Read 2 times. Last read September 1, 2018 to September 3, 2018.

The cover and interior illustrations are by John Coulthart, accompanied by a newly commissioned soundtrack by Jon Mueller. Not stopping there, Alan Moore contributed a new introduction, while Iain Sinclair is looking after the afterword. Everyone who participated in this project has a passion for Hodgson’s cosmic masterwork. As an added bonus, the book will be fully signed by all contributors.

The book is signed by:

John Coulthart
Iain Sinclair
Alan Moore
with a facsimile signature by William Hope Hodgson

The accompanying CD is signed by Jon Mueller

The package is also accompanied by several postcards and the whole package is wonderfully and strikingly produced.

Kristy Sounds like an awesome package and I would love it. There is just one problem; you don't review the book. I would've really liked to know what you thought of it, since I'm trying to decide whether to but the lowly Kindle version.
Then again, the fact that this many interesting people put effort into bringing this edition(?) out does definitely say something about the book.
Get out the strawberries and cream for my waffle, haha. Damn, now I'm hungry.
