I recently got the urge to reread TROLLEY NO. 1852. Some of the scenes have been haunting me since I read it the first time. Anyone else have that same extreme urge to reread a Lee book you read not too long ago? If so, which ones?

Thanks for checking it out, and thanks for the compliment. Actually, the story on which it is based, HPL's fragment, "The Thing in the Moonlight," was a nightmare he had once. I remember decades ago, after reading it, I had nightmares of dudes with similar white cone faces. Groovy!

Best,

Edward Lee

Re-reading this book sounds like a great idea. Rarely has language taken me in as much as TROLLEY 1852. I rate this book as one of the most effective I have ever read.

GOON and EVER NAT because they make me laugh so damn much.

I still have some unread Lee books at home, but I have re read a few.

The Bighead- Not re read, but I got the audio book and listened to it
Evernat- Just to cheer me up.
Teratologist- To Me , this was an Ed Lee Drama , very sad.(w/Wrath James White)
The Minatauress(parts) - can anyone tell me excactly where the Hock scene was?

I never re-read any books, but I can see myself re-reading Edward Lee in the future because all of his non Leisure stuff is just so funny.

Family Tradition and City Infernal are good re-reads for me. Family Tradition was my first Lee book and just cracks me up every time I read it. And City Infernal is just a solid fun book. I'm also not one to re-read many books though...way too many things to read and not enough time to read them.

I somehow missed out on Ever Nat. Anyone know if it's still obtainable?

I can say that Ever Nat will be reprinted in a novella collection soon, but I won't mention details as I don't want to jinx it. As for rereading, I jus posted on another subject that during my recent 2 week trip to MD, I reread M.R. James story "The Ash-Tree" 12 out of 13 night in a row! If you haven' read this story, check it out 'cos it's absolutely cool.
