    Is Lemony Snicket planning any new books?

    Question #83675. Asked by AlchemyGirl. (Jul 22 07 11:50 PM)

    Presumaly not--as this is to be found on his website:

    Dear Reader,

    You are presumably looking at the back of this book, or the end of the end. The end of the end is the best place to begin the end, because if you read the end from the beginning of the beginning of the end to the end of the end of the end, you will arrive at the end of the end of your rope.

    This book is the last in A Series of Unfortunate Events, and even if you braved the previous twelve volumes, you probably can't stand such unpleasantries as a fearsome storm, a suspicious beverage, a herd of wild sheep, an enormous bird cage, and a truly haunting secret about the Baudelaire parents.

    It has been my solemn occupation to complete the history of the Baudelaire orphans, and at last I am finished. You likely have some other occupation, so if I were you I would drop this book at once, so the end does not finish you.

    With all due respect,

    AC: You've said that you will only write 13 Lemony Snicket novels, but obviously with the success of these books, your publisher would not be opposed if you said you're writing more. Do you plan to write more than 13 Lemony Snicket books, or is there a plan for a different series?

    LS: I would like to keep writing for both children and adults. I've always said there would only be 13 books. That was always pretty clear. I think if I said, hey there's going to be 20 after all, I'm sure that they would let me do it. But there hasn't been any pressure to do it.

    The series includes thirteen main books as follow:

    * The Bad Beginning
    * The Reptile Room
    * The Wide Window
    * The Miserable Mill
    * The Austere Academy
    * The Ersatz Elevator
    * The Vile Village
    * The Hostile Hospital
    * The Carnivorous Carnival
    * The Slippery Slope
    * The Grim Grotto
    * The Penultimate Peril
    * The End

    There are books that accompany the series, such as The Beatrice Letters, Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography and The Puzzling Puzzles, blank books The Blank Book and The Notorious Notations, and short materials such as The Dismal Dinner and 13 Shocking Secrets You'll Wish You Never Knew About Lemony Snicket. A planned paperback release of the full series, featuring restyled covers, new illustrations and a serial supplement entitled The Cornucopian Cavalcade, has begun with The Bad Beginning or, Orphans! and The Reptile Room or, Murder!.

    Humorous quotes from the series were used in a book published under the Snicket name, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid.
