In 2019, while sifting through University of Pittsburgh Library System’s George A. Romero Archival Collection, novelist Daniel Kraus turned up a surprise: a half-finished novel called Pay the Piper, a project few had ever heard of. In the years since, Kraus has worked with Romero’s estate to bring this unfinished masterwork to light.

SYNOPSIS: “Alligator Point, Louisiana, population 141: Young Renée Pontiac has heard stories of “the Piper” – a murderous swamp entity haunting the bayou – her entire life. But now the legend feels horrifically real: children are being taken and gruesomely slain. To resist, Pontiac and the town’s desperate denizens will need to acknowledge the sins of their ancestors – the infamous slave traders, the Pirates Lafitte. If they don’t … it’s time to pay the piper.”

    Well what can I say? The books have arrived this morning and suffice to say I'm one happy bunny. Not only have I got grade A service from you but the care and attention you pay to getting the books out in one piece is mind boggling.
    You will most definitely be my first port of call for buying books in the future as this is the single best online experience I've ever had of buying books. And I've bought quite a few.
    Thank you so much for the entire experience. I will be recommending you far and wide.

  • Steve Woodland Buyer of “Children of Time ”

    Most of us buy things on line all the time, and the service is, as we all know, variable. Sometimes you buy something and it stands out as being a special transaction and you just feel you’d like to tell others in the hope that they will buy something from the same place and have similar experiences. So it was with my recent purchase of Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

    Jeff, just to let you know I really appreciated the service you gave me on buying "Dark Corners" by Stephen Volk. Friendly and prompt communication, swift arrival, tightly packed, and excellent condition. Everyone else on Amazon and Abebooks was selling this for silly money, but your price was more than reasonable. Heartily recommend. Keep up the good work.

  • Kieron Buyer of “Dominion & Conquest (HB and Proof)”

    I was delighted with the condition of the books, with your fast friendly service, and with your packaging, which I'm pretty sure is the best I've seen in ten years using e-bay and Abebooks. I'll certainly be back soon

    I'm not saying anything new here; at Jeff'n'Joys, you get exemplary customer service and the best packing that I've ever come across. If I can acquire Lovecraftian or 'Weird Tales' titles through Jeff'n'Joys, it's always my first port of call.
