The Haunting of Hill House books look gorgeous, especially that lettered edition. Dear God. There is a part of me regretting not picking up the limited when I had the chance. While Suntup has not had the best luck hooking me in--I'm not a big King fan so Misery was an easy pass, Hill House has a competing edition coming from Centipede, and I was not a big fan of Horns--I'm starting to think I need to jump on the next edition offered. Hopefully it is something a little more in my wheelhouse.

I happened to love Misery. It's my most re-read King book. Even more than IT and The Stand. So that was a fantastic release and I will forever mourn not being able to secure a numbered edition. But it was the entire experience and quality of the finished product that got me to sign on for the next two.
I almost didn't with Horns because of the price. And I do worry that if future editions will be set at that price or higher, I don't know how long I'll be able to cling on. But I plan on being there as long as I can.
All of that is my way of saying you definitely should try to add at least one Suntup numbered in your collection. Just let me get on the King numbered track first.

Every purchase feels like you win something. It's crazy. Maybe the fervor will die down for me, but the affinity will never go away because this is exactly the experience I'm looking for. It's a celebration of the written word at a time when people rush to Twitter to consume snippets.

I've never read it because so many people have blasted it as his worst and I thought it might be an unfair place to start. I have Strange Weather on order here and I planned on making that my first read. It's definitely going to come down to Horns or Strange Weather. Whichever gets to me first might be the first Hill I read.

Now if Horns had been Heart Shaped Box instead. I would have been all over it. I agree with Martin: I think you should start with that one. I LOVED that book. Maybe that's why I was so let down when I read Horns; my expectations were too high. Maybe I should buy a Suntup AGE and give it a reread...

I'll say that the AGE of Misery is outstanding. I'm sure the quality will be the same for the AGE of Horns.

Do not listen to that voice!

All the pictures I have seen of their books--especially the lettered editions--have been unique and beautiful designs. I really like the spacer Paul showed off for Hill House. Just a really smart decision that comes from being a collector.
