SLATED FOR A DEC '08 RELEASE. UP FOR PRE-ORDER VERY SOON. INTRODUCED BY NORMAN PARTRIDGE. ILLUSTRATED BY ALEX MCVEY. LIMITED TO 300 SOFT COVERS & 26 LETTERED HARDBACKS. SYNOPSIS Cryer once had another name, but he can't remember it. The man he used to be was stabbed in the head by an assailant. After months of catatonia Cryer awakens in a mental facility to find that his former life is almost completely forgotten. He knows his wife and daughter have been murdered - he saw them die moments before his own assault - but his shattered mind is incapable of retaining their names. Or even his own. Now Cryer is free again and trying to track down an elusive killer through his own unknown past. But how do you investigate the murders of your loved ones when you can't remember them? When you have no idea who your friends or enemies were? Where you lived and worked? And what secrets you might have once had and failed to keep? And how is he supposed to deal with the little man who keeps crawling in and out of his skull? Cryer is a nobody now, but that won't stop him from finding a vicious murderer and making him pay. REVIEWS THE NOBODY is a dangerous exploration into the mind and soul of man. Piccirilli’s beautiful prose allows us to take a peek into the abyss of our consciousness and shine a light into those places that warmth has long ago forgot. You cannot read this book and not be changed. Larry Roberts - Bloodletting Press Clichés: can't live with 'em but, as I discovered when I read this remarkable novella, you can't live without 'em. Part vigilante procedural, part hard-boiled PI yarn and part examination-of-post-loss-survival weepie, THE NOBODY is Tom Piccirilli at his uncompromising best. The dialogue is so crisp it's like Leonard on speed, and the second and third pages are the literary equivalent of being hit in the face with a shovel. A roller-coaster ride? You bet. A page-turner, even? Yep, no question. A palpable atmosphere, larger-than-life characterisation and impeccable plotting? They're all there. Like I said - clichés: can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em. Peter Crowther - PS Publishing A revenge tale almost Mythic in its simplicity. Shocking, tragic, beautifully written, insightful and nuanced, mournful and uplifting - everything we've come to expect from Tom Piccirilli, done to perfection. From its brutal opening scene to its heartfelt final pages, The Nobody is Pic at his finest. RJ Sevin - Creeping Hemlock Press |

With the reduced number of softcovers down to 180 this does mean the alternate covers will be limited to 90 copies of each. Pre-order now! Also, release date has now been pushed back to Feb 14th '09. Steve |

Happy to report that I have paid for my lettered and a copy of each cover variant soft cover. I know Steve is busy packing and shipping so I don't want to steal his thunder, but these are in his hands now. Looking forward to adding another Tasmaniac release to the collection, and a Pic story, no less. |

Books look SWEET! Very happy in how they turned out. As Leigh said, I've been busy processing orders so those that have already paid will receive their copies very soon  I'll be interested in hearing your thoughts on Pic's dark tale. Steve. |

Cover 1 (TUB) is proving to be a popular choice with only 30 copies remaining! Great result. Steve. |

I won't comment on my will, but I will comment on the spectacular job done with this book! The package was waiting for me at home and damn, that lettered looks nice. The binding of this is awesome; nice soft leather with a very striking look (I'll let those getting these experience the look for themselves). Both variant of cover art bound into the book, a surprise on the (back of the) signature sheet. You've done well, Steve! You said you wanted to improve with each book and I think it is obvious you are achieving that. Roll on the next Tasmaniac release! |

Hope I'm not ruining anyone wanting a surprise here, but I couldn't help it. It just looks so damn beautiful.   I have a couple of other photos, but I won't totally wreck it for everyone who is anxiously awaiting their copy
