Oh, alright. He’s not MY Temple. A woman can dream though, right? Right.<\/p>\n

From the BigBorgBossDude:<\/em><\/p>\n

Description<\/h7><\/p>\n

A man awakens in a filthy bedroom with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. Seeing an old Gideon bible on a nightstand, he finds a name to call his own – Temple. This is the story of Temple’s quest for identity and purpose in a dying, decaying world.<\/p>\n

By turns heartbreaking, enlightening, and surreal, British fantasist Steven Savile has created a story that T.M. Wright describes as “a story about Death written by a man who has clearly consorted with devils.”<\/p>\n

This novella comprises the four part Temple series published in Apex Digest issues five through eight, with a special introduction from T.M. Wright and an Afterword from the author.<\/p>\n

Only 100 hardcovers will be produced, each numbered, and signed by Steven Savile, T.M. Wright, and cover\/interior artist Judi Davidson. This version will only be available through preordering from the Apex Shopping Mall or from Shocklines.com. An unsigned, unlimited trade
\npaperback version will also be available.<\/p>\n

Publication date for both will be April 30th. Preorders open March 17th and end April 17th.

Dark beauty, black hope, achingly relentless are phrases that come to
\nmind when I think of Steven Savile’s Temple: Incarnations. This is
\nwriting that gets under your skin and worms into your brain, leaving
\nscars from the memory of a world too real, too close to forget. With
\nphantom ash in my lungs and a fist crushing my heart, Temple has made
\nme a very happy Savile fan.<\/em>
\n–Fran Friel, Bram Stoker Nominated Author of Mama’s Boy<\/p>\n

Here’s the truth: we, all of us, are the “wandering dispossessed,” and
\nSavile knows it. You may be reading this little book in a comfortable
\nroom, in a comfortable house, in a comforting city, within an
\napparently comforting and secure civilization, but all of us know (or
\nwe wouldn’t be reading this book) that all of that matters little, if
\nat all, that circumstances not just beyond our control, but, more
\nimportantly, beyond our ken, will doubtless change everything,
\neverything, and we will see ourselves for what we really are:
\nwandering (without real focus; because where do we focus?),
\ndispossessed, and in imminent danger of becoming one with the abundant
\ndead.<\/em>
\n–T.M. Wright, author of A Manhattan Ghost Story<\/p>\n

This story has all the ingredients of a classic….<\/em>
