I’m rereading Nineteen Eighty-Four, and like every previous time I’ve read it - only a handful of times over the past 30 years or so - it’s even better than I remember. Orwell had such a clear, complex, uncompromising vision of his dystopia. So horrible yet so familiar.
For those that haven’t seen it, I’d recommend the 1984 film adaptation, starring John Hurt ... AFTER reading the novel. It’s excellent - almost perfect.

Thanks for the reminder! I decided to go for two of my favorites - The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands, and Four Past Midnight.
I had bought The Stand a while back, so now I need to get all three prints framed. All three have similar color palettes, so I'll try to get complementary matching frames.
I know there's been a ton of editions done for Edgar Allan Poe's complete works, but I wouldn't mind seeing a Suntup edition of his work.

Was a little confused when I got an email title "Oskar's Cube Shipping - have you moved" since I didn't order any of the LTROI books.
Looks like it is actually for Exorcist Artist. - YAY! First Suntup book in awhile since I jumped off the train.
Wanted:
'Salem's Lot Portfolio #606
Fairy Tale UK S/L
Just don't forget to tuck and roll on impact.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

I keep all the boxes from Suntup, and my current storage has just about hit the saturation point. My next step will be to relocate the AE boxes to the garage attic, and keep the numbered boxes inside as long as space permits.
As part of this process, I've been going through the AE boxes and removing any bookmarks. Per a suggestion on the Fans of Suntup Facebook page, I'm keeping them in the book, between the inner dust jacket flap and the dust jacket protector.
I wanted to check to see if what I found on bookmarks is correct. All AEs, that have shipped so far, came with one bookmark. The exceptions are Red Dragon and Fahrenheit 451, which came with two bookmarks, and Misery, which did not include a bookmark. Is that correct?

What was the guess for this weeks release? You folks all seem to be right on with your guesses to this point! So, who will it be this month?

Since all copies will be signed by the author (including artist) I think people were thinking Joe Hill.
I'd love another Joe Hill book, even if it only contains one new novella, but would he illustrate it as well? I know he's done a lot of graphic novels, but I thought he writes/co-writes those and they are illustrated by someone else?Since all copies will be signed by the author (including artist) I think people were thinking Joe Hill.
He's written four collections, if you count A Little Silver Book of Sharp Shiny Slivers, and all four have been done in limited editions. Do you think he would pull stories from these for a new collection? Or does he have three novellas that have been published individually?

I'm still sticking with Kealan Patrick Burke. I know he's not a huge name like a lot of Suntup releases, but I'd be happy with that choice.

I would be happy with either one, but KPB getting Suntup treatment would be really nice. I’ve been a fan of his for a long time and I don’t think he gets the notice that others get.

I knew the mention of KPB would bring a response from you MLG, ha! Yeah, Kin is amazing, I love KPB and if you don't follow him on Twitter, he is hilarious and has helped me through many days of this pandemic.
He is also a very good graphic designer that has designed many of his own trade covers along with some other author's covers as well.
I do love Mr. Burkes story telling. His collection The Number 121 to Pennsylvania has some amazing short stories as well. I do follow him on Twitter and have even stumbled on an Instagram Live he was doing one night.
I would love a Suntup release of some of his work. With that said, I do not expect it this week. He has put so much into the completion of his next novel I do not expect he has an unpublished novel available at this point. Would be happy to be wrong though.
Yeah, got that one but CD had already done Kin and I was just spitballing ideas.
SubPress had already done TSotL so I'm thinking anything is possible.
Should also mention I'm on a lot of pain meds right now plus antibiotics, going tomorrow for possible dental surgery or at least a consultation if they can't get it numbed enough. So anything I say right now probably won't make much sense. Though most might say it never makes sense in the first place but I digress.
My Suntup wish list is:
"The Man Who Fell to Earth" - Walter Trevis
"Under the Skin" - Michel Faber
"1Q84" - Haruki Murakami
