What is a CD Grab Bag?
A Grab Bag (the one you're asking about is from Cemetery Dance publishers) is when a publisher offers up various things that they've published or will publish for a cheaper price. So you might get a couple of signed books, maybe a magazine, maybe an advance readers copy of a forthcoming book, etc. It's luck of the draw. If you've been following Dana Jean's posts in the 'The Year of Cemetery Dance 2018' she has purchased a few of these grab bags and has been posting her thoughts about the books after she has read them. I have bought a few of these myself over the years and it is a good way to add some rather nice books to a collection for a great price.

Thanks for answering my question. Sorry if I asked a silly question, I never knew about that people could do this. The closest thing I know of to this is Beta Testing for games, and computer programs.

I edited your post to put the name of the right thread. I hope that's okay.

How much is a grab bag? EDIT: 79 dollars, oof. I wonder when pre-orders for "The Stand" special edition are coming.
