Production Update Questions

[Splync]

It also lists Issue #78 of the magazine as shipping in late February. I have heard from others that this was pulled from the printer to remove some content. Is that true? Not sure as they have never updated the website, emailed subscribers or posted anything here. I assume it was posted to Facebook but that is just a guess as I am not in that club.

Kevin Lucia posted about CD #78 on Facebook. It has been delayed to remove Tom Monteleone's article.

So, the production updates page says updated last March 7th...but I don't see anything that was really updated but maybe the Graveyard books. So no movement on Caretakers, Flight or Fright (also, 5 years for an artist edition?), Night Shift Lettered, The Stand, and We're all in this together, the aforementioned forthcoming grab bag of 2018...Any update on that at all?
Second question, if the Night Shift Lettered is taking this long, how much longer are we going to wait for the Stand Lettered? I feel like people had expectations that The Stand would be coming this year, 'things are moving' is the sentiment I've heard, but man, if you guys haven't even finished night shift, and the responses that I've received are that you won't ship the stand until night shift is completed, we deserve some kind of time table.

I truly intend no offense here, but I have to say that with the current operations at Cemetery Dance the Production Update page is useless. I would recommend avoiding it if the wait times are bugging you. Examples: The March 2023 update lists two books (The Girl Who Builds Monsters and Seasons of Terror) as publishing in 2022 "very" likely. I am confident that this information is not correct. The latest update lists Interview with a Vampire as at the printer. The last update showed it as shipping in Mid-February. Did it get delayed again? Was the last update inaccurate? Don't know or care, my point is something changed, and nothing was communicated. It also lists Issue #78 of the magazine as shipping in late February. I have heard from others that this was pulled from the printer to remove some content. Is that true? Not sure as they have never updated the website, emailed subscribers or posted anything here. I assume it was posted to Facebook but that is just a guess as I am not in that club.
My advice would be if you are willing to wait, step back and wait. Asking for details from CD management will be met with a generic response, no response or an incorrect response. If waiting is to frustrating cancel and buy them when they are in-stock or on the secondary market.
I currently have pre-orders with Cemetery Dance dating back to 2007 (Fresh Voices in Terror) and I have decided to sit back and wait. It is unfortunate that we are here, but we are.

Looks like Fracassi had to cancel a L.A. signing yesterday because the books were not available / did not arrive:

Yeah I saw that after I posted here, so I guess I got my answer.

Wondering if Gothic has started shipping.

Not quite sure where to post this question. Do you have any idea when King of Shadow will ship from CD?

Thanks

Hate to ask but is there any update?

Hi Dan, Any new updates on the Billy Summers slipcase yet? If not, no worries!

No proper updates! It has quite a line in front of it before it sees the light of day, sadly

[sholloman81]

The rest just arrived! I know there are a handful of slipcases to go out and sig sheet grab bags and whatnot, but I expect they'll be out within a week! If you've not heard anything by then, let me know and I'll start printing up orders and shipping them out when I get free moments

I will ask around if anyone else has a good estimation on time frame, but from what I can see we hit a pretty good stretch of Bentley Little books as every other or every third GYE for the next while, so they should be coming out 1-2 a year. I apologize for that enormous delay. Of the first 8 GYEs, only one is Little, but I believe they should all be done well before 30. 1 in 10 years is pretty alarmingly glacial, however and I understand the cause for concern. Please feel free to contact me here or via email for any updates on the GYE/Little stuff and I'll do whatever I can to keep you in the loop! (I'm not sure how much information regarding the GYE order I'm supposed to divulge)

Okay thanks for the reply! I have all the GYE books so far and love the design. I'll keep an eye out for any news on the future releases, including any Bentley Little ones. At this point I'll definitely collect them all, especially given when the Bentley Little ones finally ship I'll have already paid for them!

Safely arrived today. I got #61

Mine just arrived today! #89

That made me remember something my Mom said to me once and laugh. Probably over 25 years ago my Mom came to me and said she spoke for me when she probably should not have. I cousin, whom I was childhood friends with when I lived in Southern California had moved up here and lived about 25 miles from me. She lives in the Columbia gorge and my Mom would sometimes ask me to drive her up to visit them. I guess she was in Portland for something and visited my Mom. My Mom was nearing 80 and getting frail. My Cousin asked her who would pull together the family when my Mom passed and specifically asked if it would be me. My Mom, who like me had a general rule of 'If you don't want the answer to a question, don't ask' told her without hesitation 'No, you will probably never hear from him again when I pass.' The cousin looked shocked at the response and my Mom thought 'should I have not said that'. I informed my Mom that if the Cousin was relying on me to pull together family gatherings what my Mom said was accurate and not to worry about it. A few years later my Mom passed. The cousin was at my house for the celebration of life I had for Mom and we have not spoken since.

Your statement reminded me of my Mom and put a smile on my face. Thank You!

Love that story. Truth is uncompromising.

But Moms know everything LOL!

Yes. They are.

They are utterly ridiculous. I only own one and it was forced on me.

I am very hard to tolerate. I just moved 10 hours away from the city I called home for 50 years and all my mother said was "Keep in touch." So I wouldn't even say I'm an acquired taste. But even I know Funkos are shelf pollution.

But Moms know everything LOL!
