Bill Schafer @ subpress just e-mailed to say that the previously sold-out print-run of the limited edition of Alabaster has now been extended from 250 to 350 copies. So, there's an extra hundred available as of this afternoon. Just click here to order. I wouldn't tarry, though, as the limited's already quickly sold out once and will likely do so again. Thanks to everyone who took the time to comment. And remember, if you ordered the trade edition because the limited was sold out, you'll be allowed to upgrade your order to the limited.

I just had a moment of vertigo where I was no longer certain about whether I had ordered the limited. Good thing too, since it turns out I hadn't. So, now I have and I can explain my previous certainty in terms of a future echo.

Great news about the limited edition of the Dancy collection!

I have a quick unrelated question (per usual). Recently I've been thinking about what exactly it was Narcissa Snow took from the yellow house on Benefit Street. A fellow reader and I have discussed it a bit on the species of one community but we're both under the impression that it was never explicitly spelled out. I assumed it was some maps of the necropolis and some magical texts but I love how you constanly make the reader second guess what we think we just witnessed in your stories, I LOVE that about your work.

Well, on p. 3 (Roc edition), Narcissa gives Miss Josephine a manilla envelope containing a videotape and maps of necropoleis in CT, RI, and MA. The videotape, I believe, was a copy of one she'd made of things the ghouls obviously wouldn't want seen by those Above, by mortal men. I was playing a bit on the photo from "Pickman's Model" here, I suppose, thogh it only now occurs to me that I was, that the videotape was a 20th/21st Century equivalent of the photograph in HPL's story. Does that help?

Brilliant! Yes that helps immensely. I knew it was something along those lines but I was reading into too much I guess. When she was handing the envelope back to Miss Josephine I assumed it was something she had borrowed, but looking at it now I guess she was giving up the items only to keep them (or copies of them) as blackmail? Is that right?

IMO more mellow and cheerful then the previous ones and a total joy.
Keep up the good work:-)
