;D Disabling lurk mode here for a bit, Great news for those of us trying to track down the elusive Looking Glass Library version of WOTW. This version was the first I ever read in back in High School, and those Gorey tripods are still "THE" tripod for me. They're so simplistic, yet so alien and menacing. Amazon has it as being available on May 10th. $12 beats paying $50+ for an original Looking Glass version, that's for sure. Definitely asking around here and seeing if I can get a copy in to my local book store! *turns lurk mode back on* Regards, Dan M. |

I post from time to time, but I'm reading the forums pretty much daily, just don't normally have a chance to post as I'm usually reading 'em during work  |

Yes... Well... I do post occasionally from work, but it's mostly been reading. I keep telling myself I need to post more... maybe once the PP and SS movies get released...
Regards,
Dan M.

I've never been a fan of those little eyes on the saucer, but otherwise I love the basic shape. Very creepy looking.

I'm going to have to see if I can get it at the Chapters store up here. This was the first version I read as well. Love those Gorey Illustrations |

Hi, I'm a newbie here, but I've been visiting this forum for sometime.
I just got mine three or four days ago, and it is supremely awesome. But it is tinier than I thought. Not a problem, just surprised me a bit. But, that is part of it's charm. So much in so small a package. This really is a good edition. A pride and joy to have.
But, a question. For those who read the original edition, was it also this small? Or was it 'sixties style' big?
