Limited Edition of 250 signed and numbered copies

Note about the PC state of the numbered copy offered here, it was numbered 146, but there is a flaw on pages 135-150 in that the pages were cut at an angle so the text is at a slight angle so the number 146 was crossed out and PC written next to it. There is also a small closed tear to the bottom edge of the jacket.

Lettered Edition limited to 26 traycased signed and lettered copies and contains the short story "The Cadaver" tipped into the rear of the book along with a piece of art created for that story.  Note the copy we have listed, page 119/120 appears to have had something stuck to it, the pages before and after are fine, see pictures
