SIGNED (seven times) Copy of OCTOBER DREAMS

Have an authenticated Horror volume anthology titled: \"OCTOBER DREAMS, A CELEBRATION OF HALLOWEEN\" a very good condition PAPERBACK copy from ROC horror publishing.Has autographs of seven of the authors who submitted and published stories in the book.
Writings remarks and drawing(a cool little skull) are dated and signed verifying the time when they were mostly all at NECON 23, a writers workshop.

what is further interesting is most of the writings are "dedicated" to one WINKIE LEE,
Real name Blanche LEE. a well known and highly respected columnist for the
GOLDSBORO NEWS ARGUS in GOLDSBORO NC.
We proved winkie lee was ALSO at the same writers retreat at the same time thus gaining this book provable provenance and also authenticating most if not all of all the signings, this is the real deal!
whoo hoo!
Would you like this book for your collection/store? Of course you may inspect the book and feel free to look up winkie lee and NECON 23. she was there and so were they.
Sadly, winkie lee died in 2009 and somehow her book ended up in a thrift store which I bought simply to read.
Great book by the way..., with all those siggys.
One signer is JACK KETCHUM and another is CHRISTOPHER GOLDEN.
Also F. PAUL WILSON, YVONNE NAVARRO, STANLEY WIATER, RICK HAUTALA and Kelly Laymon.

My addy is ceedee1500@yahoo.com
Please let me know if you wish this book for your collection/store.
Thanks in advance.

Hey Doc make me an offer I cannot refuse. I have it for sale at five hunnert for openers. But I'll take less just to move it.
Winkie Lee was not just a journalist but an EDITOR of the news argus as well. She was the features editor of The Goldsboro News-Argus for 24 years.

Her writing has appeared in Family Circle magazine, the Greenville Daily Reflector and Greenville Times, and she had a column in the Roanoke Rapids newspaper.
She was also quoted in an article in The New York Times Aug. 24, 2003, about a writer's retreat she had attended in Quebec, Canada.


I tried to get in touch with her famm to see if they wanted it back for a grandchild or a niece or nephew or even her own chilluns. but have not heard back from them.

She was proud of this book I know and it must have been a prized possession.
So how does that end up in a thrift store?
winkie must be rolling in her grave.
or maybe she wished me to have it?
In any event I wish to sell. thanks winkie!
So doc what do you think?
