    Totally get it. It's hard to find the time/money to collect all of the authors that I already love; so, adding in new authors isn't always feasible, especially if you're late to the party. That being said, I truly believe that Jones' stuff is worth bending that rule. It's so good. Over the last couple of years, I'd say that he and Fracassi have been my two favorite "new" authors.

    It's a very good price point. Makes me think about jumping on this. He is a very good author.

    Man, I was really hoping that Little Heaven would have sold out on the first day so that I wouldn't have to make an active choice to pass on the book or not. Both this and the Malfi title have been ones that I've been meaning to pick up in paperback to read, so these editions would fill that void as well. If they were cheaper ($75-125), I'd be all over. At $250, I struggle with trying to fit it into my budget. I know the books will be very nice, however...
    I would like to buy that one too, but there are a few expensive Centipede Press books coming soon that I'm saving money for.

    Pretty much ditto for me! Would love to have Little Heaven but just can't do it at this price point. Considering that I was able to purchase the last three LE's from Earthling (the Fracassi, Everson, & Jones books) for less than the cost of this one Cutter book, it tells me that this series just isn't for me. Felt the same way when Inspection was offered. Oh well, I'll have to drool over the pictures with everyone else!
    All the same things that have run through my head. Except for the fact that I want this series to be for me! Most likely I'm going to pass, but until Little Heaven sells out, I'll keep hearing that siren song.

    Nice. Mine arrived a day or two ago, but I haven't had a chance to open it and thumb through it yet. Will very likely put this one toward the top of the TBR pile.

    Congrats and that is certainly a nice surprise.

    Anybody looking to pick up the next two Modern Classic titles from Earthling that were announced yesterday, Little Heaven by Nick Cutter or Come With Me by Ronald Malfi?

I love the quality of the production put in to all these books, but it absolutely kills the wallet.
    I'll likely give both a pass...I like both Malfi and Cutter / Davidson's work a great deal (though I question the honorarium of "Modern Classic" to either title), but, yeah, that $250 or more cost for authors that, for me, are mid-tier just doesn't fit into the budgetary parameters I have in place for a while.

    I'm considering Little Heaven as I'm a big Nick Cutter fan and generally love everything that Earthling produces, but I'm guessing the cost will put it out of my reach. As you mention, the last book was $250 and that was a while ago. Would not surprise me to see the next book cost more.

    Agreed, definitely interested in both titles.

    It’ll be interesting to see the price point on these, as it’s been over 2 years since Inspection was published.
