Release Date?

Post by Crow-453 » Thu Jan 20, 2011 2:49 pm

So, I've read all the spoilers (couldn't wait), and it's actually made me want to read it MORE. :)

So, I decided to try and find any indication as to when the release date of the english translation would be. And I found something interesting.

On JAL's Wikipedia page, it says that the release date is Jan 25th. And, since I think that the original Swedish version has already been released, this seems to me to be a possible release date for the english translation. And, while that would be fantastic, I do have my doubts about the authenticity. For starters, there's no source beside it. It also seems VERY soon after the Swedish release.

Can anyone confirm or deny this for me, please? I'd be very grateful.

Sorry pal, they're talking about the original edition which is already out. LTODD will be included in the English edition of Paper Walls, out in a few months.

Paper Walls has the epilogue to Handling the Undead - called The Final Handling - in it, it has alwasy been there. And from what we've heard, it will also have the story Let The Old Dreams Die - taken from the story collection Let The Old Dreams Die - in its English version. Complicated? :D
