Compilation of RJ short stories? Y knot? - Biggles - 05-09-2004 This is mainly a question for FPW and the collectors among us. We know that Paul has released two previous collections of short stories ("Soft and Others" and "The Barrens and Others") and is in process of releasing another ("Aftershock and Others"). We also know that he has previously compiled related stories together in "The Lanague Chronicles", "Dydeetown World", "The Tery", and "Midnight Mass". So why not compile all of the Repairman Jack stories which are not part of the novels, in chronological order with appropriate introductory notes, into a compilation? I would like to see a Gauntlet Press limited signed edition, followed by a hard cover and paperback editions. This would seem to be the perfect time to release such a book, in advance of the movie.

Y knot? - fpw - 05-09-2004 I can think of only two that aren't in print: "The Long Way Home" and "The Wringer" (and the latter will be included in AFTERSHOCK & OTHERS). Pretty slim book.

I have both of those, but I would still pony up the cash to buy a limited edition containing all of the RJ short stories, whether they are already in other collections or not. Any idea how many pages they all would add up to? Compilation of RJ short stories?

Y knot? - fpw - 05-10-2004 I made a quick count: 5 stories, 55,000 words. A slim volume, but not ridiculously so. The only problem is "The Long Way Home" which I'd like somewhere along the way to incorporate into a portion of a novel. Compilation of RJ short stories?

Well, it's not like we wouldn't buy the novel, too, when it came out... Compilation of RJ short stories? Y knot? - Tim Hatch - 05-10-2004 Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:I'd buy it too.
