So Black Friday is upon us. Personally I’d like a few graphics novels in half-price ebook. Especially new biographical graphic novel H.P. Lovecraft: He Who Wrote in Darkness which is still an eye-watering £18 on the Kindle. I already have the latter as a low-res review preview, but a high-res copy would be very nice. Though I don’t expect any of them will be down in price. The new three-volume searchable ebook edition of J. R. R. Tolkien Companion and Guide looks similarly stuck at its standard set price.

Spotted so far…

* Hippocampus Press has a few discounts. Including the three-volume hardcover for H. P. Lovecraft’s Collected Fiction: A Variorum Edition at half-price.

* For gamers, Chaosium has a coupon-code based sale over the weekend.

* PS Publishing has heavy discounts on many anthologies, including a bundle of Joshi’s Black Wings series.

* The H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society Store. I can’t see any discount there yet.

* Necronomicon Press has free shipping for paper items, including the Crypt of Cthulhu paper editions not yet in PDF…

Free shipping for all United States orders of $20 or more (*excluding our Rarities, etc., section) – MAKE CTHULHU GREAT AGAIN!

* A pack of big hi-res Lovecraft graphics is at 50% off this weekend. ‘Commercial use’ for print products made by individuals, charities, and sole traders.

* It’s possible that big gallery sites such as DeviantArt will have discounts on its Core membership. (DeviantArt is free, but being Core is a nice non-essential extra). Incidentally, banish the foot-fetishist (singular, as my theory is it’s all posted by one bloke under different names) from DeviantArt, with the free Web browser add-on DeviantArt Filter 5.0.

* Horror and sci-fi artists using 3D and Poser (down modestly, to $90, this weekend) will be interested in the Renderosity store and its coming discounts on affordable 3D content this weekend.

* Oh, and if you were thinking of picking up a heavily-discounted Amazon Kindle Fire tablet, and you want to read graphic novels from it… then I highly recommend the 2017 10″ HD model instead of the 8″. I got one in the Black Friday sales last November, with the help of a little royalties pay-out, and I find it excellent.
