You'd better be more careful! You nearly got tarred, feathered and ridden out of town on a rail!

I know, tough board

I don't understand. Disappointed by "Freak Show?"

I'm with you, Maggers. Every author did him-or-herself proud, Paul wrote the connecting tales, so how could it be bad?

I’m new to the list and this topic, but a long-time fan. I don't consider myself a hardcore collector, since I don't have all of FPW's books. However, I probably fall somewhere in the upper-middle range. While I don’t have all the Gauntlet books (I lack the first two), and also lack a few of books entirely (MIRAGE and THE FIFTH HARMONIC, plus THE CHRISTMAS THINGY), I do own the Dark Harvest editions of the Adversary Cycle, as well as the Doubleday editions of the earlier sf works. I bought and read my first F. Paul Wilson book in 1986, and most books were acquired around the date of publication after that year. One of the rarest items on this list might be THE TOUCH, the first edition hardcover of which almost is impossible to find these days. I am delighted with the design and tone of Cemetery Dance’s edition of MIDNIGHT MASS, but it’s disturbing to see two typos on the first page alone of this expensive edition. After Jack Vance, FPW probably is the second most common name in my book collection.

<snip> The top item in my collection isn't actually by FPW, it is by Ken Kelly. It is a pencil sketch recreating his cover art for The LaNague Chronicles. <snip>

If I have worked this right, clicking here should let you see the sketch.
Keeping fingers crossed that it works.

Someone please post a pic of the blonde on the cover of AEOTS that supposedly looks like FPW. I have yet to see that.

Are you talking about the paperback edition? I have the book somewhere, and found a copy of the cover in the Amazon archives:
