Snuff Release

[deldaisy]

Oh SO confident.... I had collected for twenty five years.... I had a library... I mean a REAL library... and then two rooms downstairs.... I have seen bookshops with less And I had read them all......

Moving house one time.... all in boxes ... waiting for the mover... and we got a flash flood that went through the lower garage the night before where the boxes were....

Poor Del

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Bummer.

Noooooo!

 

[deldaisy]

It gets MUCH worse...

I managed to save what I could save (while the movers were arriving and needing to move stuff).

A year later ..... and I had the remains in a library I set up in a downstairs room (half of under the house was double garage and half was living area.. a granny flat type of thing we didn't LIVE in but used).

I left the EX (do you ever wonder WHY he's the ex?) in charge of the garage sale we were having for a hour or so while I went to make lunch for us and the kids.....

and when I went back down... (I had to walk through the library to get to the garage) and found most of the shelves bare.... and the EX at the sale selling my books for 20 cents a copy. The original Galaxy mags? $2 a bunch..... and people walking out with their arms filled to busting.

........... ....... . . ... . .
my goodness...

 

[Doughnut Jimmy]

[The Mad Collector]

Ouch, that must have really hurt Del

Snuff

According to the writer of the best selling crime novel ever to have been published in the city of Ankh-Morpork, it is a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman taking a holiday would barely have had time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse.

And Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is on holiday in the pleasant and innocent countryside, but not for him a mere body in the wardrobe, but many, many bodies and an ancient crime more terrible than murder.

He is out of his jurisdiction, out of his depth, out of bacon sandwiches, occasionally snookered and occasionally out of his mind, but not out of guile. Where there is a crime there must be a finding, there must be a chase and there must be a punishment.

They say that in the end all sins are forgiven.

But not quite all…

Published 13th October 2011

Who to? God?
It's already been sold to the Devil. :twisted:

 

[Teppic]

Interesting, sounds like Thud! in some ways; Vimes getting caught up in ancient crimes and rivalries beyond his remit.

Many, many bodies....sounds a bit like all the golems at the end of Making Money, but of course they're not buried in the countryside, so I'm sure that's just a trigger going off in my head more than any possible guess at the plot.

Looking forward to this.

 

[poohcarrot]

It's all about goblins!

[Penfold]

It's all about goblins!

Did you know that there is already a book called "Snuff" by an author named Chuck Palahniuk which is about a porn star. I really hope Sir Terry is not doing a parody of this one!

Incidentally, since the write-ups are also of an adult nature, with some sexually explicit content, I haven't supplied any links to the reviews, etc

 

[Broccolee]

Porn goblins? OOOOeer.....

 

[poohcarrot]

Goblin - Gobbling

 

[Beyond Birthday]

I'm just curious about how Ankh-Morpork will look since they discovered that

Its a country house murder mystery! PTerry has written a country house murder mystery! (Well, Kind of......)

Vimes is no Poirot or Lord Peter Wimsey, though.
