I pre-ordered this a little earlier. Can't wait!

Thanks for the heads up! For some reason I have yet to receive the alert I usually get as soon as a new Lee title gets listed at Horror Mall. Gorgeous cover art, too, by the way! It's gonna be a long wait until July...

It seemed to me that I receive the alerts usually once the announcement was made on horrorgy.com what didn't happen yet.

Cover art is absolutely great. I'm also tempted to preorder it but I am afraid I have to wait for a cheaper edition.

Thanks for posting this...been wondering what was going on with this one. Is there gonna be a lettered edition? Either way i'm gonna have to hold off a few days till my gi bill funds hit my account..school and a new vehicle are both draining my funds right now. Can't wait till july, it'll be an early birthday present for me.

Ordered mine yesterday through my Morning Star subscription, should be the same number as my Pages Torn. Cant wait!!

Ah what the hell! Ordered a copy anyhow. Just couldn't resist.

Thanks indubitably for pucking down your dough. This is a really cool book and I hope you all like it. I just reread parts of it last week and thought "Wow, this is damn good! Did I really write this?" There are some mind-blower scenes in this.

Best,

Edward Lee

Preordered as well!!!

Here the new synopsis taken from the Bloodletting Press forum:


SO SPAKE THE MAGISTRATE, “EVANORE WRAXALL, WHO SO OF THINE OWN FREE WILL HAST EMBRACED SATAN AND HIS IMPS, AND HATH WITH GLEE FORNICATED WITH DIVELLS IN NO HUMANE SHAPE...”

Welcome to Haver-Towne. The sedate colonial resort is the perfect place where Stew Fanshawe can get away from it all for a while. But instead finding tranquility and self-reflection, Stew finds something much more unique: a town that was once steeped in a quagmire of witchcraft, satanic debauchery, and centuries-old occult science. Indeed, Haver-Towne has a most colorful history:

“...AND DIDST ON MANY A TYME PERPETRATE DEVILTRY, BLACK MAGICK, INFERNALL PROPHESIE, AND MURTHER MOST UNHOLY...”

A warlock who sires children with his own daughter, children to be used for something far worse than sacrifice. A witch whose carnal abandon and sheer diabolism stagger even the most demented imaginations. And a 300-year-old mansion in whose walls are embalmed the infernal secret of...Witch-Water.

“...AND HATH DIS-ENTRENCHED YE DEAD FROM THEIR GRAVES AND WATCH’D MAIDENS BE RAPED AND HATH SLAUGHTER’D BABES IN THEIR CRIBS, AND REVELLED IN CRIMES UNSPEAKABLE UNTO SCRIPTURE...”

“What the hell is witch-water?” Fanshawe asks himself that first day he’d heard the macabre word, but when he finds out, he’ll wish he never had. His curiosity unlocks one morbid secret after another, and reveals a history of erotopathic witches, depraved covens, sick-in-the-head sexuality, and the most grotesque method of execution ever devised.

“...I HEREBY CONDEMN THEE. AND MAY THY DEATH BE AS ABOMINABLE AS THINE HEART.”

Join Edward Lee in his over-the-top modern-day tribute to classic horror scribe M.R. James, a novel of immemorial curses, demonic lust, and absolutely unmitigated evil.

Sounds great, I pre-ordered mine already too. With any luck it should get here just in time for my birthday in july.

Hope this is going to be released at a rodent-friendly price somewhere down the line - it sounds AWESOME

Ordered! (Of course.)

(By the way, Ed, I sent you a private message.)

Did this by any chance get punched up when it became clear Leisure wouldn't publish it? I ask because it sounds hardcore as fuck.

I already asked myself if this was the case.

Folks: it's not punched up, it's the same text as what I turned in for Leisure but it does have a hard edge and some grim sexual stuff. I haven't officially heard that Leisure will drop it, but if they do there will certainly be a cheap trade pb and Kindle, etc.

Thanks, all, for your interest!

Edward Lee
