Okay, I’ve spent a glorious god knows how long a time immersed in this, hopping across to the embedded posts because I do what I’m told when I’m properly caffeinated.
Part two will be visited later today. I love a dangly carrot, especially when it’s dripping in human depravity, questionable justice, infinite possibilities and noir.
Fuck. I can see why y'all got so excited and let that energy carry the thing. I don't know if I've ever heard of a project with authors collaborating like this. This whole thing feels intoxicating
This is where I need to start to get my head in the game with the hotel. But later, because it’s my wife’s birthday and she deserves all the attention I can give her.
Thank you for the catch-up post. I love back story.
Go to Amazon, check prices for the Phineas Poe Trilogy omnibus, when you can find it it's expensive. The Viking hardcover of Kiss Me Judas is still selling through print run (I'm pretty sure) If you buy a copy buy either the Viking HC, or the Omnibus (If you have an extra 150-200 to spare for a decent copy. I had some decent change last year and one popped up on Amazon still in the plastic wrap, it's on my shelf, still in the plastic wrap, it has never been opened. It cost north of $200 bucks.
According to Chris these are the definitive print editions. The MacAdam Cage hardcovers are formatted wrong (white space on a page is important, squishing the book fucked up the aesthetic)
Now, finding the Warmed and Bound Velvet anthology took me months because I told Elle Nash about it when there was one copy for sale ON THE WHOLE INTERNET (Chris I don't think has a copy even if I remember his bookshelves. Yes, if I end up in your house and you're a writer, I'm looking at your bookshelves like a fuckin' creep.) and she immediately bought it (I shit you not) It was 4 MONTHS before another copy even hit Amazon, it just happened to be from a small hippie seller who had no idea what she was listing through Amazon and I snagged it for right over cover price (if I say otherwise in the post above, blame late night hyperbole)
Wow...thanks for the info...I'm no collector...no place to keep anything...I found a first edition of Flaubert's The Temptation Of Saint Anthony with original woodblock prints on the used book shelf at Strand Bookstore in NYC many moons ago..$3.99.. limited edition of 1500.. had never even been read..you .had to slice the accordian pages open with a razor...gave it to my best friend (may he rest in peace, AIDS got him during the first big wave) as a gift for turning me on to Flaubert in the first place..at the time the only way to get "The Temptation" was in a $400.00 boxed set... ...I remember him taking a hit off a roach and slicing open the next page...he was in heaven
This is the prelude, there was much more surrounding context than I expected. And I just, fucking abused screen clips and embedded "go read this" texts.

I have to read this when I’ve had more caffeine and on my laptop
