Suntup Editions

[Munnecom]

I’m the opposite: one edition per book.

When I bought Amaranthine Books’ Scholomance Edition of Dracula, the Centipede Press version had to go (as Lotuz knows ). That’s why I hope Paul never does Dracula.

For one, there are many fine press editions of it. I can name eleven off the top of my head. For two, I have a lot of money invested in the AB edition and I don’t want to “have to” get rid of it again.

You don't happen to have a spare Centipede Press Dracula do you?

[Munnecom]

No, sorry. Lotuz had expressed interest when I posted my pictures in the CP thread, so when AB announced theirs and I wanted to make a quick sale, I went to him first.

Well, of the 61 views I've had so far, there's at least one person who disagrees with you. But thank you!

Obviously they were that one person who was offended when you said 'guys'.

Wow - so many vampire books out there... very curious what this could be! I don't get if there's a significance to the two red lines, that might be the only clue as to which particular book it could be, but that reference (if it is one) is over my head.

My hopes are 'Salem's Lot (highly unlikely), Lost Souls (Poppy Z. Brite is long overdue for an ultra-fancy edition), or I Am Legend (a favorite of mine, and also due an ultra-fancy edition).

Anne Rice is an obvious choice, and I would hesitate to say Dracula just because it has lots of fine editions because it's in the public domain, but I'd still be interested to see Paul's take on it. Let the Right One In was big and well-received, and would be another good one to draw more new customers into the Suntup fold.


There are just so, so many options...


Also, what an awesome way to tease it! Feels like a special treat for everyone who enjoys Jeff's videos, and an extra special treat to the man himself! Very, very cool.

Let the Right One In would be cool.


Just out of legitimate curiosity, why do you hope for Salem's Lot?

I love the book and we all agree Suntup could make a fantastic version, but...why?
We already have 2 editions from Centipede Press, 3 from Cemetery Dance and 1 from PS publishing(not sure if they did a lettered too).

6 limited editions of one book, 4 in the last few years, already seems like overkill to me. (Maybe that's why I barely collect anymore).

PS did a Lettered variant and it was different from the limited in that it's a single volume rather than three.

Dan Simmons Maybe? That be awesome!

Are you thinking Children of the Night, Kris? Or Carrion Comfort? Either would be pretty great.

I was talking to Nick and he thought Children of the Night and after reading up on it... I think it could be. It is one I have not read though. I also was hopeful for Wayward Pines but I don’t think they are vamps... so not sure. I still need to read Carrion too.. is that a good read brother?

Carrion Comfort is a fine read. A bit on the long side, but epic and has quite an original premise, I think. It’s a vampire novel of a different kind.

Children of the Night is a more conventional vampire novel, but still with an interesting twist. Second-tier Simmons, I would say, but still worth your time.

great video Jeff! Perhaps it's a reference to Needful Things and it's the piece from Noah's boat? That would be cewl

Seems to be too small to be a wooden stake. I think the Needful Things guess is a pretty good one. Crossing my fingers.

On the king Facebook group they are convinced it’s needful things. Haha

If it is, that would be incredible. Looking forward to the announcement, regardless. I hope it’s an edition available to numbered edition holders.

I don't think so.

[Brian861]

Us non-King trackers will be sweating bullets if it is a King release.

[The Library Policeman]

Can’t see it being Needful Things unfortunately.

"...the splinter labelled Petrified Wood From The Holy Land caught her attention at once, and she did not object when Mr. Gaunt took it from its case and dropped it in her hand."

[Ben Mears]

...I do see the edition that Centipede Press did as a "definitive version", as in "a unique and interesting treatment and if the book never got another S/L I would be happy with this one."
However, I'm just totally enamored with a good small-press treatment of books I love, and Suntup is right on the forefront of that. So to me it matters less that there have been 1 or 5 or 10 prior versions of the book, and more that it is a book I like and that I think Paul could provide a worthy take on.

Agree 100%. That said I can't see Paul wasting a proposal "bullet" pitching 'Salem's Lot when there are so many other deserving SK titles available.

"...the splinter labelled Petrified Wood From The Holy Land caught her attention at once, and she did not object when Mr. Gaunt took it from its case and dropped it in her hand."

My guess is that Paul is making us guess vampire. And maybe this book has nothing to do with vampires. I’d be over the moon if it were Needful Things. But based on that passage I doubt this is it. There’s blood on this piece of wood. It’s been plunged into something that bleeds.

Agreed. I thought for sure that Sally Ratcliffe stabbed her rival, Judy Libby, in the eye with the splinter and scoured the book looking for the reference but it was nowhere to be found. Clearly I misremembered.

I haven't read that once since it was first published. All I remember is the name Leland Gaunt and a plump woman's sex fantasy about Elvis(?) And basically the whole town implodes much like Haven.

The way SK portrays the town reminds me of 'Salem's Lot but on a grander scale. It's a good story and there are a lot of creative design opportunities that Paul could incorporate. Needful Things has the potential to be a unique and entertaining limited edition.
