I've seen some posts on social media with the Penguin alongside something else, as a guide to scale. But people have been asking how big the penguin is, as there's nothing to compare it to. This may help.

Looking for Mister Slaughter S/L #78
Does that have anything to do with reproduction?
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Paul, congratulations on this latest endeavor. It will be another gorgeous production for a classic.
I also want to say thank you for letting Misery owners retain their rights to future King editions. IF there are any I know more than just myself on here appreciates it.
There is only 1 lettered edition of Hill House still available if anyone was on the fence. Also, the numbered edition is 80% sold out.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
I'm thrilled that I was able to get the numbered this time around. Looks absolutely stunning. Any word on the order numbers that indicate who will receive the planchettes? Or when Ari can expect to get his gold key?
I was in another forum and noted that Hill House would have sold out faster if the Misery owners would have lost their rights to future King editions by passing on this non-King book. So Paul chose to take care of the collectors instead of having a faster sell-out and I think that's a stand-up thing to do.
Interestingly, on the same day that Suntup's edition of Jackson's "Hill House" goes on sale- so does Centipede's: http://www.centipedepress.com/horror...hillhouse.html
*correction: NOT on sale yet, just pre-listed.
Both editions are well designed. Based upon the historical relevance and influence THOHH had on SK and 'Salem's Lot I am tempted by both but the reality is I don't even own a reading copy of the book so I can't justify the expense. Good luck to Jared and Paul as they are first class individuals and publishers.
Jerad has my everlasting respect. He has been an inspiration to me in several ways, and as we know, he has been at this a whole lot longer than I have. For me, he is a pioneer and visionary in this field. We both have different styles, and ways of doing things, but his books are pure class and he’s just a great guy.
I could not resist. I ordered one also. I am looking forward to the end of the year.
Paul, P.S Check your PM Please
We need more emerging writers in the genre.
"Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes they win." - SK
WTB:
- S/L 'Storm Front' Jim Butcher (Subterranean Press)
- S/L 'Fool Moon' Jim Butcher (Subterranean Press)
I think that's true. It seems horror has gone much darker/gorier or it's YA.
As far as an emerging writer's appeal--I don't know that a newbie can command the prices that high-quality publishers like Suntup need to produce editions with fine materials and at such low print runs. Even buzzy authors with proven appeal can't sell out modestly priced limited editions. Consider Josh Malerman's Bird Box at Dark Regions Press. There are still over 300 copies available out of a 500 print run and that book was announced a long time ago. So I don't know if an emerging author can move expensive editions.
I feel unworthy ... I've never heard of Shirley Jackson or The Haunting of Hill House, had to google it.
WANT LIST: Any SK #186; Dark Man Unbound 1st Proof; FDNS Unbound 1st Proof; FDNS Black Tape Spine Proof; FDNS Unbound Color Proof
