I missed out on the Classic edition, too. Didn't realize it would sell out so fast!

I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

Re: the Classic edition:
I don't know how many times I have to say that cloth, but man, that cloth.
The power of Christmas compels you.
The book that I keep hoping that Paul will do is "The Man Who Fell to Earth." The old Bowie movie is flawed in some ways but an iconic portrayal. A close second is "Under the Skin."

November is clearly Hell House. December I'm guessing is something by Ania Ahlborn or Kealan Patrick Burke. No idea for the October story.

Could October be something from Noel Coward, given the "cowardly" clue. I'm not familiar enough with Coward's work to hazard a guess as to which work.Originally Posted by CyberGhostface
How about the Wizard of Oz? One article online notes “Cowardly Lion is the character that most closely represents Baum in the book.”Could October be something from Noel Coward, given the "cowardly" clue. I'm not familiar enough with Coward's work to hazard a guess as to which work.
That was also my first "cowardly" association, but Suntup's description of October's announcement as "chilling" seems to undercut that idea.

They've also said it's a short story (WoO is a short but still a novel) and if it was book like Oz it would most likely have an artist edition.

December is Ania Ahlborn
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
I also think it will be Ania Ahlborn in December, but do you have any reasoning behind your statement?
I think it will be Ania Ahlborn based on her output in recent years, her last two published books were both limited editions first, Suntup has published three limited editions of her works before, but since Ania Ahlborn has not published anything new in quite some time ( her last two books were very short, Palmetto and Dark Across the Bay, from thunderstorm and Earthling publications, and If You See Her from Suntup last year, which was a previously published novel)
Ania Ahlborn is due for a new book, having it debut as a Suntup book would be great!
My guesses for the fourth quarter are :
October - either The Yellow Wallpaper or The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
( Sleepy Hollow being a perfect fit for Halloween)
November is 100% Hell House
December something chilling from Ania Ahlborn
Lots of what you said but I also remember awhile back seeing something about her next book going limited. Mainly, she is due a book based on her releases.
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
Sleepy Hollow could be mighty cool, although I recall the actual Washington Irving work as more jaunty and fun than chilling. If it is SH, I will wear a giant frowny face since there is no artist edition (lettered and numbered being a bit out of my range).

If I remember correctly, Paul said he would do a new release of hers sometime down the road.

Back to the possibility of the October one being The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: Paul says this one will have "wood engravings printed from the original blocks," suggesting something old.

What about wizard of oz - looking through articles - the movie is nothing like the book. The book is "The Original 'Wizard of Oz' Books Are Shockingly Violent Compared To The Judy Garland Classic" - there are many deaths and dismemberments in the actual book
"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" was actually incredibly violent, with Dorothy and friends killing nearly 100 animals and people during their quest"
And of course the dark story behind the Tin man actually becoming the Tin man and hacking off various parts of his body
Also there were older s/l WOS books - that included many wood engravings...just saying
Wanted:
Gunslinger s/l #344
Drawing of The Three s/l #344

That seems like overkill. Her books are readable but would prefer something different.
Very cool (from a Suntup email this morning):

I’m leaning towards a Hemingway story - ‘The Short Happy Life of Francis Macombe’ could fit - though ‘The Killers’ or ‘The Snows of Kilimanjaro’ are probably more widely known.Sleepy Hollow could be mighty cool, although I recall the actual Washington Irving work as more jaunty and fun than chilling. If it is SH, I will wear a giant frowny face since there is no artist edition (lettered and numbered being a bit out of my range).
'chaos, mr. who, that is our mode and modus'
Is it wrong that I think the "If You See Her" Numbered looks as good as some of the lettered editions?
Agree on the "If you see her". Amazing
