Yesterday I received a square, gold-leaf box about 4-5 inches wide embossed with:

THE TOMB
The First Repairman Jack Novel
New York Times bestselling author
F. PAUL
WILSON

Inside is a bifold brochure touting the special $3.99 “author’s preferred text edition” of THE TOMB due in August. It includes an except from the novel about the tainted chocolates Kusum has left for his next victim. And beneath that, a quartet of chocolate squares (two milk, two dark), each embossed with THE TOMB and my name.

Now, I gotta ask you: How cool is that? These boxes will be going out to booksellers all over the country to induce them to order lots and lots of copies of THE TOMB bargain edition, which will in turn addict more readers to Repairman Jack. MWAHAHAHAHAHA! (Sorry)

And the chocolate is good too.

There's no elixir in it????

Seriously, that is really cool. You should post a pic of it if you can.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Don't worry about him. I guess he's now saying "I believe I've been Kama Sutraed".

That's the power of chocolate! :p Big Grin
