Library Addition: Signed, Limited Edition of Joe R Lansdale’s The Drive-In: Multiplex

Monday, April 22nd, 2024

Another Lansdale limited edition came in:

(Lansdale, Joe R.) Christopher Golden and Brian Keene, editors. Joe R Lansdale’s The Drive-In: Multiplex Thunderstorm Books, 2024. First hardback edition, #230 of 350 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Preceded by the Pandi Press trade paperback original. Original anthology set in Lansdale’s Drive-In universe, including stories by Joe & Kasey Lansdale, Josh Malerman, David J. Schow, Nancy Collins, Gary Braunbeck, Owen King, etc. Bought from the publisher at the usual discount.

This is now sold out from the publisher, but I will have copies of this available in the next Lame Excuse Books catalog, and I still have copies of Joe and Kasey Lansdale’s Dark Kin from the same publisher, which is also sold out, still available at cover price.
