I actually never got around to reading Hannibal. I had always planned to read it; however, I made the mistake of watching the movie beforehand which completely stunk IMO. Because of that, I never went back and actually read the book. For that reason, I would be excited if Hannibal ends up being the announcement as it would finally give me a reason to read it. I also love the idea of having a complete Suntup "Lecter" set.Last edited by Martin; 03-14-2022, 09:47 PM.

Everything I have ever read about HANNIBAL suggests to me that I would not at all enjoy it, so I’ve never bought it. I don’t think this Suntup edition will change that, but we’ll see.

#1 is clearly Hannibal. King referred as The Exorcist and Hannibal as the two scariest books he has read at one time.
#2 Since The Omen was a novelization of a movie I do not expect that to be the title. I have no clue what it is but hope it is not The DaVinci Code.
#3 Le Guinn matches the description. Gaimans American Gods would also fit. The fact that it is not signed by the author pushes me to lean into Le Guinn.

1) Stephen King once referred to this book as “one of the two most frightening novels of our time. I cheated and put that quote into the old google machine. Using the results, my guess would be Thomas Harris' Hanibal, which would make sense considering he has already published the two prior books in the series.
2) This terrifying tale drawn from Biblical prophecies spawned one of the most successful horror franchises of all time. Not sure if this was an actual book or a novelization of a movie, but, my guess is The Omen. I know that The Omen has had multiple films and would be considered a successful franchise. it also fits the Biblical prophecies hint.
3) An American classic by one of the most influential novelists of postmodern literature, this Nebula and Hugo award-winning book is considered the author’s finest masterpiece. No idea on this one. My random guess is Ursula K Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness.

I now have a budget that I have to follow to the penny, so my book purchases have to be right for me now. Sadly, this is another title I have to pass on.

I have the signed (by Crouch) and numbered UK 1st HC from Goldsboro, so am skipping this new edition. But if I didn’t have the earlier deluxe edition, I’d be all over this Suntup edition…it’s such a great read, I loved it.

I took some pictures comparing it to CD's IT - definitely a tad thicker. Not sure if it's the thickest book I have, but it would be damn close. I especially love the purple slipcase - it's just so stunning.
Also forgot the AGE came with the premium pack.
