The excavation of the bookshelf continues. As before, the desire for laundry change is a significant motivator--individuals who cleverly pay in dimes or nickels will get looked at all funny. As before, they're all fiction, novels, and paperbacks unless otherwise specified--e-mail me if you're interested.

The Death of the Necromancer, Martha Wells. Gas-lights, jewel thieves, vengeful plots, and necromancy. That one's going for $0.75.
Bereavement, Richard Lortz. “Mother who lost son seeks son who has lost mother.” Supernatural melodrama/thriller, I guess. One of White Wolf's Borealis books, if it helps describe the tone.
Singer from the Sea, Sheri S. Tepper.
Murder and Obsession. Short story anthology.
Gil's All Fright Diner, A. Lee Martinez. Horror/humour about the end of the world. And a diner. $0.75.
Danse Macabre, Stephen King. Non-fiction book on horror. Going free; I just picked up a replacement copy.
More Phobias. Anthology.
Science Fiction: The Best of 2001. Again, anthology. (Spot which section I was clearing?)
The Dark Descent. Trade paperback anthology, trying to showcase what horror is and has become (over a thousand pages, so at least has the room to do a decent job). Great book, I just have two copies. $0.75.
The Invisible Man, H.G. Wells. Again, two copies.
The Moth Diaries, Rachel Klein. Trade paperback. Kind of dreamily written story about a vampire in a girls' boarding school (maybe).
The Chameleon Corps & Other Shape Changers, Ron Goulart. Short story collection of sci-fi.
Fantasy: The Best of 2002. Anthology.
Looking Glass, A. J. Matthews. Family's new house haunted by a ghost that the mother sees in reflections. Oddly fond of this one, but really must clear space. $0.75.
Alfred Hitchcock: The Best of Mystery. Hardcover anthology of short stories from the Mystery Magazine. $0.75.

Again, all in decent shape--Dark Descent is a little scuffed, and the spine on Danse Macabre is cracked white on the outside but solid (although the book will open at pages 162-163 if you give it a chance).

Woman, you're giving up Gil's All-Fright Diner? Are you starving? Need money for chemo? What desperate circumstances could possibly force you to part with such a wonderous and giggle-full romp of a novel?

Not being able to walk from one end of my room to another without stepping around piles of stuff (mostly books, some paper).

I mean it. I *need* to excavate.

I would be willing to home The Invisible Man, H.G. Wells.

Set aside. (E-mail next time? :) )
