Hoping I don’t offend by being too forward, but… I had “The Reach of Children” recommended as a highly disturbing read at a panel I was attending at WorldCon, and when I went looking I found, as you said, that it’s sold out. Would you consider parting with one of the ARCs you mention in your above comment, if you still have any?

Love and coffee,
Frances

I’m afraid not Steve … I do have a few copies, but because it’s so rare I’m keeping hold of them. However, the novella WILL be released in an as-yet unannounced collection sometime in 2011. Long time to wait, I know …

Actually, I do have a few ARCs of the book, I’d be happy to send one of those …

Tim, I just stumbled across this book, it sound extremely fascinating – are there any of the original Humdrumming editions left? Best, Steve

I just read the email you sent out last November 22… (so much email, so little time!)

Anyway, have you and plans on releasing an eBook edition? Kindle reader here!

This is a great read; it’s easily one of my favorite works by Tim.

This book has got to be one of the best ones I’ve read. Honestly, the writing is so carefully crafted that each word is like one tiny dot on a canvas by Georges-Pierre Seurat. Each bit hasn’t much seeming importance when viewed on its own, but the whole has such an effect on one when the piece is finished and viewed as a whole.

This is not good horror writing, or fine genre fiction, or an excellent story about a child; it is simply damned great writing which anyone needs to read in order to be entertained, as well as receive a lesson in ‘how to tell a tale well’.

No matter where you are, or who you are, buy a copy of this and get one for your mother. She’ll thank you later.

Glenn, do me a favour and drop me an email (address in the CONTACT page). You’ll definitely get a copy, but emailing me will put you into the ‘system’! Thanks!
