Living Words: Slaughterhouse Five: The Ultimate Fan Experience

Listen:

When you finished Slaughterhouse Five, were you left wanting more? So were we. In fact, after a long debate over how to bring the book beyond the pages, we decided to bring parts of the book to life. We struggled and debated over what parts of this book we could bring to you; could we create a galaxy for you readers, identical to the one Billy Pilgrim creates? Or should we send you back in time, to Dresden? So it goes.

Finally, we thought of it. Why not bring key artifacts to you, and let you become more involved in the story? If you were like us, you held this book as near and dear to your heart as Weary held his bulletproof bible. However, you may have been curious about major details of the book. What did the Tralfamadores who repeatedly abducted Billy look like? What did Montana Wildhack’s necklace look like, or the dog tags Billy describes his fellow soldiers wearing? What about the shoes Billy was forced to wear from the Cinderella play after his boots were stolen when he was captured? Vonnegut Industries asked the same questions, and we’re bringing the answers to you. Now you can re-read Slaughterhouse Five, with your complete fan kit with you. Isn’t that comforting? This kit includes: A plush stuffed animal made to represent Tralfamadores, your choice of necklace (either resembling Wildhack’s locket or Billy Pilgrim’s dog-tag), and a pair of slippers made to look like your choice of Cinderella shoes (“airman’s boots painted silver”) or army boots. No longer will there be a doubt in your mind about what the extraterrestrials look like. Your plush toy comes in a variety of colors; you can choose the best Tralfamadore for you. With personalized dog tags, or a locket identical to Montana Wildhack’s, you can become part of the war, alongside Pilgrim in Dresden with your very own dog-tag, or go to the galaxy of the Tralfamadores with the necklace like the one that hangs around Montana’s neck. And when you’re captured by Germans with Billy and the ‘three musketeers’ and their boots are taken, your slippers will stay on comfortably on your feet.

As you’re transported through time with Billy Pilgrim and the various other characters through memories of past wars, present day, or to another galaxy all together, you have the opportunity to curl up to your Tralfamadore, slide on your slippers and necklaces and become part of the book with items directly from it. Thrown around in time and space, you have the opportunity to really become part of the book, to see into Billy Pilgrims mind, and now visualize his experiences easier than ever. This kit will make the experience of Billy Pilgrim’s journey more authentic to you, because it allows you to become part of the story yourself. This kind of experience is rarely offered in books, making it unique to Slaughterhouse Five and its true fans. It will enhance the way you read the book and the way you interact with the story and its characters. You will now have a way to carry the book with you at all times, in various forms. We hope this kit will help you become abducted into the story, much like Billy was abducted into the world of Tralfamadores.
