Special signed, limited hard cover edition of Vin Suprynowicz’s new novel The Black Arrow. These copies apparently are going fast. I have not read the book, but the blurb promises “a tale of sex and violence: freedom and fertility; rebellion and revenge. With lots of rock ‘n roll.” The cover on the paperback harkens back to the pulp days, as does this excerpt:
In the dark of the city’s night, wherever the weak or oppressed cry out in pain or fear, a quiet footfall is heard on the roof, the owlshadow passeth before the moon. The twang of the bow, the quiet gasp of feathered death … the Black Arrow lives.
Hardcover publication date is February, 2005, and the mass market paperback follows in April.
