The Taking

A freak weather phenomenon on a global level
Silver rain Purple fog
This is either a real big rock show
or the world as we knew it just took a dive
This is Molly Sloan's story
This could be her book

With this publication Charnel House reaches a new benchmark of quality. The exotic material imported for this edition coupled with the fine printing of custom fonts and a highly original Charnel House design make this very small edition of only 300 numbered books a rare gem in any collection.

Exquisitely printed on Mohawk Ultrafelt.
Each copy is hand signed by the author.

Limited to 300 Numbered Copies---Bound in Neon-Tsumugi silk and slipcased in Purple Mohair imported from Japan for this edition and sold out pre-publication

We have one copy (#101) which is bumped on the side as pictured.  Looking at the book and slipcase from the front it is not noticable, but as you can see from the picture from the spine the slipcase is bent in a little and the book as a very slight crease.

Lettered limited to 26 specially bound and traycased copies with a piece of J.K. Potter art in the front of the traycase.  Hardbound in natural undyed Moroccan leather with sand-writing stamped on the front board and Fabriano Roma endleaves. The handmade traycase is bound in Japanese Neon-Tsumugi silk with inlaid artwork by J. K. Potter commissioned exclusively for this lettered edition.

Originally the Charnel House lettered edition was described to be “Hand bound in full Morocco leather with a preserved short-stemmed rose encased within the front board.” However, during production this was changed and the book was released as described above. The colophon in the book lists the original description while an enclosed letter provided the revised description.

The “sand-writing” on the front cover of the Charnel House lettered edition is the text written into beach sand by the main character Molly on page 336 (trade hardcover edition).
