MISCHIEF by Douglas Clegg

Traycased Lettered Edition of 26 signed and lettered copies bound in leather with satin ribbon page marker and additional full-color artwork

Book is in perfect unread condition. This is letter “D” of 26

It’s the year 2000, and Jim Hook must stay in the rigorous prep school — the Bast — at any cost. He is a scholarship student, and his older brother — the angel of the family — had graduated from there before dying in a ski accident. His father had graduated from the Bast, too. Now Jim must, in many ways, take his brother’s place. Born into wealth, but growing up in genteel poverty, Jim has been living his family’s dream more than his own — but the Bast is the living symbol of his salvation. Still, he’s just been caught cheating on a test, and because of the strict honor code, Jim, a sophomore, now faces quick expulsion.

But that’s before the Cadaver Society gets to him — they vouch for his innocence, and in doing so, own his soul.

The Cadaver Society is a secret cadre of six students who manipulate, lie, cheat, and steal within the prep school to get ahead.

But at their core is the secret of a murder that occurred many years ago.

But even Jim doesn’t realize how special he is — that he is very different from the others. And when he is finally initiated into the Cadaver Society, he activates something within the school grounds…

Some Very Rare Bloodletting Press Lettered Editions Up For Auction

NEVERLAND by Douglas Clegg (Lettered Edition)

Beau Jackson and his cousin Sumter were only six when they first met. But even then, Beau recognized his cousin’s obsession with evil.
Every summer, Beau and Sumter vacation with their families on the dreary bluffs of Gull Island, and every year Beau watches as his cousin grows increasingly more powerful. But nothing prepares him for the terror that emerges when Sumter introduces him to Neverland, the place where grownups are forbidden and Sumter reigns supreme.

In Neverland, the boys and their sisters escape their parents’ authority, only to discover a nightmarish world of garish rituals, evil games, and ultimate bloodshed.

VESSELS by Kealan Patrick Burke (Lettered Edition)

A new novella by the author of “Turtle Boy” and “The Hides.”

On a remote island off the coast of Ireland, an unpiloted boat drifts ashore, watched by a man to whom the dead are something to be feared…

In a small stone chapel that stands hunkered against the vicious island winds, a woman whispers a frantic prayer to the gathering dark as something pale and dreadful scratches at the window.

A young girl in love races to the shore to meet her lover and finds something monstrous instead…

And in a confessional, a dead man waits to tell his sins…

A gunshot in a church in Los Angeles leads Tim Quinn halfway around the world and into a nightmare, for on Blackrock Island, he will find love, murder and madness, and discover an earth-shattering truth about the Curtain, and those who hide behind it.

One of only 26 leather bound lettered editions, in metal traycase with eyes that light up when the traycase is opened. This is a PC or Publisher’s copy. Rather than a letter on the signature sheet there is a “PC”
