Monday afternoon, I woke up to find my copy of Coming & Crying at my doorstep. This, as you all know, is the book hunter equivalent to finding a baby in a basket. The book was edited by Melissa Gira Grant and Meaghan O'Connell and I only learned of it after the KickStarter for it had ended. If you're like me, you can purchase a copy here.
Also, in the mail, my copy of Vladimir Nabokov's The Original of Laura
arrived. If you recall, I mentioned the book last year when it was announced that Playboy
was going to release an excerpt in their December issue.

First stop led us to Georgia's Thrift Shop where I picked up a copy of Brian Keene's Urban Gothic
. Afterward, we wound up at Books -n- Things where I picked up a copy of The Stand
- the unabridged copy, as I already have the original published piece - and William Gibson's Neuromancer

- only a $1.50! - and No Country for Old Men
by Cormac McCarthy.
