THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

I imagine the crowdfunding will run for a few months. If 100% isn't reached, the inevitable is that all the pledgers get their money back and there's no book.
If 100% is reached, there will be a print run in excess of the number of pledgers.
My apologies, I was sending a cryptic message to Lee and wasn't expecting other people to mis-interpret it before he's had a chance to read my posting...

Last two days of the "Back December" offer: A copy of the first edition hardback at a special price, plus the ebook.
"I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas" is still live, although officially expired on 25 December. Two hardback books so you can give one to a friend, and keep one for yourself plus the ebook.
hmmm i reckon theres some elements involved for which we shouldnt stand.

"when i was the only living person to understand the concept of black i one day created gothic rock from my own farts...."

I for one haven't read anything by Mark Andrews except for his wonderful and remarkable articles in The Quietus ...
so I gather, there are opinions and interests actively counteracting this release?

There's no mystery behind the 44%. That's as far as we got with Phase 1, which was focussed on FB Groups and HL. There will be a Phase 2 of crowdfunding starting shortly, so we'll see if we can get the book over the line. I hope so, but if it doesn't fund, it doesn't fund.

It was only a question, no account of what you were saying or what problems you might have or not. Nothing to do with you at all.
Only a general question. Because I wonder ... sorry for that. It just won't switch off ...
@MA Andrews,
ah, ok. Thank you for the explanation. And good progress ...
Heartlanders who haven't pledged should do so now-ish. The book is at 48% funded. There will be a review meeting with Unbound at the end of February to see if this thing is viable.
This Sticky has had nearly 10,000 views. If 7% resulted in Pledges, the book would happen.
And a Volume 2. If this first one funds, Unbound have said they would very likely pick up the option of a second.
