"Shadowland Readme" - читать интересную книгу автора (Straub Peter)

B O O K W O R M

Welcome to the 31st release from me, Bookworm.

My aim is to produce ebooks of the very highest quality in the format best suited to their release, whilst at the same time endeavouring to preserve the original format of the paper-based book intended by the author/publishers.

All of my ebooks have been carefully proof-read but, as always, please report any errors in the text, amend (where applicable) and repost with a different version number.

As a brief break from my continuing quest to get all of Stephen King's works into ebook form, here is "Shadowland" by Peter Straub.

If you read nothing else by Peter Straub, read this book! Although not his very best in terms of style it's still one of my personal all-time favourite books for it's sheer atmosphere and it's ability to scare.

Thanks to the original unknown scanner of this book who released it in #bookz as an *html file. I have corrected some errors on proof-reading and reformatted the book for the UK 1986 Edition, complete with artwork.

Interestingly I also have the UK 1st Edition 1980 Hardback which has several changes to the text (presumably to make it "easier" for the British audience), which I may get around to releasing also at a future date. Apparently the publishers dumped these changes when publishing the 1986 paperback and went back to the "American" version - and that is the form in which this release appears.

As usual I am releasing the book in *.doc, *pdf, and *.txt formats, all but the latter being complete with the original UK paperback covers and artwork.

Enjoy!
