It Sustains

Introduction by Sarah Pinborough

When Adam was 15, a terrible thing happened. So terrible that he and his father ran away in an attempt to put it behind them.

But the past is not so easy to shake off. And a new start does not necessarily mean a better start.

Who is the figure at the top of the stairs? Whose is the face in the mirror? What is the thing in the pond? And why does Adam often feel he is being followed, only for his pursuers to dissolve into shadow when he turns to confront them?

When Adam was 15, a terrible thing happened. So terrible that he believed it to be the worst thing of all. But he is about to find out that there are far worse things waiting out there....

It Sustains: the new and unforgettable short novel by Mark Morris, who Clive Barker calls “one of the finest horror writers at work today.” With an introduction by Sarah Pinborough and art by Edward Miller.

Limited to 500 numbered hardcovers; bound in cloth and Smyth sewn; signed by Mark Morris 

Lettered limited to 15 lettered hardcovers; book and traycase completely made by hand using the finest materials; signed by Mark Morris, Sarah Pinborough, and Edward Miller.  First, this is a beautiful book, bound in colored python skin (yes real python), the traycase bound in rich black cloth with the colored python skin along the spine, as pictured.  BUT also as pictured, there are what we would consider some issues with the binding.  The snakeskin's scales are peeling up.  I have included a number of pictures so you can see what we are talking about.  We reached out to Paul at Earthling and he said that they are all that way, we did find one on e-bay on 11/8/20 (priced for about 50% more than this one) and the pictures show the same "issue" so we have to assume this is the way it is supposed to be, but want everyone to know what is going on!
