And by final I mean "the last attempt to move books of 2007"; I figure in a few weeks I'll toss the three-foot stack out the door and call it good. Again, all fiction, novels, and paperbacks unless otherwise specified.

The Wyrm, by Stephen Laws. Why it's a bad idea to dig up three-hundred-year old gallows in the crossroads of a village in the name of urban renewal, and what might be underneath them.
Mr. X, by Peter Straub. About a man who, when his mother is dying, begins to dig in to his family's history. Quiet surreal horror ensues, being that it's Peter Straub. (The author, not the man.) Library discard.
The Medusa and the Shield, edited by David G. Hartwell. A collection of horror stories where human psychology is essential to the story. The second section of the three-part anthology The Dark Descent, published standalone. Paperback-sized hardcover, library discard.
Midnight Graffitti. Short story horror anthology, with King, Ellison, Gaiman, Schow, Lansdale, Collins, Ellison, Simmons... One of those I'm getting rid of only because I already have another copy.
Dark Seductions, edited by Alice Alfonsi and John Scognamiglio. Yet another sex-and-horror anthology.
Journeys to the Twilight Zone, edited by Carol Serling. Sixteen short stories, some of weird events, some of weird settings.
Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Stories to be Read with the Door Locked. Hardcover suspense anthology. I think Toby got to this one--the bottom right corner of the front cover is badly chewed at, and the dustjacket is ripped, so it's going free; I'd just like it to go to someone who won't toss it. Library discard.
Cold Blood V, edited by Peter Sellers and John North. Anthology of mystery and suspense by Canadian writers. Skinny trade paperback, library stickers and stamps.
The Best of Cold Blood V, a ten-year anniversary collection from the above-mentioned anthology series. Another skinny trade paperback from the library discards.

Again, all in decent shape except the Alfred Hitchcock, which still has all the pages and just doesn't look pretty anymore.

You can haz.

Let me check around and see if anyone I know is going up to Montreal...

If not, I'm more than willing to pay for shipping.

Fair enough. Still, I do know someone in Montreal who'll be down this weekend; I'm just checking to see if I know them well enough to ask for this favour. :) What part (parts) of town are you generally in?

I'm assuming they'll be downtown, in which case you're most likely to find me at the Redpath Museum (on the McGill campus) or at Indigo (on St. Catherine's).

[livejournal.com profile] sivi_volk will be down in Ottawa this weekend, and has very kindly agreed to pick up the books and go downtown with them. Can you get in touch with him over at his LJ (and reply when you see this, so I know you got it)?

Got it! I'll get in contact with him now :)
