The story "The Bluff".

Set in Oswego, NY and based on a true story The Bluff is the first book by Joseph Gunther, well-known photographer and travel writer.
Adult readers will be moved to tears by the story and illustrations in this Gothic horror tale. Children will be enthralled by the spectral tale. 

Review:
Arlene Spizman, owner of The Comic Shop says; "I was impressed when I saw the book. It's a beautifully illustrated story that fits right in with our graphic novels, children's books and comics. Telling a story through sequential art is obviously what illustrated books are all about and The Bluff does that in its own unique way." Sue Sabiston's beautiful watercolors add depth to the story.


"Nightfall"
by
Joseph Gunther 93'

Midnight wind is were I dwell,
With riders lost in a storms spell.
Trusting neither regions of the land,
While fires of night burn in their hands.
Groping, grasping, pleading voices,
Ask questions, but make different choices.
I alone remain vigilant within their presence,
with secrets revealed in all there essence,

(You will find the rest of the poem in, "The Bluff")


NOTE: "Book lovers who have purchased an autograph copy of "The Bluff" stated that since there was only a limited number of these books printed that after they are sold out, the value of them will rise between 40 to 50 dollars because they are 1st Editions! So they are making an investment in their future...!"


Another review:

Bill Reilly, the owner of"rivers end bookstore" in Oswego, NY say's:
"The Bluff is timeless, it will always be enjoyed over and over again by people who read it!"

Also for the Halloween theme literacy night at the Minetto, Elementary School, in Oswego, NY. Bill Reilly completely enthralled the over 300 hundred students, parents, and teachers as he read from two of his favorite children's books. "The Bluff" just happened to be one of them...!

Another review:

This one from a ten year old girl who loves the story and has her own copy of "The Bluff", paid the author the ultimate compliment, quote: "Every time I read it, it gets creepier and creepier!"

This book is different from other illustrated children's books.There are ten illustrated water-color paintings between its covers. It took Susan Sabiston two-and-half years to do all of the water-color illustrations in this book.  Which means (on average) it took Sue three months to complete one water-color painting for the book. So the book itself is a work of art!

Since only a limited number of these books were printed each one will become a collectors item - increasing in value as time goes by!
Plus! If you purchase a copy of "The Bluff", both, the author and the illustrator will personally autograph your copy! Which will increase its value even more!
