Centipede will be releasing.....

[mhatchett]

Agreed. Don’t see the appeal at all in this one, except to die hard Dracula collectors.

Now Dracula is a bonafid genre classic, but even at 400 or so pages, it runs a little long (I’ve read it several times).

Certainly don’t need an 800 page version, especially one that is soaked in late 1800’s Swedish political propaganda.

I know it sounds strange, but I read this version offers some interesting improvements over the original.

My reasoning is that I don’t currently have a copy of DRACULA in my collection, believe it or not, and needed to remedy that. Add in that it’s a Centipede release — my favorite small press — and unsubstantiated skepticism aside about the origins of POWERS (that’s not seen an unabridged reprint in a century), you’ve got arguably the most interesting example possible of a seminal horror classic that I’ve needed for decades to add to my library. It’s even priced right, for what it is. For me, it wasn’t about the hype that apparently was present on Facebook, a venue I don’t use, rather it was simply a Must Have for all the personally relevant reasons listed above, and I’m thrilled I snagged a signed copy.

I'm not really sure why this particular title from CP generated so much interest, frankly. I mean, by all accounts it's (most likely) a 100 + year old piece of Swedish Fan Fiction- and not a very good one at that. Any claims that it was based on some mythical "early draft" of DRACULA are spurious at best. I mean, hey- was I ready to hit "Buy" at 8;30 pst this morning? Heck yeah, but I'm a life-long collector of neat DRACSTUFF. I'm sure as are many here. But the hundreds (I think it may be in the thousands now?) folks on the CP Fans Facebook page who whipped this one up to a frenzy the last month or two... I am not so sure, based on some of the comments. Unfair of me to speculate based on comments, but- I'll do it anyway.

In any case- it looks like a fun perusal "read" for me, and certainly one for the Drac Collection.

Congrats to all that bought a copy. It pained me to pass.

All now Sold Out.

[RonClinton]

All now Sold Out.

[c marvel]

Might want to hurry, Cap, if you want one…those unsigned ones probably aren’t going to last too long, either.

I'll go back to the CP site soon. I'm finishing doing some cleaning in my room. ~Cap
~And I just snagged an unsigned copy.

[c marvel]

yeah, got one. didn't think it would sell out in less than 30 minutes!

How much was a signed copy? ~Cap

[Ben Staad]

If you can swing it I would go for it. I'm passing as my budget is a little thin now but it hurts to do so.

I suppose people here got the signed Powers of Darkness. I missed out, I blew it on the time change. I'm considering ordering an unsigned copy. ~Cap

[Sock Monkey]

I hadn't heard that happened. That sucks.

[Splync]

I am very surprised that Jared is planning a second printing of Burn Witch Burn. I am glad to see the interest is there.

Additional copies were already necessary in order to replace the shipment of unsigned copies that got lost in transit. I imagine that it's easier to do a second printing at the same time.

[Dr Eric Vornoff]

Thank you Sock Monkey and Ron, I am actually really looking forward to that Long book. I have a fondness for that Weird Tales era. I am very surprised that Jared is planning a second printing of Burn Witch Burn. I am glad to see the interest is there.
