That copy of The Cyesolagniac that was on ebay, I can't seem to track it anywhere. I know Sideshow produced a hardcover that was released as part of the black Ink Chapbook set, but what's with this lettered copy? Was that produced at the same time? I can't find info on it anywhere.

Who was the lettered for? And how many copies were produced?

Does anyone know?

Yup. I got a copy when it was published. 26 lettered copies of each of the four books in the series. This is the first one I have seen on eBay.

Oh yeah. The lettered copies are the only hard covers.

Now if you would have looked at my post called " a list of published works" you could have seen this yourself!

Hmm... Thanks man, good thing I grabbed it then.

Glad you got it, man. It's been a great deason for collecting lettered editions. I think I have picked up fifteen titles in the last few months.

Yeah? Which ones?

Miskatonic Books put up on the bay lettered copies of their last few Ed Lee releases .They originally sold for $300 and I got em around hundred to hundred fifty. Three or four Cemetery Dance Ed Lee lettereds at around a hundred.Piccirilli and Hodge CD for under a hundred. A real score was the Delirium lettered edition of Campbell's The Parasite for cheap. Cahill's Ten Tales for one third the going price. Bad Moon Books screwed up and did a buy it now for John Shirley's Really Weird Stories hardcover for $40. About two thirds of my Ed Lee books are now lettered editions...

That's really cool. I just love the feeling of getting one in the mail. It changes my whole week. I just snagged a Succulent Prey lettered... I'm pretty much the happiest dude in Australia right now. I just can't wait to get back to Canada, so the shipping won't be so bad... Oh man, it's tough sometimes having this kind of addiction. I'll have to buy another suitcase if I'm not careful.

Want the Thrust lettered by Piccirilli!!!

So it is you that keeps winning all the good stuff then?I have a two year old who drains most of my cash so no lettered copies for a very long time. Enjoy your books, the Cyesolagniac lettered looked pretty sweet.

Some of it I guess. The Cyesolagniac has been a perpetual hole I've been waiting to fill.

And Succulent Prey??? Jesus... I'm gonna sleep with that thing. Maybe you'll see me on the cover of a news paper after I re read it.

There is a copy of The Rising lettered on ebay right now for 50.00!

I have bought four books lately from the person who has The Rising listed. Great books. I currently have a few bids in on some of her auctions. I might be a different guy than most but Keene doesn't do a damn thing for me. I thought The Ghoul was fine, but nothing else has done anything but make me puzzled about what's the fuss.

Ive never read any Brian Keene, but I sorta get the feeling like he might not live up to what I find myself pursuing in literature these days.

Right now,I just want to find the most disturbing shit out there, and right now... I'd say my collection is doing alright... Any suggestions?

Fuck, I wish they'd come out with a High Life Lettered edition... Anyone know any decent lit along the lines of High Life?

Also... I'd love to get a lettered of GAST!!!

High Life never even got a hardcover edition if I recall. The only book that it reminded my of was American Psycho, if you can handle all the clothing brand references and topical brands.
Have you read Haunter (released in a longer version as Soma) by Charlee Jacob? THE GIRL NEXT DOOR by Jack Ketchum makes you fucking scared to turn the page but you got to anyway.
Rex Miller's first book SLOB is tough, pretty much everything else he did was hurriedly written. Brian Hodge's collection THE CONVULSION FACTORY is literate and very corrosive. Lestewka's Confessions Of The Archivist.I like the first couple Lucy Taylor short story collections. Gord Rollo's JIGSAW (re-released as The Jigsaw Man.) Arnzen's Grave Markings, Hodge's Deathgrip.
Pick up a copy of Randy Chandler's and Winter-Damon's DUET FOR THE DEVIL. that should be hardcore enough for anyone...

I don't have either of the Camelot Book's Lettered editions of Lee's novels. I have the short stuff in hardcover, if issued that way.

I've read American Psycho and The Girl Next Door... Both are amazing. But the movies blew... Well, I guess TGND was alright.

The limited Soma hardcover is staring at me as I type, as is the Limited Dread and The Beast. I brought them both to Australia, but have yet to read them... I will though, before I leave.

The rest I am presently looking into... Thanks for the list JPOKELA (however that's pronounced)!!

And yes, a hardcover of High Life would be amazing. Fuck Akashic though... They suck at hardcovers, suck a big pus-filled nut sack, they do. Sinister grin should do it.

Strange that I'm currently in the same city as Matthew Stokoe.

Shit, just scored a hard cover of Ladies Night by Jack Ketchum!!! Mint condition.

My name is Jim Pokela. The last name is three syllables with the emphasis on the first one. Po' ke la. Most last names from Finland follow the same pattern.

Haha... You caught that eh? Figured as much, but it was still messin with me for some reason... My names Matt.

Just picked up that copy of The Cyesolagniac!! This is actually a cool little book. Love the artwork. Thought it was gonna be blue, but it's black... Can't wait to read the story.

On another note, I just tracked down a copy of THRUST, by Piccirrili. THAT one looks awesome!!! Comes in that mental institution, with a knife on the side.

This makes me think about the release of Header 3... Didn't Larry say he was going to do the lettered of the next Edward Lee book? I would LOVE to see this book come out in one of these massive type lettered editions. Something significant to the story. Like with Header Two, it could have been released in a truck like Heldon, Dumar and Mickey Mack were in, and when you flip the side open you could see them all head fucking Vincetti's grandmother. This could have been concealed behind a clear plastic plate, then below that could have been the book, but when you pull the book out, you get a nice big Helda underneath. Then a small figure of... what's her name? Q ball? Spin ball? Highball? I forget... The bitch whose top drawr... And you can take her head and insert it into Helda's snatch. Complete with fish smell.

That would have been cool.

Shit, I just realized, it was Highball.
