[who did it] Obsidian Press; March, 1998 (signed limited-edition hardcover; 350 copies & a 26 copy traycased deluxe edition signed in the authors' own blood).

[chance of gettin'] The deluxe editions are attainable, but usually around $200. You can get a signed PC hardcover from The Official Edward Lee Bookstore.

[the skinny] Lee’s only novel-length collaboration with John Pelan, a quirky horror “abstraction” set in Seattle. You probably won’t want to visit the place after reading this. Poet on the psycho skids meets metamorphosing pre-human-race nemeses. Lees takes full blame for the bad poetry. Broken hearts and spirited eviscerations, the second novel appearance of Lee’s existential-whacko police detective Jack Cordesman (from INCUBI) and the aforementioned Professor Fredrick, pathological bums drown crackwhores in poop, and a deal with someone worse than the devil. Oh, and a lot of shit about art. There’s an introduction by Lee’s close friend Jack Ketchum, who also signs along with L.A. cover artist GAK.
