You know you have a slight problem with self-restraint when you get more excited about what you DON'T want from a publisher than what you DO want.
Centipede listed their forthcoming books for this summer, and my wallet and I felt a palpable sense of relief when there was only one that caught my interest.
Who Censored Roger Rabbit by Gary K. Wolf.
The Woman in Black by Susan Hill.
Elric of Melniboné by Michael Moorcock.
Masters of Science Fiction by Richard Wilson.
Masters of the Weird Tale by Robert Aickman.
The Man Who Walked Through Cracks by R.A. Lafferty.
I'm sure the other books will be very fine volumes as per Jerad's usual high-quality design sense and production, but the titles just aren't for me, especially when I'm really trying to be more discerning to save some money and try to winnow down my massive TBR pile rather than add to it. Fortunately I'm not a completist and buy based only on what I want to read and collect, not by publisher, and in this case there's really only one I want to read, and that's WOMAN IN BLACK, an early '80s novel of some acclaim that for some reason I've never read. This new edition would seem a nice way to remedy that.
