Lemony Snicket Vol. 12 Has a Name: The Penultimate Peril

According to Amazon.com, the suspense has ended: the 12th book in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events has been named. The volume, titled The Penultimate Peril, was listed until today simply as "Vol. 12," with cover "art too awful too show."

Now that the cover art is displayed, I must confess the awfulness escapes me. Perhaps one needs to be a Lemony Snicket reader to understand.

Amazon also has a boxed set, including The Penultimate Peril and the eleven previous volumes available starting today. The publisher advises, "Please be warned. This offering is a great deal of misfortune."
