| Post subject: | Couple questions about differences in the text |
Having recently become a complete Lee junkie I have come across people talking about different versions of certain books, chapbooks. Just wondering how much different is Gast from The Black Train, is it worth getting a copy of Gast (kind of a stupid question, but if it a few paragraphs difference) Room 415 supposedly has a different ending?? I bought the Necro chapbook from a guy from e-bay, but where is the other ending found? The Bighead, I have the Necro ebook and have a tpb coming with I assume the Necro ending also, how different is the other ending too? Also are there any others that have alternate endings other then those 3 I know of? Sorry I'm sure most of these questions have been asked before, but I keep getting sidetracked reading others posts, rather then look for the info I need. |

Hi. Yes, most of your questions have been answered already in previous posts, but I will help you out: Gast has a LOT more hardcore sex scenes that wouldn't be appropriate for the mass market version, The Black Train. Room 415-The alternate version is found in the lettered version of Damned. It's a horror anthology. The Bighead-The Necro version is the occult ending, whereas the Overlook version is more of a sci-fi ending. The overlook ending was Ed's original and preferred ending, whereas Necro wanted to change it. As far as alternate endings, these are the only ones I know of. However, the Necro versions of Incubi and Succubi have some extended scenes, from what I understand. Hope this info helps you, and welcome to the board. |

Thanks for having patience with me and giving me some answers.  Looks like I'm going to have some hunting to do to get all of them, though I have a feeling a lettered copy of the Damned is either not going to be for sale or way out of my meager price range. Saw a few pics of that book and it is a beauty, a pure work of art. Those 26 people must be some happy sons of .... |

Hey crackjaw, i like the term junkie, I think i have become that too. I got into Edward Lee through a friend about 12months back and have become somewhat of an addict. since my first book The Pig/The House i was hooked and have read pretty much Lee books since. I have not got any of these ltd 13 copies printed books but have got a little collection i am quite proud of. cant wait to add Mangeld Meat and Dunwich Romance to the book shelf. so far my collection stands at Hardbacks The Pig/House signed numbered Going Monstering signed numbered Header 2 w chap book signed numbered Teratologist signed EL and WJW Creekers signed numbered Slither signed Golemesque signed Pages Torn From a Travel Journal signed numbered The Cyesolagniac signed numbered (with 3 other chap books signed) The Bighead signed The Stickmen Boxed Lettered Backwoods signed Goon signed numbered EL and JP Family Traditions Paperbacks Minotauress signed You Are My Everything signed Goon The Haunter of The Threshold Innswich Horror Trollley 1845 Brain Cheese Buffet Bullet Through Your Face Carnal Surgery The Quest for Sex Truth and Reality Some fans may not think much of this list but i am proud (only in 12months). May Mr Lee keep adding to this list.

PS i have borrowed and read from a very close friend Header, Police Man's Cock Ring and Pigs and Spiders. Is there anything other fans would recommend that i read next?  Try to make it something I can get my hand on. Cheers |

Impressive list for one year's time. I'd recommend The Messenger. I noticed you don't have that one. It's one of Ed's mass market novels, but the story is excellent. Both my wife and I loved it. |

I was really fond of Monstrosity- you should be able to get a copy of the paperback fairly cheap. |

COVEN is a great Ed Lee novel. Great list of books! I own pretty much everything Ed has written. But I have been at it for 8 or 10 years! |

Great posts, all. My old brain doesn't recall any further alternate endings. There will likely be a trade pb and Kindle version of The Chosen fairly soon and I was thinking of using the original ending that my editor asked me to change when the pb first came out in the mid 90's...if I can only find it! Thanks for your interest! Edward Lee |
