Cool, good to know. Already preordered the SST version and the 1st/1st.
I would love to have both the DRP editions of Cabin and Survivor Song. I have both Off Season and Malorie coming from them. And the other two Tremblay books coming from SST. So I've spread it out as much as I can.
Reading Cabin now and loving it. I think Tremblay is fantastic.
Cabin is my favorite so far. Finishing Disappearance in the next couple days.
I was late to the game and missed out on sst head full of ghosts. Does anyone have a copy they are willing to sell?
Just finished the SST edition of Cabin and I absolutely loved it. Reading Tremblay's thoughts and insights into the process of writing the book is also a huge treat. I love additional content like that. I'm moving Disappearance at Devil's Rock higher up my TBR pile. I'm becoming a big Tremblay fan!
I loved the ending. For me it was like the ending of Head Full of Ghosts. Allowing the reader to make the call. Tremblay addresses it in the notes in the SST edition.

Sadly my SST version is still in transit. Since March 21 :( SST said they will ship another if it doesn't show soon.
I loved the ending to Cabin. It's actually one of my favorite endings to a book ever. What did he say about it in that edition? When I saw him last year I told him how much I enjoyed the ending to that book and he thanked me because he said most people hated it :lol:
Well, I'm sure I need to plop it in a spoiler but first I need to put a whole bunch of words in front of that spoiler box because sometimes, in the preview state, text in the hidden spoiler box can appear and people see things they might not want to see. Anyway:
Spoiler: 04-29-2020 12:28 PMswintekYeah, I liked the ending a lot myself. The book, too. I hadn't read Tremblay's comments about it yet until you posted that spoiler above, Jeff, but they strike me as smart and insightful, and treating the reader in the same way. 04-29-2020 12:59 PMjeffingoff 04-29-2020 02:15 PMAremag 04-30-2020 06:08 AMHeather19Quote:Thanks! And I completely agree. I think it's more about the journey than about the end. Also I've always been a fan of endings such as that. I feel like they can be so much more powerful, especially when executed properly. 04-30-2020 06:23 AMjeffingoffQuote:Have you read The Road? It doesn't necessarily have an ambiguous ending, but it leaves a lot for the reader to think about. Then again, I guess no stories are ever really completely finished. I'm rambling.
But getting back to this book: as I was reading Cabin, I was hoping it would end like the short storySpoiler:but I'm glad it didn't. I think it ended perfectly. 04-30-2020 06:31 AMHeather19I have read The Road, but it's been awhile. My favorite ending to a book ever is The Long Walk, it's just perfect. Cabin kind of captured that same feeling for me.Spoiler:
And I'll definitely seek out that short story. Thanks for the recommendation. 04-30-2020 06:32 AMjeffingoffQuote:Been meaning to re-read The Long Walk. It's been decades. I'm hoping Suntup does an edition . . . 04-30-2020 10:25 AMswintekSame and SAME to those last two statements! 06-27-2020 08:30 PMGenericEricJust saw the update on SST saying Growing Things is done and are now shipping them out.
I've read a couple of the short stories in that collection and liked them so I'm looking forward to the rest of the collection. Especially since Daniele Serra is doing the artwork once again.
Also, I've been hearing good things about Survivor Song. I'm debating waiting to read it until I get the SST edition or just buying the trade edition and reading it then. 06-28-2020 05:37 AMGarrellExciting news 07-24-2020 12:22 PMGenericEricFinally received Growing Things today!
Beautiful editions from SST as always. Love Daniele Serra's art as well. Heard a lot of great things about this short story collection.

I don't think I am, but I thought I'd ask. I haven't seen any news about either yet. I know DRP announced Cabin last June, but I there hasn't been anything since I think. 07-24-2020 03:35 PMjeffingoff 07-24-2020 03:44 PMGenericEricOkay good. I think that's a good policy to have. So you don't have money tied up in something that could be years away....
