About This Item
Burton: Subterranean Press, 2020. First edition. First Printing. Hardcover. As new/as new. 321pp. 8vo. Cloth over boards, gilt on spine. Signed by the author on a special limitation page, this being #136 of 500 numbered copies. Book is a stated First Edition and consists of 18 stories. Book is unread, unmarked, unclipped ($50), tight, bright, clean, straight, and Brodart-protected. Gift quality. From Publishers Weekly (Starred Review):
"Set in and around colleges and universities, the 17 new stories and one reprint in this top-notch anthology explore the forbidding side of academia. Among the standouts are David Morrell's devious ‘Requiem for a Homecoming,' in which two alumni cast suspicion on each other while debating a 20-year-old murder... Creepy oddities include Owen King's tale of heroism, ‘That Golden Way,' A.J. Hartley's supernatural ‘Rounded with a Sleep,' and Jane Hamilton's superlative ‘Writing Maeve Dubinsky,' about the appropriation of another person's work."
From Booklist (Starred Review):
"David Morrell's ‘Requiem for a Homecoming' uses a conversation between two alums about the fatal stabbing of a female student 20 years before to set up a wallop of a reveal. Other highlights include Reed Farrel Coleman's ‘An Even Three,' which stars a bitter and possibly homicidal professor, and Ian Rankin's ‘The Reasoners,' which showcases an eerie secret society.".
