Hey Ed, any chance in 2010 some of your more rarer works like The Table, Splatterspunk, Header, etc. will be reprinted? BTW-What excatly was the chapbook The Table for? I only saw it once on Ebay. Thanks and happy holidays.

I'm told that a Header reprint is a done deal but, lo, who's doing it and when I don't know. I'll post the info the minute I get it. The Table was a short-short I did for Camelot a while back. One day I'm sure it'll be reprinted along with other tales, but that's not set yet. Overlook was interested in Splatterspunk some years ago but then I never heard back from them on it. In time, all this stuff will be rereleased; I can only ask you to be patient. But thanks much for your interest and support!

I know I've said this before but I'll say it again. I would LOVE to see a massive (500-600 pg) collection of all the short stories and just everything put together. But yeah, just throwing that out there.

The massive collections aren't that feasible these days due to increased printer and paper costs. I hope I'm not speaking too soon, but there may be a novella collection in the works, then a shorter story collection of older tales. As always, I'll let you all know when becomes a sure thing.

Thanks for your interest,

Oh yeah, there is interest! There is plenty of shorter work that could be collected into a volume or two. HEADER is perhaps the most sought after back catalog item just now. STICK WOMAN, THE DRITIPHILIST, MCCRATH MODEL, just a ton of great shorter work.

Maybe short story and novella collections don't do well on a mass market basis but I have problems believing that a small press Ed Lee collection of stories or novella length works, limited to 666 or something, would not sell out before publication. I know I'd pre-order them as soon as they'd get announced.

I can't wait to read a collection of hard-to-find tales. I've always wanted to read THE DRITIPHILIST.
I've read STICK WOMAN and it is one of the most brutal stories I've ever read from any author. It may not be real hardcore but it's just so....Oh, well I can't find the word for it (other than "awesome")

My apologies to your wife. Gee, I guess you won't be reading her any passages from Header 2. She'd divorce you!

Later!

Edward Lee
