Yes, We've found a whole mess of used copies of the original 1988 Critic's Choice mass market paperback edition at: half.com at Ebay!

Special edition reprint of the bestselling 1988 Critic's Choice mass market paperback of supernatural horror, written by Grabowsky under the infamous pseudonym of Nicholas Randers.

An ancient predecessor of modern-day vampires casts its evil upon the peaceful Montana town of Bloomgarden circa 1980's, where high-schooler Chris Barrett, his friends, a mysterious old man and a self-righteous preacher must learn to deal with these formidable demons while wrestling with their inner ones. Celebrated as the author's first published work, this was also the first in a succession of early Grabowsky horror-fantasies penned under the Randers name.

Terror is the Nemesis of mankind, peeking over our shoulders, following us into shadowed corners, and making our worst nightmares come true.

If you want a true taste of the myriad forms terror can take, try a sampling of fifteen stories by some award-winning stars of the horror genre, including John Everson and Nicholas Grabowsky. Follow the bloody trail of tortured spirits, macabre monsters, and worst of all, diabolical human beings, into a world we all know exists but try to avoid at all costs. Echoes of Terror explores the darkest reaches of what is, what might be, and what we hope could not possibly be true. With a vivid variety of styles and voices, there is something for every horror fan in this chilling collection.

 

Featuring a Grabowsky short story exclusively for this antho, "Looks Like A Rat To Me."ad you into the darkness...

Sweet Dreams, Lady Moon

2005 trade paperback, 117 pages, Diverse Media

Bestselling horror/fantasy novelist Nicholas Grabowsky wrote as Marsena Shane in the 1988 mass market paperback work-for-hire romance classic about a young woman frustrated with her life who dreams about a mysterious love interest until he manifests into her real world, now presented here revised, resurrected  and self-published with cheesy but entertaining photoshop illustrations by Grabowsky himself when he was drunk..  It's a good story, well-written enough to gain Grabowsky his first agent back almost twenty years ago, and spawned a screenplay.  The original paperback is extremely rare, but Diverse Media made it available again for whoever wants to read..  It's cheap, dark, and though pink on the outside, it's sure to whet the appetite of any Grabowsky fan yearning for something a deeper red afterwards.  Call it a before-dinner mint, or, compared to dinner, like some damn good parsley decorating the ribeye steak..

The War of the Worlds
2005 Coscom Entertainment, trade paperback re-issue
First published in 1898, The War of the Worlds was, and remains, one of H.G. Wells's finest works. Forty years later, a radio broadcast from Wells's tale fooled thousands into thinking the East Coast had fallen victim to Martian attack.

When a small cylinder crashes just outside London, onlookers are not prepared for what is about to be unleashed. Shortly after the onslaught begins, Earth fights back but is quickly brushed aside as the Martians destroy everything in their path. Soon London is evacuated and the hope mankind survives disappears.

"...at the turn of the century and the mentalities of society back then, no one had entertained the idea of an extraterrestrial invasion before. Period."

- Nicholas Grabowsky, from his introduction

The Invisible Man
2005 Coscom Entertainment, trade paperback re-issue
One wintry day, a stranger enters the town of Iping. He is clad from head to foot; no one sees his face. Soon after his arrival, bizaare events occur that cannot be explained.

The violence and terror begins.

"...stripping the work down to its bare bones...one will admit that the very concept itself is one of land marked proportions draped layer after compelling layer of ideology and vision which has been the subject of analysis and inspiration for the best of us ever since."

- Nicholas Grabowsky, from his introduction
