For those who are not familiar, each year they offer a grab bag (of science fiction / fantasy / horror titles) with 8-10 books—some signed, some not. This year, that means that their $45 (and up) novels and novellas are coming to you for $10 each. Not bad. Granted, you don't get to choose your titles, but I've found that you get a nice mix.
One note: don't hold out hope for more popular authors, like Neil Gaiman to be among the list, as those titles almost always sell out.
From the Subterranean Press email:
We're back with one of our most popular promotions-the grab bags-which we haven't offered in well over a year.
Each bag will contain a mix of signed limited editions and trade hardcovers. We expect each to contain approximately 8-10 books, with a guaranteed retail value of $350 or greater. Some of the books may be distributor returns, and not perfect, but at the price, we think you'll agree the overall package can't be beat. Most of the titles we're using have never before been offered in a Grab Bag, so you're bound to find a good supply of new reading material.
Our most recent grab bags have been in the $150 range, but this one is being offered for only $99 plus shipping.
One thing is very different about this grab bag.
We've had a special signed limited edition produced especially for it: The Case of the Bleeding Wall by Joe R. Lansdale and Kasey Lansdale. This long new novella, part of the Dana Roberts series of supernatural investigator stories, is limited to only 500 numbered copies signed by both authors. This new Lansdale volume is guaranteed to be a part of your grab bag.
In addition, we're clearing our inventory shelves of many one- and two-of-a-kind items, so there's no telling what sort of rarity you might receive.
Please note that If you purchase more than one grab bag, you're very likely to receive the same or similar contents.
