For anyone interested, I am selling my copy of Total Abuse.

TerminusTDMG

Hey everyone. After an incredibly long delay, it's finally done: my podcast episode on Parasite, completing the trilogy of episodes on Total Abuse. It'll distribute to all the podcast platforms over the next few hours and I'm getting a Youtube upload now, but here's the original link for those interested.

Thanks as always for listening, and I hope you all enjoy.

Forgot to update: the YouTube version of the Parasite piece is up now.

Well, this is both great and terrible news, as I pre-ordered Kee MacFarlane directly from NBB some years back and the cunt didn't provide me with the book, or a refund, and subsequently ignored numerous polite e-mails requesting a solution. If anybody in the UK decides to buy this at some point, I'm happy to pay you a little extra for snagging another copy and sending it my way.

This one's $95, too.

Has anyone been able to grab on archive.org the scan of the Timeless fanzine before it got deleted? If so, and if you'd be willing to share it, please send me a PM!

Yeah. Not really sure I understand Sotos' thinking here. I've heard of flying under the radar, but publishing 50 or so copies...?

(From what I can gather from Mikkos post he wanted to fly under the radar, like)

The site says 300 copies?

And also a really solid plan to limit 1 per customer and price it to $95. Everyone knows Sotos' books don't get reprints and end up being rare and they are very sought after. What's the point of selling a limited edition book for 23 dollars, when it inevitably just sells out, and after that they go 100-200 dollars a pop in the aftermarket or more?

No, but I'd wager that most of the exclusive contents to that first edition are online in one form or another and have been available to get for years at this point (interviews, Slayer press release, Index script, the abridged text of P.S. etc). The guy behind that subreddit/account has a link elsewhere to a Proton Drive of "The Complete Works of Peter Sotos" (hardly!) so the full thing might get shared there eventually if you ask them. I'm still after a hard copy of that edition by the way, ideally for a reasonable price.

I had a cursory look at their Tumblr and AO3 a little while back actually (I didn't want to linger for very long in either troubled community space, thank you very much), and whilst they had a good stab at formatting the aforementioned P.S. text, it also cut off early for some reason. Even then, if they were using the first two of the four part Waitress pdfs that are out there, they're still missing a page or two that the original scanner forgot to include...
