Bwahahahaha!
On ebay right now you can buy a copy of Scenting the Dark and other Stories for a mere $102.57.
One hundred and two dollars and fifty-seven cents!
Or… you could buy a brand new copy from the publisher for $25.
I just– what possible rationale is there for the ebay price? I mean. I’m just baffled.
So to celebrate my confusion and amusement, for the next month I’m going to offer you a special deal.
If you buy a copy of Scenting the Dark and Other Stories from Subterranean Press, I will send you a wee chapbook of my Hugo nominated story “Evil Robot Monkey.” Signed and illustrated by the author.
Between now and June 11 send me a copy of your receipt from Subterranean, and your mailing address, and I’ll pop the chapbook in the mail to you.
Edited to add: In the comments below, Julia has come up with a fun twist. If you already have a copy of the collection, post a photo and send me your address. I’ll send you the chapbook.
Hmmm…just tried and got an Internal Server Error. You didn’t go and crash their lovely site, did you?
It might be temporary. It worked when I just clicked.
And seriously? You don’t have a copy already? That is a serious oversight on my part.
I’m still trying to score a review copy of Shades of Milk & Honey. I tried another avenue today…
And thus you see why I wanted your mailing address. You were on my list but I didn’t know where to ship it.
Is this only for copies bought in the next month, or could I send you my receipt from ordering it last year? 🙂
Cool offer! Thanks!
Julia has come up with a fun twist. If you already have a copy of the collection, post a photo and send me your address. I’ll send you the chapbook.
Great. Now people can use “I don’t have enough money” as an excuse for not reading.
I second Erik. I preordered my signed copy. I don’t think I have the receipt anymore but I can certainly take a photo of me and the inside of the book (since I already have one of me geeking out with it closed) to prove I bought it…
Sure! Tell you what. If you already have a copy of the collection, post a photo and send me your address. I’ll send you the chapbook.

Copy #50. As it was January, I was a mite cold. 🙂 Like I said, I CAN take a pic of the inside if needed. How do I get my address to you, email or something?
Click on the link up above that says “Send me a message” and it’ll pop open an email address just fo this.
Great photo!
I just got the Internal Server error too. I am bummed. The error happened after I submitted my credit card information. Gee, I hope someone out there in the ethers hasn’t taken over this site for illicit purposes.
But now I have an email from SP thanking me for my order. A curious system to be sure.
Yeah…I got the email after my error too. Weirdness. But yay!

(hope this photo works)
Copy #24. This is a few days later than I was intending, as I was busy graduating college. I’m wearing Magna cum Laude cords for proof. 🙂
Congratulations on graduating with honors!
I was a bit late to the party – this is copy #337. Can’t wait for Shades of Milk and Honey!

Cool! I’ll drop the wee chapbook in the mail as soon as I get back from Wiscon.
