    I'm not familiar with the June books but April and May are all sound guesses. If those are the books I will certainly be interested in what Paul comes up with on the design of The Black Phone.

    April - 'The Black Phone' - Joe Hill
    May - 'Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator' - Roald Dahl
    June - 'Cyteen' by C. J. Cherryh or 'Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang' by Kate Wilhelm

      Newest release is The Black Phone by Joe Hill.

      Go forth and buy if you are so inclined.

        Looks like today's book is The Black Phone by Joe Hill. While I love me some Joe Hill and while I'm sure the production will look great, $155 for a 46-page short story is an easy pass for me. Will be happy just reading the story again in my LE copy of 20th Century Ghosts!

          Same. Perhaps I’ve become too jaded as a collector, but a limited reprint of a story I already have in a nice deluxe, signed volume just holds no lure. I passed on FAWN, and will pass on this one. For the more ardent Hill collector, I’m sure this’ll be a book they’ll love since, as we all know, Suntup does beautiful work.

            Letterpress, slip, nice end papers, are all lovely sounding but for a short story this production is also outside my wheelhouse.

            I do agree that this will be a beautiful book for sure.

              My thoughts exactly. As others have said, it looks like a beautiful production and if I was a diehard Joe Hill collector, this would be a great addition.

                Like everyone has mentioned, I think the production is going to look great, but I must admit I was a little disappointed not to see more bonus content related to the story itself, especially to flesh out the page count. It would have been great to have some additional story notes from Joe Hill or his reflections on the story all these years later.

                Moreover, I thought it would have been interesting to include some essays about the journey to becoming a feature film or perhaps something from one of the actors in the film, such as Ethan Hawke, explaining his journey to becoming the grabber. Even some movie stills would have been neat, too.

                And, with a sequel movie being made, how cool would it have been to get a sequel story from Hill to include along with this one? Oh well, my wallet could use a bit of a break anyway!

                I hope everyone that does pick up a copy loves it!

                  You know, I kinda thought the same thing. I saw that Cargill is doing an afterword and all I could do was wonder why the screenplay wasn't included.
