[chance of gettin'] Not too difficult to find.

[the skinny] Limited-edition hardcover. 1000 signed copies were printed, plus 52 deluxe tray-cased copies with a stunning color illustration by Erik Wilson as the frontice piece. Another of Lee’s book-length delvings out of the horror genre. Originally a screenplay, THE STICKMEN is a high-tech, breakneck conspiracy thriller that focuses on a reported UFO crash near Nellis Air Force Base in April;, 1962. “Obviously, Roswell marks the most famous of the so-called ‘crash’ sites,” Lee states, “and it’s the one that has the most people believing it credible. To UFO-philes, the Nellis crash is probably the second-most credible.” Lee creates a rag-tag character, Harlan Garrett–a down-on-his-luck tabloid writer–to re-open the Nellis Case in grand style. X-FILES lovers will enjoy Lee’s brand of dead-alien intrigue. PUBLISHERS WEEKLY called THE STICKMEN, “exhilarating, a hyperventilating adventure,” and like DAHMER’S NOT DEAD and OPERATOR “B,” this book is evidence that Lee can excel beyond the horror genre when he wants to. Several outlines exist that continue the Garrett character, but Lee doubts that he will ever have time to write them. It’s no secret that Lee’s a “conspiracy” buff, but does he actually believe that UFO’s exist? “After three or four beers–sure!”
