    For anyone interested, I've posted pics of the gorgeous Numbered edition of Horns in my collection thread.

    I just picked up my numbered copy from the post office. What can I say that hasn't been said already? I don't think I could have kicked off my Joe Hill collection in finer fashion.

    I'll have to think long and hard about whether I dare read this edition. Despite what Paul said, the scales on the spine (especially along the edges) feel awfully fragile and I'd hate to damage it somehow.

    Congrats! That is a helluva way to start out your Hill collection.

    I read Joe's new intro from the limited as it'll be awhile before my AGE arrives and loved it! It's beautiful and candid.

    Got my Horns today. Man is it a fantastic book. The quality is top notch all around. Congrats Paul on another slam dunk winner. I am looking forward to reading it. May not be right away, but I will read it.

    Thanks Alan. What's even funnier than me getting a day earlier is you, who lives across the ocean, got it before me.
    I am just playin. I am glad we both got it. It is a really nice production. As I said before, I am so glad I jumped in with HHH.

    I just took a look at the original prospectus for Horns. The final design for the enclosure looks so much better than the original mock-up. Fantastic work all around, Mr Suntup!

    On another note, I spent longer than I'm willing to admit sniffing the leather and the paper.

    I also noticed the book smelled really nice...nose kidding!

    Yeah I was looking at my book more closely and I couldn’t help wondering if the book was supposed to be this awesome or is it just mine? Anyone else notice this about theirs? Every time I take it out of the slipcase it strikes me. It’s impossible not to see it. I mean, I’m not complaining! I’m extremely happy with my numbered edition but I just can’t help feeling that my copy is just somehow more awesome than others I’ve seen. Maybe because I’m holding it and huffing it with the limits of my olfactory senses. But it’s really rather distracting. I find myself checking it for this condition repeatedly.

    What was different about it? I can’t remember what it used to like.

    The book arrived in the Netherlands as well - yay! And what can I say - I can only join the chorus, shout-out my hallelujah's and bow down to book-publishing greatness. Without a doubt, Paul, one of the most gorgeous editions I've even seen. Don't know how you do it, but please, never stop publishing!
    On a personal note - dreaming of the day you'll be announcing either a Suntup or a Dragon Rebound Different Seasons! Please make this happen!!

    Just finished reading ‘Brother’. Tempted to get the LE although I’ve never gone above gift edition prices before. It is a very nice looking book.

    In a world full of trolling I particularly like this thread because it's a cavalcade of praise. It's just fun to see good vibes. I think we need to add a "Paul Suntup is a god" emoji.
    Alright, we'll call it a draw.

    I just finished it and I’d give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars. Maybe even 4.5. It’s dark and tense and a bit claustrophobic. The blood serves the story instead of having the story as an excuse to deliver blood. I was worried based on other reviews that this was “torture porn” and after reading it that’s laughable. I have no idea why people would react that way. So if that’s a concern for anyone it shouldn’t be. OFF SEASON and the sequel OFFSPRING by Ketchum were far more brutal.

    This is a fantastic read and it’s brilliantly done. I can see why Paul picked it. And I have a much greater appreciation for that artwork after reading it. I think this edition will be among my most favorites.

    Great summary, Jeff. I would add that while some of the characters are extreme, they are made believable.

    So I have had a quick look at the book. What can I say that already has not been said. It's magnificent. I need more time to look it over though, but I am very glad I made the choice to get this one.
    It was worth the wait Paul.

    It’s pretty good but it’s hard for me to go into specifics without spoilers. It’s kind of like a Texas Chainsaw Massacre film told from the perspective of the family. It gets pretty grisly but not overtly so. It’s not as graphic as something like Off Season but it feels like something Jack Ketchum would have written. It’s a very dark novel. It kind of reminded me of a famous film in some spots but saying what film it might give a few things away.
