Dec 20, 2003 15:21:22 I was up at a bookstore at my local mall today doing a little holiday shopping, and I actually found a copy of Knight of the Black Rose!!! I've been trying to get ahold of my own copy of this book since I first read it a couple years ago. I'll never again say the mall is useless. Now, if you'll all excuse me, I have some reading to do.

I found a Forbidden Lore box at a medieval store. I won't buy it though.
It's to Sleep with Evil that I want!!!

Dec 20, 2003 16:43:08 After four years of searching, I discovered an almost mint copy of King of the Dead in a used book store that I wasn't even going to go into. That and Tower of Doom took me forever and a day to discover, but they're mine now... ALL MINE!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!

That book is a great read.

Other Ravenloft novels I recommend tracking down: "Dance of the Dead," "Carnival of Fear," "Scholar of Decay," "To Sleep With Evil," and "Spectre of the Black Rose."

Dec 21, 2003 10:25:49 I actually left my name and number with one of the guys up there with instructions to call me if they ever manage to get a copy of Spectre in stock. As it is, they also had I, Strahd up there but I didn't have the money to get it.

Dec 21, 2003 15:48:47 In addition to Mr. Millers suggestions, I'd like to add MORDENHEIM and HEART OF MIDNIGHT.

Especially Heart of Midnight.

Spectre of the Black Rose is still "in print," the last I heard, which means it should be available through Amazon.com. Same with Knight and one or two other Ravenloft books.

For the books that are out of print, try http://www.bookfinder.com or even http://www.half.com. You should be able to get most of the RL fiction titles at those places for reasonable prices.

Dec 26, 2003 16:18:58 Thanks for the tips. The book stores around here have a tendancy not to stock any of the good stuff, yet I saw like 30 books in the store about American Idol.

Dec 30, 2003 6:03:19 Hmm there's stacks of old Ravenloft Novels at my store, all mint condition, all never touched. They just sit there not doing anything.

I feel sorry for them.

Jan 07, 2004 15:41:21 I really strange, In denmark we have a good pile of Knight- and Spectre- of the black rose, along with the two I strahd books.
Most fantasy stores still have those, BUT ALL others are mission impossible to find.
It seems reverse when people form the US is talking about them.

No, that's actually typical. The Soth and Strahd books are the only ones still in print--that is, still available "new" from the publisher. All the others are out of print.

Jan 07, 2004 16:35:11 Didn't know that. Thanks.

Has there been any rumors about reprinting any of the old books???

I was extremly lucky half a year ago and got one untouched copy of Carnival of fear and tales of ravenloft, after a years scearch. But it is virtually impossible to get anything else.

It's possible that WotC would reprint some of the titles, but I haven't heard any specific plans.

Didn't DL fans successfully petition to get a trilogy reprinted, or are the faries playing with my memories again?

I hadn't heard about that, but it's possible.

If anyone wants specific books to come back into print, or new books with a certain character or connected to a specific line or even from a specific author, they should write to WotC's book division, c/o the executive editor or the managing editor (addressing the letters to the titles are fine). Physical letters have more impact than e-mail. Be polite. Be specific. Use the address--the PO box address in Renton, WA--from any of their recent products.

Heh. I have no idea if I would even be invited to do another RL novel for WotC, or if I would say yes. I have a lot of other projects going right now, writing projects for which I hold copyright, so my interest in doing work-for-hire is not what it was five or ten years ago

yes. The petition ran on these boards (in the DL section), and the registration was over at www.dragonlance.com, in October last year, if I remember correctly.
It got well over a 1000' hits, I supported it personally.
I was a reprint the Elven- and Dwarven- nations trilogy.
The elven nations trilogy is going in reprint in 2005. But we have heard nothing of the dwarfs.

btw I am stil looking for elven nations triogy with the old covers, it is so damn hard to find.
