I first have to praise John for having the courage to announce a Christmas list rather than the increasingly common, and ludicrously insipid holiday list. And then, I would be remiss if I did not point out his good taste in including works by Howard Andrew Jones and yours truly in his top 10:
- A Guile of Dragons, James Enge ($17.95)
- The Bones of the Old Ones, by Howard Andrew Jones ($25.99)
- American Science Fiction: 9 Classic Novels, edited by Gary K. Wolfe ($70)
- Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection ($149.98)
- Lords of Waterdeep, Wizards of the Coast ($49.99)
- The Weird, edited by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer ($39.99)
- Epic: Legends of Fantasy, edited by John Joseph Adams ($17.95)
- A Throne of Bones, Vox Day ($4.99)
- Three Parts Dead, Max Gladstone ($24.99)
- Books To Die For, edited by John Connolly and Declan Burke ($29.99)
I should note that if you’re looking for something you can wrap, A Throne of Bones is also available in hardcover from Marcher Lord Hinterlands for $34.99. To see the rest of the list, which goes 50 items long, go to The Black Gate Christmas List.
