showoff, I didn't notice your Dreamland books at first. They are some of the finer books on my shelf.

I still need to finish putting my Delirium books together and I like to the same with my Lumley collection

[Showoff]

I'd love to see that. Yeah the DreamLand books are great, that soft leather and that smell mmmmmmmmmm..

[sideous]

Here you go sdkdmd, my Delirium books.
In Delirium
The Pines
Earthworm Gods

Not read any of them yet, they're on a long list of books to read


http://www.sideous.f2s.com/deliriumbooks.jpg

[John & Paul]

Exactly how do you upload pics onto here from your pc? Help !!!

[sideous]

You have to upload them onto some webspace first. Then click the "insert image" button when your typing your reply and paste the url into the space.
If you put your cursor on my pic, right click your mouse and goto properties.
Look down the list and you'll find the address or url of the webspace my pics on.
You can also upload them onto the message board server as attachments but they come up as a link rather than a picture.

[sideous]

Here are the books hiding behind those 3

[John & Paul]

Thanks...maybe I'll leave this for now lol

[John & Paul]

Got my Shaithis Diorama today for my birthday off Paul ...at last I have my grubby little paws on it I've been waiting 9 months since it arrived to stick it on my shelf :)

[sideous]

Happy Birthday John!:D

A 9 month wait, I'd have been hunting round the house:rolleyes:
Not got the diorama, yet, but I've got the bust, waiting patently in its box to be built.

[John & Paul]

Damn I'd love the bust too but so far never seen it on E-Bay ...I keep looking in the hope that one day it will be mine... Paul saw a shaithis diorama on E-Bay 2 weeks running so bought both when he saw them. Unfortunately Customs slapped another £27 postage on each before they'd hand them over so they were quite costly from the USA. I'm now plucking up the courage whether to make it up and paint it or just leave it pristine in it's sealed box :) I've got the Vasagi the suck bust so now I only need the other bust and the Lady Karen figure... you never know miracles do happen!! lol

[Sophie]

damn guys, don't ya have anything better to do than photograph your books and put them on the net...?

I'm just jealous mind...

;)

[sideous]

Got this yesterday with a few other Delirium books. A lettered Demogorgon:D

[matman72]

I was going to post some pix, I'm glad i don't have a webpage now.
Forgot how some of your collections are. before finding this site i didn't know where on earth to find anything more than massmarket PBs.
So far my new treasures include;
The Compleat Crow
Ship Of Dreams
Elysia
Ghoul Warning
Burrowers Beneath
(all 1st eds./signed(except Burrowers)/ganley)
All ten comics(i love art)

Everything else(28 of them) is PB, read many times, creased etc. so I'm looking for HB/1st eds. of everything. I'll show them off one day.

I keep telling myself I've had an excuse:in Oz its so hard to find any decent quality books-or anything for that matter.

Need to start some where Matman

[matman72]

:DGot a few new additions to my new collection:
-ARC of Necroscope(subterranean). Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between these ARCs and the trade editions?
-Beneath The Moors(Arkham)
-Freaks(signed,limited).
and 2 Wierd Tales('89 & sum.'88)
Now I have to upload the pix. somehow.:confused:

[matman72]

I'm happy today.
Just secured copies of Demogorgon and Coven of Vampires(both new Subterraneans.signed).
But the highlight for me is a Shaithis bust off ebay,:cool::D seller listed it as Skaithis, so some of youse looking for it probably missed it.:p

Anyway, by the time I get it I should have a space page up & running(new broadband connection:cool:) so I can upload some pics of my meager collection.

edit:The new Demogorgon is Delirium(as many of you prob. know)

[sideous]

Hey, congrats on the bust matman. Had mine sat in the bookcase for a few years now, I'll get round to painting and sticking it together 1 day:rolleyes:

Wating to see those photos:D

[matman72]

Afew more additions to my new obsession.
Necroscope poster.
The 3 Titus Crow(oversize PB ones)
Psychomech & Psycosphere(also large PB eds.)
Found Caller of the Black from a seller in Australia.

anyone get anything from that auction on ebay, he was selling ganley HCs(all of them i think)
fell asleep & missed Complete Khash I(deluxe).:(
but i got Comlete Khash II(deluxe),
Transition of Titus Crow (deluxe)
Defilers, Deadspawn & Weird Heroes(HCs).

Now the wait.

This is the ARC i found recently. I'll try one or two more-I only copy & pasted it from my blog, didnt think it would work.

[matman72]

I can only seem to do one pic. per post:confused:, sorry sorry, I'll only do a couple

Dont know how I got that to work, anyway, some of my non-necro PBs(well read)
and one of my fave newbies, neat little book ,I love it.

It's a work in progress, when the rest of my new purchases come in I'll put them up.

[sideous]

Nice collection matman. Are all those H/C's in the last pic signed?

Picked this up from the picture framers yesterday. It's the original painting for the cover of a book called Ghoul, written by Brian Keene.
Why am I posting on a Brian Lumley site your asking ?
It's painted by The Ginger Wookie, Dave Kendall:D

http://www.sideous.f2s.com/Ghoul2.jpg

[matman72]

Thanx Sideous.
The only one not signed is Burrowers, he only had a couple left, and they had to be dug out from somewhere.

Shaithis has arrived. :D:grin::cool:
Already painted:confused:. I was looking forward to painting it, I had some paints left over from an old Alien bust I did. Got some nice colours together from the greys, greens, & black. I was almost ready to do it.
Anyway they did a good job on the head, I'd like to redo the cloak. Damn, I'll redo the whole thing, I"m not happy with it, but not straight away. Crappy light & camera and I was in a hurry to show off, so I shoved him on the bookshelf and ....here he is.

Also , just arrived, Titus Crow vols.1,2,3. Psychomech, Psychamok, all in the large TOR PBs. These are all mint, so--thats cool.
Also got the Necroscope poster, just don't have anywhere to put it yet.

[joeann2005]

[matman72]

Thanx.
Had the old PB demogorgon, probably lent it someone:mad:.
The new Delirium one is in the mail with the new Coven Of Vampires.

Don't you hate it when people don't give them back, then you forget who's got em!! That Shaithis bust looks nice painted up

[sdkdmd]

Coming along matman. All in time, it'll all come to you.

[matman72]

I finally own some TOR HCs, Deadspawn, Harry Keogh & Defilers. The photos dont do them justice do they? That's half the reason I hadn't bought any yet but they are really nice books when you see them. Also picked up the deluxe editions of Transition & Sorcery in Shad. I tried to upload pics but it didnt work. Ill wait until I get a couple more in

[kenny]

Ghoul warnings and Other Omens... and Other Omens came today a very nice book

[sdkdmd]

Ghoul warnings and Other Omens... and Other Omens came today a very nice book

Which Edition.

[kenny]

Eh, let me get back to you on that one

[kenny]

W. Paul Ganley/ Necronomicon Press, 1999. Not the rarest but i'm more than happy with it.

[matman72]

I have the same edition, signed. More than happy also.

[matman72]

My collection is coming along. just got these HCs in.
http://brianlumley.com/graphics/lumlians/PHTO0030.jpg

Vamphyri is in mint condition with the plastic over the DJ
http://brianlumley.com/graphics/lumlians/PHTO0024.jpg

The Source- a bit of shelf wear but...who cares, I have it
http://brianlumley.com/graphics/lumlians/PHTO0025.jpg

And Deadspeak is great--Silky got Brian to inscribe it for me.
http://brianlumley.com/graphics/lumlians/PHTO0027.jpg

[topol_sheap]

Matman, the "plastic" covering is also known as brodart. I brodart all my HCs as they reduce shelfware on the jacket and protect it.

[matman72]

Thanx Tops, I was looking for somewhere to get them. I looked inside the cover of Vamphyri and it was by 'Gaylord' but they only sell them by the hundred i think. I will google Brodart and see if I can get me some for the rest of the HCs.
I think they look better protected as well.

[matman72]

I almost forgot about these. They've been sitting in a P.O. in WI, U.S. since end of September. They arrived today.
I also worked out how to post pics. (again)i had forgotten.
Shadoe did the last few for me-thanx again Shadoe.

I use the Gaylord for my books. It can be a little confusing finding what you want to use, but you should use them if your going to invest in your books.
You'll probably have buy a hundred or so but it's worth it.

I use #10 adjustible for books 9 1/8 to 10" high

[matman72]

I joined photobucket, it makes this so much easier. My blurry pic of Necroscope HC is on the previous page,sorry about the crappy pic. again, and thanx Shadoe for help with the pics until I worked it out.

I used the brodart as that's what all the pros that sell to me use, so it can't be that bad ;)

I refuse to wrap my books in gaylord on account of it being a really stupid name.

[matman72]

Haha, it is a bit off-putting.

When I took the cover off to check it out I saw the word Gaylord, I was...W.T.F???

Then again it is just a name....isn't it??

[topol_sheap]

Then again it is just a name....isn't it??


Yep, it's just a name. Simple as that! WHen I saw it, it made me smile... which is probably as it should be. lol

It's not the one off ebay Kenny. Larry Roberts at Bloodletting Press found it for me.
Funny thing is, including the one I got, I Know of 3 that were up for sale at roughly the same time. Haven't seen 1 for over a year before that

Where you get the NEP ticket from? I don't remember that.

And I see you got a BLP bookmark. I missed out on it

[sideous]

I won a Lettered Terminal on ebay a while back John, from the guy that made the case. he was kind enough to put the NEP ticket in and a small cloth flag.
The ticket originally came with the Lettered edition of 'In The Midnight Museum' by Gary Braunbeck. Mines one of only three painted "scream yellow". I think they chose white for the release version.

Didn't you get a BLP bookmark with an order then?

NO. There wasn't anythink I wanted or needed at the time and it also wasn't a good time for me to be buying something I didn't really need. My lost.

and I didn't get in on the NEP novella lettered until Take The Long Way Home
