Karl Edward Wagner's Kane series from Centipede Press

[Sock Monkey]

Camelot currently has the signed set available for preorder at a price of $350. I don't see it up at Centipede's site. Anybody have any info as to when this will be available through them?

I will definitely pick up this set, though I'm torn on whether I'm willing to spring an extra hundred bucks for the signed edition. Nothing against the artists, but I don't know that just their signatures are worth it.

I sent Jerad a reply as well. I'm not sure though I want the signed editions. A set of the regular books will be available for a fantastic price, but shipping to my country will cost me!

Really looking forwards to the Centipede Famous Monsters of Filmland tribute as well.

I sent him a response as well. He had also sent out a newsletter a few weeks back inquiring about the public's interest in an Elric limited edition set, that's a set I whole heartedly endorse.

Thanks for posting this for everyone, Theli, good call. I sent Jerad a note letting him know to count me in, and also asked if he'd received enough interest in Monteleone's Blood of the Lamb / Reckoning to produce the limited edition he'd mentioned. Fingers are crossed and I'm trying not to hold my breath.

Since it seems there is more than just myself interested in this prospective set I figured a thread should be started. Jerad just sent out a newsletter with some more info on the series. Pretty exciting!

"We are hard at work on the dustjackets for the Karl Edward Wagner set of Kane books. To reiterate, this is a set of five hardcover books. The novels are*Bloodstone, Dark Crusade,*and*Darkness Weaves,*and two short story collections:*Death Angel’s Shadow*and*Night Winds.*These titles have been impeccably proofread and each book contains new artwork. The artists are Tom Kidd, Patrick J. Jones, Boco, Les Edwards, and Grant Griffin. There are also some previously unpublished photographs of Wagner. Each book is signed with a facsimile Karl Edward Wagner signature and is also signed by the artist. The five volume signed set will be sold in a slipcase . The cost of this set will probably be $300 for the set, with a pre-order price of $275. There will also be unsigned sets available. These are already listed on Amazon for $75 each. My web price will be $40 each with a price of $175 for the set of 5.*
****** This is the definitive set of these books. The short story collections are each 400+ pages, and include all of the Kane related stories and poems. I can happily send you a table of contents so you can see and make sure for yourself. In addition, old edition artwork from the 1970s Warner paperbacks are included in each volume.*
****** Can you let me know about your interest in this set of books? This is a pretty healthy investment but it is the definitive series and we want to make sure that you feel you’re getting the best editions possible at the very best price. Thank you for your time in reading this, and thank you in advance for your responses."
