Centipede will be releasing.....

[Sock Monkey]

Man, there are so many copies of The Long Walk popping up on eBay. While I know that the amount offered on the aftermarket is only a small portion of what Centipede actually sold, it definitely gives the impression that a lot of people bought this book to flip it.

Got my shipping notice from Centipede. Looks like I'll have it in hand in about a week if USPS tracking is accurate.

There's one full-page B&W interior that I'm not particular crazy about, but the rest of the (smaller) illustrations -- and especially the front and back covers -- look great. I thought they did a nice job, and it feels appropriate to the work.

And I can be kinda tough on artwork...I was all set to go for an AE of Suntup's THE GODFATHER, but the artwork just didn't hit me right so decided to skip it. I may change my mind down the road and buy the book in spite of the artwork, but at the moment it just doesn't work for me as a package.

Thanks for you thoughts. I eagerly await the book, and have tried not to look too much ahead at what it looks like, instead, waiting to experience it as fresh as possible once in my hands. I agree about the illos in THE GODFATHER. They are not "bad" at all, but they also don't really inspire me to spend $150 on a book already on my shelf. I do applaud Paul's commitment to illustration in his books, and even if they don't always fit with what I have in my head, I admire the swings. If anything, I'd dig a numbered of that novel (which I really enjoyed reading, many years ago)- looks fantastic. Just too much scratch, unfortunately. I've come to realize- I just can't afford Suntup's books.

I always dig the Keegan's work, but was/am not entirely convinced they were nailing the general vibe I've had in my head for so long. At least from the few images on the product page. I'm still waiting on mine, but curious to what ya'll think of the illos?

Re: THE LONG WALK: Lord, have I been pining for this book ever since it was revealed. I just reread it last year- after probably 20 or more years since the last reading- and was nervous about it holding up to the very high standards I've always had it at in my mind. It did not disappoint. It's easily the best Bachman Book, and among King's best stories full stop (still amazes me that he wrote this in college).

The Long Walk looks great. I'm looking forward to getting my copy.

Received The Long Walk yesterday and couldn't be happier with it. It's another fantastic production from Centipede.

Sure is:

I think you'll like the ADF book. I was expecting it to be a decent read, but it was better than that.

Could not agree more...wasn't expecting a great deal, but ended up really enjoying it (more so than DARK STAR, which was an interesting read but not particularly satisfying).

Just received my copy of Stephen King's "The Long Walk" as well as Alan Dean Foster's "The Director Should Have Shot You" from Centipede. Each production looks amazing! "The Long Walk" is a much thicker book than I was expecting. Don't remember the novella being quite that long; however, it has been many years since I read the Bachman book collection. In terms of the Foster book, it was a complete impulse buy for me. Decided to purchase it since Jerad was offering signed copies at $15 dollars with the purchase of "Long Walk". Have never read anything by this author; however, I love most of the movies that the order-page mentioned; so, I'm sure that there's a good chance that I will like it. Worst case, it cost me less than ordering a pizza!

As soon as I saw this title announced, I remembered that there was one person I knew who was a big fan of it and that I’d talked to briefly about it…must’ve been you, Hunter.

Hmm, never heard of this one. I just bought the kindle edition to see if I like it enough to spend money on the CP edition (as if we don't already know the answer to that question).

[RonClinton]

I'm thrilled to see this!

Blood of the Impaler by Jeffrey Sackett. $75. Probably June.

There are so many good titles on the forthcoming list.

When it comes to a Centipede Press release schedule, it's much easier (and shorter) to list those titles I *don't* want...

As far as the Grant, I'm not usually a MotWT guy -- I have only three (Wagner, Burks, and Jacobi) -- but I think I'm going to go for this one. The PS Pub collection of a few years ago, SCREAM QUIETLY, was okay, but I felt it left a good deal of room for improvement. This Centipede collection should be just the ticket.
