Suntup Editions to Publish Signed Limited Edition of Joe Hill’s HORNS
Suntup Editions, publisher of fine limited edition books and art prints, is delighted to announce the upcoming publication of Horns. A 2010 dark fantasy novel, Horns was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award and in 2013, the novel was adapted into a film starring Daniel Radcliffe.
Joe Hill has written a new introduction exclusively for this fine press limited edition. “I am so pleased to be doing an edition of Horns by Suntup Editions,” says Hill. “Their books are remarkable.”
This is the first North American signed limited edition of Horns, and it is presented in three states: An Artist Gift edition, a Numbered edition, and a Lettered edition. All three measure 6” x 9” and feature twelve full-color illustrations by Magdalena Kaczan. The Numbered and Lettered editions are signed by Joe Hill and Magdalena Kaczan, and all editions include a new introduction by Joe Hill.

The book is printed offset and is housed in a custom printed slipcase.

The Numbered edition is limited to 265 copies, the first 250 of which are for sale and numbered in black. The remaining 15 copies are numbered in red and reserved for private distribution. It is a Bradel binding with Japanese cloth boards, and a genuine snakeskin spine. The edition is printed letterpress on Mohawk Superfine paper and is housed in a custom two-piece die-cut enclosure.
Lettered Edition:
The lettered edition is limited to 26 copies for sale, lettered A-Z in Morse code and printed letterpress on Rives cotton paper. It is quarter bound in leather with crushed silk boards. A 14-karatt gold cross is inset into the cover, with the chain of the cross foil stamped in gold. The edition features three custom pitchfork-shaped bands across the leather spine and gilded page edges. The book is housed in a handmade rough-sawn pine box with a black velvet-lined bookbed, and designed to resemble the underside of a treehouse with a trapdoor opening. Included with the Lettered edition of Horns is a 12-page hand-stitched booklet featuring Merrin’s letter to Ig, presented in Morse code. The front cover is hand-lettered and printed letterpress on Hahnemühle Bugra paper with French flaps.
Horns will mark Suntup’s fourth publication. “Between Stephen King, Joe Hill, and Shirley Jackson, we truly have the Holy Trinity,” says Paul Suntup, owner and founder of Suntup Editions. “It’s the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost!”
The mission of the press is to publish finely crafted limited editions, by collaborating with some of today’s leading writers, artists, designers, printers and bookmakers to create an edition that is itself, an art object. By incorporating elements of the story into the design and production of the books, and enclosures, their editions offer a unique reading experience.
Publication is scheduled for Summer 2019 and will be available for pre-order HERE on Sunday, September 30, 2018.
