Karl Edward Wagner's Kane series from Centipede Press

[mhatchett]

A sentimental favorite of mine. I have the unsigned edition, but I love the collection, a werewolf story, a vampire story with ghouls, a war story and a Demon story. The art work is fantastic, the whole book, well one of Grants best efforts in my opinion. One day I hope to upgrade to the signed slipcased edition. Great pick up Theli!

PS: My mistake, Mirage isn't in this collection...

I just bought a copy of Grant's signed/limited edition of The Book of Kane. I sent Jerad an e-mail to see if he could match my number. I think it would be a cool set to have, even if not all from the same publisher.

It would be nice if they did it like Subterranean Press did for the Phillip K Dick set. Release one a year. ...or even two. Much easier to save for something like that.

That's a good idea. I know I'd more able to get on board with something like that rather than trying to pay for it all in one shot. And it's not like they haven't done it before as their Complete Short Fiction of R.A. Lafferty is supposed to run up to a dozen volumes.

I'm kind of thinking the same. It'd be a shame to miss out on it though. I'm hoping the price isn't much more than the Kane set otherwise I'll be stuck with unsigned editions...

EIGHT volume set? Yikes! While I'm excited for a project of that magnitude, I have serious doubts that my wallet will be able to handle price tag that comes along with it.

Eight volumes... Oh god, how much is this set going to cost?

Both arms and legs. Gonna have to start storing nuts for the winter early this year!

Seriously though, sounds like there's still work to be done. It might be a while before these are released.

Just posted today guys!
"As many of you know, we are working on an 8-volume set of the complete Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser by Fritz Leiber, complete with all the related poetry, essays, letters, and other memorabilia that goes with this. I am trying to find an already typed version of the great essay by Fritz Leiber, “Fafhrd and Me,” without having to do all the scanning of pages. Would anyone have this?"
Wow, we are on a roll! I'm going to be broke the rest of the year lol!!

Thanks Mike! Back to saving up for a CP set again!

[Sock Monkey]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing the info. I also hope it's a little ways off to give me time to save up.

Hi,
I knew I saw it somewhere, Newsletter 9/22/13. i don't know where this project is in the que, but like Winter, LOL, it's coming! Save more!!!

FAFHRD AND THE GRAY MOUSER
FRITZ LEIBER
A lot of requests have come in over the years regarding Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser by Fritz Leiber. Guess what? Hardcover rights are secure! Hooray! So the next question is now that I have it, what do you want to see? Right off the bat, it has to be individual books in a box set. Each book signed and numbered, there’s no way around that. An omnibus will be just too huge to hold. I was thinking 6 x 10 size, like my The Sheep Look Up — good size, not too large. And illustrations. Of course. The question is, who? Tim Kirk is the guy that springs to mind first for me. But what do you all think? People have strong opinions on this. I’d like to hear yours.

[Theli]

I hope that's true, but it seemed like from the recent announcement that, at least the most current Leiber reissue, is going to be his sci-fi works. I didn't notice any mention of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser yet. Which I am okay with, I would prefer the Canadian dollar recuperate a bit before that set gets announced. But I do want it BAD.

Jerad does a great job. Can't wait for the Fritz Leiber Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser set to come out! Have Kane books on order as well, hard to beat those original covers though lol!!

Oh man, they're going to do a Gray Mouser set? I think I need a second job...
