First printing. Inscribed by author on title page to former owner. Book is as-new with dust jacket protected in mylar cover. Includes limited postcard that goes with this volume. No faults to book or dust jacket. "It’s Easter in Reading—a bad time for eggs—and no one can remember the last sunny day. Ovoid D-class nursery celebrity Humpty Stuyvesant Van Dumpty III, minor baronet, ex-convict, and former millionaire philanthropist, is found shattered to death beneath a wall in a shabby area of town. All the evidence points to his ex-wife, who has conveniently shot herself. But Detective Inspector Jack Spratt and his assistant Mary Mary remain unconvinced, a sentiment not shared with their superiors at the Reading Police Department, who are still smarting over their failure to convict the Three Pigs of murdering Mr. Wolff. Before long Jack and Mary find themselves grappling with a sinister plot involving cross-border money laundering, bullion smuggling, problems with beanstalks, titans seeking asylum, and the cut and thrust world of international chiropody. And on top of all that, the JellyMan is coming to town . . ."

Hodge, Brian Picking the Bones
Cemetery Dance Pub Forest Hill, MD 2011 1587672200 / 9781587672200 First - First printing Hardcover New new Hardcover Signed
Brand-new from publisher; signed on tipped-in signature page and limited to 750 copies. 17 new, dark stories from author Brian Hodge. From the publisher: "Dying is easy. Living is hard. Step back, back into the world of 1996... Dark fiction so numbing cold and cutting edge you better hold onto your ass with your free hand … There are no simple ‘entertainments' or cheap grabs for the throat to be found here. Hodge is deadly serious about presenting a world where the worst punishment is the mere fact that you are aware you will probably live to see another day.' So wrote critic Stanley Wiater about Brian Hodge's renowned first short fiction collection, The Convulsion Factory. Three collections later, nothing has changed. Well … maybe one or two trifling entertainments. A couple of cheap grabs for some body part or another. But that's about it. There are still plenty of fates worse than death."
