The novel that inspired WILLARD... 🐀🐀🐀 Numbered and Lettered editions of RATMAN'S NOTEBOOKS by Stephen Gilbert are now available for pre-order here: https://shop.suntup.press/collections/in-print-editions

The editions are signed by Kim Newman, who wrote the introduction; and Sophia Rapata, who created the illustrations.

For the cover of the Lettered edition of RATMAN'S NOTEBOOKS, we have chosen a handmade paper that mirrors the novel’s unsettling tone—chaotic, raw, and unpredictable. The paper is created through a botanical contact process using foraged plants, berries, metals, and other found materials gathered from the woods of northern New York. These elements are pressed into mouldmade Arches Text Wove paper and simmered in a pot of water, sometimes with vinegar, creating abstract, often violent patterns that can never be exactly replicated. The papers are created by artist Velma Bolyard in Canton, New York.

Numbered and Lettered edition of RATMAN'S NOTEBOOKS will be available for pre-order Saturday, July 19 at 9:00 am PT.
