 Hello everybody, E here. This is my first video back since my mother passed away on Tuesday. I'm not exactly sure when I'm going to upload this video, but I need to get back on the horse. I'm putting this at the beginning of this video because I want to ask you guys a favor. Most of you have expressed, well I don't know about most of you, but many of you, hundreds of you have expressed your sincere condolences, given me your prayers, your thoughts, your positive vibes, and I appreciate you. I love you, but this comment section, I don't feel like I'm prepared for a whole other thread of condolences. If you want to express your condolences, I have posts on Twitter. I have a post up on the community channel here on YouTube. Please put those posts there. I would much rather, and I promise you, my mother, would much rather that we carry on. Because of that, I'm going to start with something positive, something that I have been waiting on forever. Let's get to the drop. Hello everybody. E here. I got a package. It finally came, and we're going to get into it. We're going to do this. Finally, we're going to break out the table afterwards. You see the title down there. You know what this is, so I am going to do my best to talk about this book and not break up. You guys probably watched the intro. You understand why, but this book is about the fleeting nature of life. It is about a long life going by very, very quickly. It is in my top five of Stephen King's work. Oh wow. I said you already know what it is. You read the title. Okay. Revival by Stephen King. This is from Letterhead Press, I believe. I'm going to get this plastic off of it, and then you guys will be able to look at the book right here, and then we're going to go over to the table like I've done with all the rest of the stuff. You've got to be super careful with this stuff. If I'm not looking at the camera, that's why I don't want to cut up the book. So I'm taking this, taking the plastic off. This is the ... I love that it looks like a Bible, especially given its contents. That's a oolah. I don't think it's much bigger than the actual trade ... Where are you? There you are. No, actually it's actually smaller, but it's like Bible size. It's just a little bit smaller. I think it's supposed to be about the same size, but I think the boards are bigger on the first edition trade hardcover. So this is the front of the book. This is the front of the book, and I'm guessing that's Charlie Jacobs, is that his name? I know the main character's name is Jamie, I remember that, and then here's the back. This feels really good, it feels really nice, nice, I can't talk, and it looks like there is either a lot of pictures or a lot of chapter sections, so we are going to go through this. That's a lot of work, anyways, so let's go ahead and get to the table. So here we are at the table, I got the book, let me get this straightened up, I had it ready to go. One of the cool things about this is just like a Bible, it has the string in it, the place marker, bookmark, what do you want to call it, nice satin ribbon, beautiful, I'll put that down, straighten it up, and as we open it, it's got wonderful end papers, as you can see, hands and lightning, and before we go any farther, I just want to let you know that there will be spoilers in these pictures, I will be talking about spoilers, so if you haven't read Stephen King's revival, what is wrong with you, go ahead and go do that, stop the video right now, go do that. So this is the signature page, it has Bev, no, yeah it does have Bev Vincent, I don't know why I started at the bottom, but Josh Boone, Vincent Chong, Francois Valencourt, I think that's how you pronounce it, if not then I apologize, and then Bev Vincent. This special edition of revival is limited to 1,500 signed copies. Title card, who's a fan of dead meat, leave your comment down in the doobly-doo. The dedication page, and pretty much everything else is going to be the same, so let's go through here and get to the pictures. Here's a very cool image of a church being struck by lightning, and I've already stressed the spine, so those of you worried about that, not stretched, stressed, the way you're supposed to read a hard cover, you're supposed to open up kind of like a bird and just let it flop a little bit. This is when Charlie Jacobs' son dies, the son and his wife, I think that might, I'm not sure if that's the son or the wife, but yeah it happens in a car accident, and then one of my favorite pictures in here is from the chapter including the terrible sermon, it's just Jacobs in an empty church, or it's seemingly empty, which is I think a great image with a lot of heavy metaphor there. Make sure some of these pages look like this and they're dark, so I'm having to go through and make sure I don't pass up any pictures thinking they're chapters. This is a scene I don't actually remember as a rod being struck by lightning, oh yeah, and there we have another reason why I like this book so much, it deals with drug addiction. This is Jamie and his heroin addiction, fantastic, fantastic picture, fantastic piece of art, I'd love to have that up on my wall, she'll might know I like it, but I'd love to have it. This is cool, it's got him wearing headphones and the electricity going through them, there's Jamie playing his guitar, what was the name of his band, Chrome Roses, something like that, I need to reread this soon, especially after my mom's passing, she never got to read this book, she kind of gave up on King, she thought he was a dirty old man after reading Bag of Bones, so she stopped after that one, unfortunately. There's the Tent Revival, there's a revival, the titleist novel, there's several different ways it can be taken, which is one of my favorite parts about it, I love titles with many different meanings, then you have, yeah that's lightning, I don't know why I thought I was powder there for a second, I'm looking at the viewfinder, and I thought I was powder, just look at the picture, dingus, anyways, so this is that Tent Revival on a bridge, that is an amazing picture, we're getting some screen glare, that truly is a fantastic colored picture, for some odd reason it reminds me of the dark tower, probably because of the Grant Reissue hard covers, oh wow, oh wow, that is very ominous, man, that's amazing, I like that, I'd like to add that up on the wall too, again, Shell probably wouldn't, but I sure as hell would, hold up, I didn't miss anything, The Dying Woman, if you've read the book it's a very very important picture, oh yes, the door, all the trees, the limbs and roots and everything growing over it, again I'm getting some hardcore dark tower vibes, I'm so bad at keeping these things square, in frame, whatever you want to call it, oh yes, and this one, man, this is my, the ending of this book is one of my favorite Stephen King endings of all time, it just left me, it knocked the breath out of me, if you see, it's like ant legs, sorry to flip you all off, there's ant legs coming out of the mouth, gnarly, and don't those teeth look familiar, don't those teeth look familiar, I'm just kidding y'all, I don't know that any of this stuff, if you meant any of this stuff to tie into other books, I mean some of it feels like it does, like Pet Cemetery, oh, oh, hold up, hold up, we got ourselves a big picture, and this is a huge spoiler for the actual, oh yeah, okay, we're gonna have to go down, this is a huge spoiler for the end of the book, the desolated hellscape, that's amazing, what else we got here, Stephen King, the Rolling Stone interview, I don't know if that's the one where he called it the, one of the darkest books he's ever written, I will go through it when I reread it, I'll be rereading this edition, it was cheap enough that I don't mind reading it, that is amazing, so you have all these colors here, that's obviously dark tower, then this thing feels very mid-world too, so, I don't know man, Thursday Therese needs to return doesn't it, I think it does, but that is the book, this is the final page, looks like a concept art of the page we just saw, add something behind bed, I don't know, it says, paper ceases, looks like it says, cremating from star kids, I don't think that's what it says, and then we have the beautiful end papers again, I wanna give, if I do not, I will flash it up on the screen if I cannot find this, I know François Valencourt is the artist, but is Josh Boone and Vincent Chong also the artist, I'm not sure if it says in here, let me check the copyright page, here we go, revival concept art is by Vincent Chong, a nasty dark piece of work, revival historical context was written by Ben Vincent, all the little ants were marching, is written by Josh Boone, yeah that's probably all the, yeah that's all that, Josh Boone wrote all the little ants were marching, that's the introduction, sorry, that's the introduction, then the book from page 15-501, and then Ben Vincent wrote a nasty dark piece of work, that's actually a king quote, a nasty dark piece of work, he said much the same thing about pet cemetery, he said he didn't know why anyone would want to read something like that, and then the Stephen King, the Rolling Stone interview, the horror master looks back on his four decade career by Andy Green, and then revival concept art by Vincent Chong, so that is the absolutely amazing revival limited edition from letter head press, I am going to find my favorite picture in here, and that is where I am going to put this, so my favorite picture in here is of Jacobs in a church alone with a stained glass hitting him like that, it's a fantastic piece of art, personally I do like the, I would put on my wall, I wouldn't put this on my wall, too much religious iconography for me, but I would put the heroine, the arm with the shooting up, I would put that on my wall, and the one of the creepy looking Charlie Jacobs, so that's everything, thank you guys for joining me, I had, I'm not sure I had fun doing this, but I know it's going to help me have something to look at, to kind of take my mind off of it, I think I'll start rereading it tonight, actually, so until next time, I have been a, you have been a, this has been another Stephen King unboxing, limited edition, I'll talk to you guys later, bye bye.
