Posted July 24, 200718 yr comment_35981 Long story short: I was lucky enough to find "Iced on Aran" in a used bookstore...only to realize later that it's the 4th in a series I don't have. Still, I already kinda know David Hero from "Necroscope and Other Weird Heroes!" Question: Is it a book I could read on its own or will I be totally lost?
July 24, 200718 yr comment_35989 Iced on Aran contains four interconnected short stories. I would say that they can be read without reading the other three novels (Ship, Hero, and Mad Moon of Dreams.) If you can possibly get your hands on those other books though, they are brilliant.
July 28, 200718 yr comment_36026 Not sure how much you want to spend to get the books, but Paul Ganley, Brian's publisher from the early years has them available in hardback and trade paper, if I'm not mistaken from his ebay store. You can also get them (the Ganley edition) right through the site here from Amazon (they stock Paul's books). Just go to the Ganley section under books and scroll to the bottom of the page. I can tell you from personal experience, these editions are put together nicely and are a great addition to your collection - not to mention the great stories inside the book! Here's a direct link: http://www.brianlumley.com/books/early.html Good luck!
July 29, 200718 yr comment_36028 I'm in 100% agreement with Shadoe - they are fantastic editions of the books - I want more, but as I have them all now, it's not the end of the world. get them - Ganley is a great bloke!
July 30, 200718 yr comment_36032 I agree too. I have ordered some books from him last week, can't wait. He has some good prices too, pleasure to deal with.
