I'd have to agree with reviewer Brian Shaner's take on Michael Shea's recent collection, Copping Squid & Other Mythos Tales. Half of the eight tales were very good and the other half just so-so. I think Dagoniad, The Pool and Tsathoggua were very well written, with Fat Face, my favorite of all of Shea's work, being fantastic! One minor problem with reading several tales of this type straight through--the sameness of them all comes forth, lessening their impact! My suggestion would be...
I've never met any online booksellers as friendly, outgoing and supportive as Larry and Shane. I've ordered a bunch of books from them and, on the rare occasion that a problem occurs, they quickly rectify the situation, never once questioning my veracity about the situation. They truly want to please their customers. They'll have my business as long as I'm around and as long as they're around (which I hope is a LONG time!). What a fantastic team!

Horror Mall is about as professional as you can get. There's no waiting game with their communication emails to you. I had questions about Delirium's book club that were answered super fast, and even one email response sent to me on a Sunday night, if you can believe that.
My package arrived on time and packed with enough care to insure that my books didn't get slammed to all hell.
Definitely a place I'll do business with again-without hesitation.
Thanks guys!
