This isn't everything but it's damn near it. This is only the pre-breakup vinyl discography. I do love Size Matters and would've included it but that was a CD only album.

The three Meantime records are the original Amphetamine Reptile press, the Brazilian LP with inverted colors and the gatefold repress.

Today was my day off work and I decided to spend a couple of hours digging through the cheapo bins at a local bookstore. I've had pretty good luck there in the past but today I hit the jackpot.

I'm not techy enough to figure out how to post multiple photos so here is what you're looking at:

September 2007 w/ John Langan "Episode Seven: Last Stand...",

January/February 2010 w/ John Langan "City of the Dog",

February 2003 w/ Laird Barron "Old Virginia"

April 2007 w/ Gene Wolfe "Memorare".

I was a little disappointed that none of the stories had a little drawing F&SF will sometimes include on the first page but for $1 per issue, I can't really complain.

Every story has ended up in a collection eventually but I still like the first original magazine appearances. It's like a time capsule with non-fiction writing, ads and reviews.

Lebbon was an accidental discovery for me. I had taken advantage of a Cemetery Dance grab bag back in the day they sent them to you on time. One of the books was the limited edition of Fears Unnamed. I've been a devout reader and collector but eventually I dropped off when Lebbon started dabbling in on-spec novelization and had overtaken Patterson (I jest) with the number of books he was publishing. Plus I'm generally not into his YA and fantasy books. That said, the format I think suits him best is the short story. Generally speaking, the best format for horror fiction is the short story and the novella. YMMV.

I have to do some digging but I do believe these are all of his short story collections and I've included a few chapbooks as well. Most of these are limited editions: White and Other Tales of Ruin is limited to 100 and is signed by Lebbon, Caniglia and Jack Ketchum. It arrived with an unsigned bonus chapbook More Tales of Ruin that Tim was kind enough to sign and date. Actually, unless the book was published as a signed edition, I asked Tim to sign during our correspondence 10+ years ago. He took the time to sign everything and for that I'm forever grateful. He even shipped the books in a box. You'd be surprised how many writers send their books in padded envelopes only.

Anyway. The Thief of Broken Toys is limited to 75, As the Sun Goes Down and Nothing As It Seems are limited to 100, White and Faith in the Flesh were published unsigned but these are signed and dated.

Get your hands on a random horror best of anthology and you're bound to find a Lebbon story in it. I suggest starting with White.

I just need the original Kill Em All tape and I'm set.

I do have VHS tapes too but I can't remember where they are.

Friggen love Power Trip. I was lucky to have seen them a few times with Riley.

I think this is everything they released. I know about Armageddon Blue and the split with Integrity, those are on Opening Fire.

I'm still looking for Pain of Mind on Alchemy. I have the repress on Relapse but I'm so, so close to the full set that'd it'd be silly to stop now.

Is this something I can fix by myself?

We're having a "feels like 43 C" heatwave and I'd rather be inside with my good pals, original Metallica pressings*

*Except TBA and Garage Inc these are all first pressings in the first picture and miscellanea in the second picture. Includes the complete set of classic albums on colour.

Kill 'Em All are Music For Nations and Banzai pressings. RtL is Banzai.

I'm glad Earache is keeping their classic catalogue in print at sensible prices.

I haven't listened to anything past Heretic. Anything worth exploring?

Maybe one day I'll look for the singles too. These will do until then.

I saw them twice in Toronto. I still hope they'll play an occasional show but that's not likely to happen.

I like everything they released but Panopticon and Oceanic are untouchable.

I recently received the Hyperion set from The Broken Binding and thought the time was right for a family photo. (The set is all first printings).

The only books I'm still after are Children of the Night, A Winter Haunting and Summer Sketches and then the uncollected short fiction.

Most of these are signed and dated, the booklet is Banished Dreams and the tube contains the dust jackets with original artwork from The Broken Binding. I'll have those framed eventually.

I never got to see Entombed but I bet they were awesome.

Someone had asked about this recently and I wanted to show off my very unique and special bookends (wait for it..) a friend had given me as a housewarming gift.

I believe this is the full set. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

I've sold a big chunk of my collection but I'll be holding onto these because each book has an introduction unique to it.

Slide 3 is my TDT sleeve for fun.

Rosie's favourite is Apex Predator. I celebrate all of the ND eras but my favourite are FEtO and Utopia Banished.

One of the best sounding metal bands I've ever seen.
