A: "Bram...stoke 'er!"

Here's where I'd add "that's what she said," but...that is what she said.

That's nothing;

Q: What did the frustrated English teacher say to the third grader who lived in Bran castle up on the mountain who just could not figure out how many apples there were in the basket on her desk?

A: "Count, Dracula!"

[Stockerlone]

NICE Steve, but.... your amazing IT/ES background is a huge distraction.

Thanks Frank!

The Gallery Books August 2022 trade paperback edition of BILLY SUMMERS, with a 'feel me' cover and an excerpt from FAIRY TALE, not one copy of which was found in the highly illegal and completely unconstitutional raid of a former president's home at Mar-a-Lago:

Scully: "Mulder, I don't feel too good about this!"
Mulder: "Scully! Just look at that orange skin! That almost fanatical concern for the American people, their way of life, their social and economic welfare, their freedoms and rights! It's f******g obvious he's a human/alien hybrid!"
Scully: "I guess you're right. Freeze asshole! Open that closet, right now!

Bought a cheap 8X10 frame, put my Hard Case Crime cover proofs in it, and hung it on the side of my Robert Bloch bookcase under the extra signed tipsheet by Bloch for THE SELECTED STORIES OF ROBERT BLOCH VOLUMES ONE TO THREE and my letter from Stephen King to Chuck Miller of December 19, 1986, signed 'Steve'.

You're slippin', Steve. I only see one copy of Fairy Tale.

More on the way!
I'm only sorry no proof or limited has come my way, but one can't have everything!

Here's a lousy picture of the FAIRY TALE broadside:

FAIRY TALE 1st UK hardcover (not counting any proofs, of course):



Arrived with front and back cover folds from The Book Depository as if it was caught on something while being pulled out of a box.

Oh where oh where can Joseph Tully be?
I'd ask Robby but he can't answer me,
Because his battery is dead, you see.

I thought I did read broadsite last week or so, but then David at Betts mentionned posters and two sizes
So i guess there were indeed broadside and posters?

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

There's a poster???

Great, now I need a poster, an SDCC pin, a limited UK proof and a limited signed edition to complete my set.

Should be no problem as soon as I find that buried pirate's treasure chest full of doubloons in my back yard!

From David at Betts :

A Poster Story: Word from Stephenking.com was that certain independent retailers would have an "extra" poster to go with King's new book "Fairy Tale". There were only 5 retailers in CT (where I live) that were supposed to get the poster. One of these retailers (30 minutes away) also was part of the "In the Tall Grass" signed chapbook (they had none). I called right when they opened and woman was in late and opening the box, could she call me back....she called 20 minutes later to say she had 1 single poster and it was mine if I could get there by end of day. I arrived and she was crestfallen and said to me "You are going to resell this." I said NO, it is for my personal collection. That made her feel a lot better. She had had at least 5 calls asking for this item already. THIS IS NOT FOR SALE, but since so many collectors do not know what it looks like, here it is. It is 17" by 9.5".

And indeed, the picture looks slightly different than yours, eg the top part :

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Thanks for the picture, Jeremy.
I'll start looking for one, you never know!

Another Centipede Press volume adorns my humble shelves:

Here's a lousy picture of the FAIRY TALE broadside:

I've never seen one like that; I expected bigger, but plainer, without those delicious gold touches etc. - this is very nice.

I've contacted the bookstore I got it from to see if they have a poster, but I'm not expecting them to.
On the bright side, I just bought a ZZ Top poster for RAW which I've hung on my wall!

It's more a large card than a broadside, IMHO.

I really like it though. The gold foil is raised. It's very nice actually.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Yeah, I was expecting something larger, too.

Hmmm, now where have I heard that before?
