Rough Cut
The limited signed hardcover edition from Bad Moon Books.  Artwork by John Everson.
The amazing Chris Hedges of Hedges Bindery created this one-of-a-kind handbound edition of the first two handwritten drafts of ROUGH CUT with seven lethal knives secured to the cover.  Readers who pre-ordered the limited signed hardcover were entered into a drawing to win this mega-deluxe monstrosity.
Original handwritten manuscript pages   More stitches than Frankenstein's monster  Notebook paper interior        Yes, those are real throwing daggers  Read with caution, avoid slicing fingers  Belongs on everybody's bookshelf -- but there's only one       Chicago Blues     Limited edition hardback by Bleak House Books signed by the anthology's writers, includes a DVD of author interviews.
The limited editions of KILLER'S DIARY and ROUGH CUT are sold out but copies can sometimes be found on ebay. Check here.
