Nathan, a copy or two of Spectres seems to pop up on eBay each year. You're going to pay out the ass for it there (I speak from experience), but I've seen at least three copies in as many years.

You'll find a copy eventually!

I've still never read any Weighell, even though multiple people have recommended it to me. I'll have to check it out.

No, I saw it on LibraryThing. I've been searching for a copy too -- and can't find one at any price. I'm used to being asked for an arm, a leg and a second mortgage for some of these limited editions, but it's rare that one is just not on the used market at all. Spectres and Ron Weighell's collection are probably the two rarest titles I'm currently trying to beg, borrow or otherwise acquire, and Spectres seems to be the rarer of the two.

This is not really related to Jean Ray, but I thought you might be interested in this tidbit from Ray Russell, posting on the forums at ligotti.net:

"I can report that an expanded reprint of Owen's "The Desolate Presence" is being worked on with the original translator, but patience is required... Advance orders are not yet being taken :-)"

Colin: it's great to hear from you! I hope you enjoy the stories. I think "The Formidable Secret of the Pole" and "The Mainz Psalter" are the best of the four.
