It sounds interesting. I already have it on pre-order from Overstock.com. They have a dollar shipping deal right now. It came to a total of $13.56. Amazon is charging $18.95.

Not really sure what that means. I assumed it was a soft cover.

It is from a comic book company (Moonstone), but my understanding is that it will be a collection of short short stories with only an occasional illustration.

Might have to pick this up myself.

My book finally came in last week.

It is softcover, but kind of large (6 x 9). It does have an occasional illustration, but certainly is not a comic book, although the publisher is a comic book company. It is 329 pages and contains a 2 page introduction from Frank Spotnitz. It is a collection of 26 short stories. I read the first one at lunch today. It was OK, but not great. The writing was akward at times and I had to reread several of the paragraphs. The story was intersting, but resolved itself way too quickly and left too many questions unanswered for my taste. I don't want to come across as a harsh critic, it is much better than anything I could ever write, but it didn't make me want to dive right into the next story. Of course each story has a different author, so I will be giving it at least a few more chances. This may be a book for only the most fevered Kolchak fans.

Has anyone else read any of this yet?
