    From an auction listing:

    The missing chapter from the Deluxe edition of Horns
    By Joe's own admission, The Surrealist's Glass was a confused and corrupt first draft of Horns, the best elements of which eventually finding their way into his excellent novel Horns
    This chapter was an exclusive extra, only found in the deluxe traycased copies of Horns - Unfortunately some of those copies were mistakenly printed without it - This chapbook was produced as a supplament, just for the copies it was missing from
    As there were only 200 numbered copies of the deluxe traycased edition produced, and not all deluxe copies were actually missing it, It's unlikely that there were more than 200 printed - In reality, probably far less
    A way cool collectable, which no copy of Horns should be without !
    Cover Art: Vincent Chong
    A true collectors edition, in fantastic condition
    Very scarce

    I think Joe will be doing a book tour in the UK once The Fireman has been released (I heard some rumours about this).

    This is the best info I was able to find re: Surrealist's Glass

    You were working on a novel called The Surrealist’s Glass. What happened to that?

    The Surrealist’s Glass and HORNS are very different novels (the biggest difference being that HORNS is good, and The Surrealist’s Glass wasn’t). Yet they had similar underlying concepts. In The Surrealist’s Glass, my hero wound up in possession of an unlikely lens; when he looked through it, he could see people’s secrets. In this way, they served a similar function to Ig’s horns. And several scenes in HORNS appeared in a cruder earlier form in Glass.

    So The Surrealist’s Glass will never be published?

    In one sense, no. In another sense, Glass was a confused, corrupt, first draft of HORNS; the best elements of Glass made it into print after all.

    I’d add that years and years ago I wrote an epic fantasy novel called THE FEAR TREE… and that also involved someone with a power to divine people’s most closely guarded secrets. I’ve been playing with the concept for a decade, but only finally got it right with HORNS. And if that sounds strange, all I can say is I think it’s pretty typical; writers tend to revisit the same themes, tropes, places, and concerns, again and again, until they figure out how to use them in a satisfying way. So, for example, many of the ideas in Locke & Key existed first in a pair of unpublished novels: The Briars and The Evil Kites of Dr. Lourdes (yes – that was the actual name). It just took a while for all the elements to gel.
    The signed traycased edition of Horns through PS Publishing offers “a little extra something” from you, Joe. Any hints?

    PS Publishing will be including a chapter from The Surrealist’s Glass, and a chapter from an earlier draft of HORNS, featuring a character who was dropped from the book. There will also be a brief introduction to the bonus materials, titled “Fucking Up.”

    Thanks Bev/wolfehr.

    I gather the chapbook is only about 7 pages long so that gels with the quote above that only one chapter was included in the signed, traycased edition.

    One's going for GBP£50 on ebay which feels a bit too high given its only a snaphost of the overall story.

    I'm with you on that! I'd like to do some sort of borrowing system for this if anyone gets one. I have no interest in keeping an ARC just read a pass along.

    The lettered was shipped by (and directly bought from) IDW; the regular limited via SubPress, Dan.
    Shouldn't be too long, I would think.

    Ok so my head hurts from searching the internet for this. I want a nice set of Joe Hill Locke and Key set. I know SP did the first 3, IDW did number 2 and random people did the rest. Is there a set that spans all the books or do you have to piece them together and which is the best ones for each book?

    SP made a lettered and limited edition of the first three. The first two they also made a nice hardback that wasn't signed. They discontinued at the third book with no plans to finish.

    IDW made a leatherbound of the first three volumes. They told me in the summer of 2014 that they planned on continuing with the release of one per summer. Since I haven't heard about the fourth, I can only assume they didn't continue. IDW also has made several other editions of the first volume. They made a signed traycased deluxe version of the first volume that came in something like eight different versions depending on what artist you wanted to use for the art. I have one of these last versions, it's pretty nice. Unfortunately, if you want a complete set of premium editions, you are probably out of luck.

    I was rather upset about SP stopping. It pretty much made the signed limiteds that I have near impossible to sell without a huge loss. I think the price point was probably the problem at $250 per issue.

    They have the unsigned version at CD. PS shipped these a few months ago. I ordered directly from PS and I think it arrived in November. Still waiting on the signed version.

    I did not receive the IDW newsletter either, Dan. I received a message from SubPress announcing the lettered NOS4A2 could be ordered. So I did and about 10 minutes later they were all gone.
    It could quite well be IDW still has a few for sale and will announce this in their newsletter. (Wishful thinking this???)

    I ordered mine from SubPress and paid SubPress as well.
    The lettered was ordered from, and paid to, IDW. But SubPress was the intermediary.

    I had seen several people receive theirs. I wrote Nicky this morning about it.

    Now that I see not everyone has received theirs I feel a bit better. I thought I was the only one.
