This new edition has some special characteristics:

#1 – The color of the font used in the title and in the Rhys Hughes name is red. Thus not only the title stands out from the rest of the cover but will also prove to be an omen of one of the peculiarities of the golem Twisthorn Bellow.

#2 – On the contents page we now have a drawing of Twisthorn Bellow and of his favorite weapon, Kpinga.

#3 – Both editions are dedicated to Jessica Poper and Philip José Farmer. The new edition have one more quote by Friedrich Nietzsche and the warning text is signed by the author; in the previous edition this doesn’t occur.

#4 – In the edition of 2010 there is the word Finis. The new edition don’t have the word Finis; instead it displays a drawing of the Kpinga.

#5 – In the new edition there is a list and a explanation of the monsters that fight Twisthorn Bellow. The back cover displays some real photos of the monsters.

#6 – In the new edition the bulleted lists are made with a smile 🙂
