Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
2019 marks the 40th Anniversary of Straub's Ghost Story. I think that would make a terrific contender to receive the Royal Suntup treatment!Originally Posted by Merlin1958
Well, of course King would take precedence. My suggestion was assuming that he wasn't an option presently. Also, I kinda figured if another King book was in the offing the deal was already done and King may be driving the selections anyway. I just figured, Jaws was a great book, Benchley is still alive (?) and, Paul might be able to seek a deal relatively easy. Of course, and I'm unfamiliar with other authors S/L or special editions, but McCammon or Straub might be viable authors with very marketable editions to track down for a deal. Probably nothing I or others suggest will have any impact on,Suntup's next publications anyway. I'm sure, Paul has projects lined up in advance, but it's fun to speculate anyway.Aw c'mon ya'll! Jaws? Dracula?
We need a Needful Things or Different Seasons or Pet Sematary next
I really do hope there's another King at some point but in the meantime Congratulations on another sell out! They are beautiful books.
Dracula is an awesome book, but I think its been done before several times. The Exorcist as well now that I think about it. Not that, Paul wouldn't surpass any previous editions efforts. FWIW, I don't recall "Shadowland" a having a S/L being done, but that doesn't mean one wasn't for all I know. I'd go doe a, Suntup offering of "Shadowland" as I always enjoyed that book by, Straub. Just my solely opinion and thoughts for all they're worth.
One of Richard Bachman's Parker novels would be cool (although they are very short). Not really in the same genre, but Westlake certainly inspired King.

Well darnit. Now that the secret is out...

Big time.

You should do the white pages, and include King’s area code.
This would make a good charity auction.
May God bless and keep you, Bill (I have been beating the drum for someone to produce a new Shadowland for some time - among my favorite horror novels, it is second only to It).
FYI, Gsuntlet Press did a 15th anniversary edition of Shadowland in 1995. Not to be critical, but (from what I’ve seen of it) it didn’t do much for me and I would love for CD or Suntup to take a crack at it.

LOL And here I thought I was the only person that liked that book!!!!!! Welcome to the fan club, or am I joining your already established one? lol lolMay God bless and keep you, Bill (I have been beating the drum for someone to produce a new Shadowland for some time - among my favorite horror novels, it is second only to It).

To T-Dogz, yes I love "Ghost Story" as well. They killed it in film though. lol Timing would seem to be perfect for this then. Paul, would no doubt hit it out of the park!!!!
I'd rather have The Yellow Pages then Lisey's Story.

LOL Good one!!!! I'd have to agree.
Peter Straub’s books would surely deserve the Suntup magic. I recently read If You Could See Me Now and enjoyed the hell out of it.

Straub's Mystery doesn't have an S/L as far as I know. I would love to see one. Or even all three Blue Rose books, if the rights could be had.
I have the Gauntlet Press Shadowland S/L, and I quite like it.

Centipedes has done a limited of that and two more Straub books. Be ready to sell body parts to acquire one.
I think the fan club is just you, me, and my brother-in-law (we need to do some recruiting).
I quite liked it when I read it, but it has been many years (maybe more than 10) since I've read it and I've forgotten the finer points and am due a re-read; to that end, I recently bought an old GS hardcover (for just under $4) and will hit it soon.
I really need to read some more Straub. Aside from GS and Shadowland, I've only read Julia (a very early one of his, and which struck me as a simpler version of something that would have worked for me but in the end didn't), Floating Dragon (which I didn't like to put it mildly, but more importantly is interesting for how many things it has in common with It), Lost Boy Lost Girl, In The Night Room (these two were connected and were fine), and A Dark Matter (which was better than LBLG and ITNR, but not up there with GS and Shadowland for me). [Of course, I've read his collaborations with King].
Eastasia has always taught college students to feel pride or shame according to their race.
Here's a list of characteristics of Straub's Floating Dragon, which will look mighty familiar to anyone who's read It (and take the spoiler tags seriously; if you plan to read FD and haven't, don't look here!):
Spoiler:
...now, having noted all of that, FD is a very different book from It, and not just because I love one and dislike the other; these are very different casts and plots.
And FYI, FD came out first, for any who might wonder.

One author I'd suggest is John Ajvide Lindqvist (Let the Right One In being the obvious choice but I'd also recommend Little Star). There haven't been any limiteds of any of his work to the best of my knowledge.

Ok well if we’re just shouting suggestions at Paul, then I’d like to formally request Red Dragon, as Lecter is my spirit animal and I don’t believe any fancy editions have ever been done. Probably not a popular suggestion but nonetheless...
Also informal request for Psycho, as the book itself has a rather interesting story to go along with the actual story
Oh wait, 2nd informal request for a Limited Series Covers Collection for Thomas Harris’s first 2 or 3 Hannibal books
I would love to see a S/L of Hannibal, that is one of my all time favorite books
Looking for:
- Philtrum Press Eyes of the Dragon RED #165
- Fine Viking Eyes of the Dragon proof
I would love to see a S/L of Hannibal, that is one of my all time favorite books
Preach brother. I love that book. Doesn’t get nearly the love that it deservesI would love to see a S/L of Hannibal, that is one of my all time favorite books
I've never read a Thomas Harris book I didn't want to end.

Blasphemy! How dare you not share our opinion. Luckily for you he’s only got like 5 books so your suffering has at least been minimal. Also Dr Lecter considers double negatives to be rude, so chances are you guys are just incompatible
