Cast a Cold Eye | Alan Ryan, Professor of Politics Alan Ryan

Got a delivery today from the #nocturnalreadersbox 4 books that I ordered when they had a sale the other month. So happy to get this!

Crash I didn't know that Koji Suzuki had a new book out. Must investigate. (edited) 6y

BiblioNyan Cold Moon Over Babylon is classic Southern Gothic Horror novel. Very good if you enjoy that genre. 6y

thegreensofa Ooh the little baboon! 😍 6y

Anyone else subscribe to Nocturnal Readers Box? Have you received your June box yet? Kinda bummed about how far behind they are. I finally received my shipping notification for June but tracking info says it has not shipped yet. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I am extremely sympathetic to what they have been going through but I hope they get caught up soon. It‘s such an amazing subscription box!

vivastory I don't subscribe anymore. I understand they're only a few people running it & life can interrupt business, but it seems like every couple of months there was something causing a massive delay. 6y

LauraJ Haven‘t gotten mine either. A little annoyed that they‘re two months behind but have no problem charging me for next quarter. Not cool. 6y

DeeLew @vivastory I agree. They really need to hire help or find a way to be more organized. I‘ve already been charged for June, July, and August and haven‘t even gotten the June box. If they don‘t get caught up by mid-August I‘ll probably have to cancel. 😔 6y

DeeLew @LauraJ Right?! I hate to complain but, man it is frustrating. 6y

parasolofdoom I just got a somewhat petulant email that all June boxes are indeed out. I'm more upset with the sporadic communication than late timeline tbh. People just wanted to know if everything has been sent and wee upset no clear answer was made for a week. 6y

DeeLew @parasolofdoom I‘m a little irritated at that email. They need someone to handle their communication and customer service. I don‘t know why they are angry. Many of us have said nothing despite being charged for 3 boxes that we haven‘t received. It has been over a week since I got the email claiming that the June box was sent and the tracking # is useless. 😬 6y

parasolofdoom @DeeLew I am too and have been pretty annoyed at the way they have responded to other concerned customers on social media. It's not really asking too much just to want to know where they are in shipping out a product paid for well over 2 months ago. 6y

parasolofdoom @DeeLew actually just the fact that I've had to prowl FB and Instagram for any idea irritated me. Just a line or so that 1/2 the boxes are with the carrier, all boxes are out, etc in email would have been loads better than radio silence. 6y

DeeLew @parasolofdoom I agree completely! 6y

DeeLew @LauraJ @parasolofdoom still no sign of my June box!! 😡 6y

parasolofdoom @DeeLew I cancelled right after the charge for June because I thought the late shipping in previous months was getting ridiculous. I'm trying out a new box that has a horror option. I'm guessing NRB boxes will show up early August based on how long my shipping always took even with expedited. 6y

LauraJ @DeeLew Same here. 6y

DeeLew @LauraJ Did you get your June box yet? Still no sign of it here 😟 6y

LauraJ @DeeLew nada...tracking number is useless. 6y

parasolofdoom @DeeLew @LauraJ no box and tracking still doesn't work. Guessing this is a loss for the people who always were on the last couple loads 6y

DeeLew @parasolofdoom Yep. A person actually created a group on Facebook called NRB Updates for those of us who are still waiting. We‘ve been able to vent there. I guess I‘ll write it off and hope that we actually get our July box. I‘m going to cancel before they charge me for September. It‘s crazy that they keep charging. 6y

parasolofdoom @DeeLew I saw that link but didn't join because t 6y

parasolofdoom I figured the sycophants would be harassing people there for complaining 6y

parasolofdoom Man just the fact that you posted this blurb 3 weeks ago and still no concrete evidence these boxes existed is sad 6y

DeeLew @parasolofdoom it is insane. 6y

parasolofdoom I'm shocked at how much side drama with the update groups it generated 😱. 6y

DeeLew @parasolofdoom I know! Way too much drama for me. It really blew up last night and this morning. I‘m staying of Facebook for the rest of the night. It reminds me of why I love Litsy so much. All books. No drama. 6y

parasolofdoom @DeeLew I'm sometimes entertained by spectating fb drama but yeesh, I was tired after Wed 😂. The newer group at least pointed me in the right direction for Bank claim. 6y

DeeLew @parasolofdoom I‘m right there with ya! 😂 I haven‘t filed a claim yet. I probably better get on that! 6y

parasolofdoom Ugh me neither, the bank card I used is technically just in my fiance'ss name 6y

parasolofdoom So I have to explain to him why he has to get on the horn for some overpriced sub box 😬 6y

DeeLew @parasolofdoom My boyfriend has been telling me that I‘m getting scammed for weeks. I have such extreme social anxiety that I hate the thought of getting on the phone. It‘s obvious that the June box is not coming and it‘s look doubtful for the July box. 6y

DeeLew @parasolofdoom is this nightmare ever going to end?? The latest email update was downright hostile. 6y

parasolofdoom @DeeLew it's insane! I smell bankruptcy. I'm still trying to sift through all the shit to figure out what to send the Attorney General's office when I report the business. 6y

DeeLew @parasolofdoom I just hope everyone gets their money back. I don‘t think I will do anymore subscription boxes. 😳 6y

parasolofdoom @DeeLew I've done TONS and the only otob 6y

parasolofdoom *problem I've ever had was PageHabit forgetting to apply coupon codes and they credited everyone 10% off next box and at the time, THAT was the most annoying box problem I had come across 6y

parasolofdoom I'll definitely use PayPal from now on though because it's super easy to do disputes that way if needed 6y

Who Goes There?: The Novella that Formed the Basis of "The Thing" | John W. Campbell, Jr.

pick

I had to revisit this one after receiving this amazing print in my #nocturnalreadersbox. It's by Eric Nyquist and I can't wait to hang it. The Thing is one of my absolute favorite movies and the original story is also super creepy, although this may be one of the few instances where I like the movie a little bit more.

MiyakoBunny 😍🖤😍🖤😍🖤😍🖤 7y

Unbury Carol: A Novel | Josh Malerman

I may be stuck working and missing the LA Festival of Books, but at least I got #bookmail! Excited for this one. It was part of my #nocturnalreadersbox which also included my FOURTH copy of Slade House. It‘s a good book, but one copy is enough.

ReadingEnvy Gorgeous cover. 7y

parasolofdoom Ah I wish I had kept my subscription for Slade House! I cancel and renew nrb constantly sbd seriously always miss books I actually want and get the months that have sequels (which I hate in book boxes 😒). 7y

parasolofdoom I'm pretty positive that Unbury Carol is page habit's Horror pick this month too, the teaser said it was a dark twist on Sleeping Beauty. 7y

Quite impressed with this month's #nocturnalreadersbox. Both books sound great, the shirt is cool...love the print from The Troop. The glass is awesome, and the Mongrells bandana makes me even more excited that it's my next read. Good job, guys!

DeeLew I'm starting to read S right now! Loved this month's box. 7y

We Should Have Left Well Enough Alone | Ronald Malfi

Had a busy morning, so I got a late start on my #24in48, I'm still going to try for it. I'm starting off with a book I got in the #nocturnalreadersbox. I'm only a couple stories in, but I'm really enjoying it so far. I feel like I really don't read enough short stories so my goal this year is to read a bunch.

BekahB I haven‘t gotten to this selection yet, but I‘ve seen good reviews from people who‘ve read it. I‘m behind in my NRB books. 7y

HatefulGrablin @BekahB I've only had it a couple months, but I'm already starting to get behind too 7y

bibliobliss That cover! 7y

MiyakoBunny Yay 😍 Excited! 7y

JenlovesJT47 @MiyakoBunny do you subscribe? I'm actually super disappointed in this one and am thinking about canceling. Plus they didn't put one of the things in there that's supposed to be there (would have been my favorite thing too!😭). 7y

MiyakoBunny Awww That‘s too bad 😭 No I‘m not subscribed but I know I‘m getting next months gifted 💝 to me lol 😂 my husband doesn‘t know how to clear his browser 🤣 7y

JenlovesJT47 @MiyakoBunny I hope you enjoy it! Last month's box was amazing but I'm just really disappointed in this one. I might give it one more month and see how it goes, since they're supposed to have some cool stuff for February! 7y

JenlovesJT47 @MiyakoBunny and lol about your hubby not clearing his browser! 😂😂😱 7y

MiyakoBunny Same 🤞🏼🤞🏼Crossing my fingers for both of us that Feb‘s box 📦 is awesome 🖤 & yeah my husband + surprises don‘t mix lol 😂 7y

JenlovesJT47 @MiyakoBunny 😂😂😂at least he's trying! 😅 7y

MiyakoBunny Yes very true ☺️☺️☺️ 7y

Avanders Bummer about the missing object! I haven't done this one in a while, but I often think fondly of it. ☺️ Contact the people and tell them they didn't send the item -- I would think they'd be responsive? 7y

JenlovesJT47 @Avanders I contacted them last night and they replied within 5 minutes and said they will send it ASAP. They are very nice! 7y

Avanders 🙌🏽 yay! Glad to hear it ☺️☺️ 7y

The feeling of excitement when you finally get to open your #nocturnalreadersbox ! I know they have had lots of shipping issues, but January's box was so worth the wait!

Here‘s my Dec 2017 #NocturnalReadersBox loot!

This month‘s books are Tales from the Talking Board (I got a signed edition!) & Vermilion.

I ❤️ this Jaws mug! It‘s another design from Exhumed Visions.

And I‘m digging the Exorcist inspired planchette pin. We also got Overlook Hotel carpet washi tape, a Bentley Little can cooler, and NOS4A2 t-shirt. The art print is a scene from Bird Box by Ian Permana. I think this might be my favorite box so far!

RiotMom Whoa, that‘s super cool! 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage I really want to subscribe to this box! 7y

BekahB @RiotMom and @BarbaraTheBibliophage I really love this box! It costs a bit more than my other book boxes ($43 after shipping), but I feel like I get what I paid for every month. I especially love that I‘m introduced to horror authors and independent publishers that I might not have come across on my own. 7y

DeeLew This month's box is amazing! 7y

The Shining | Stephen King

Heeeerrrre‘s #NocturnalReadersBox! Well, my box sat with DHL for 13 days before it was handed to the USPS and then it took another 5 days to get to me - so let‘s just say I went a little crazy waiting for it. Here‘s my descent into madness as told through Jack Nicholson‘s portrayal of Jack Torrance (bottom left to upper right):

BekahB
1. Day 1: Yay! My NRB box shipped!
2. Day 3: It hasn‘t moved. Why hasn‘t it mooovvvveeed...
3. Day 6: REALLY?!
4. Day 10: Is it lost? Did someone steal it? Who would do that?! Maybe it was those creepy twins who hang out down the hall.
5. Day 13: I‘ll drive there and get it! Totally makes sense to cross several state lines to get this!
6. Day 15: Just the sound of my mouse clicking every 30 seconds, refreshing the tracking code. 7y

BekahB 7. Day 18: Hi my friendly neighborhood mail delivery person! I believe that box is for me! Oh don‘t worry about the door. I think my renter‘s insurance will cover it. And don‘t mind the axe; it‘s just for opening the box. Why are you running away?!

I‘ll show what was in this month‘s box in my next post. There will be a spoiler screen up in case someone hasn‘t received theirs yet - although I doubt that. 😂 7y

MinDea Bahahahaha! Hilarious! 7y

NCNY Ugh. I have a box in DHL limbo right now. Why do companies use DHL?!? 7y

Kalalalatja Hahahaha 😂😂 7y
