    There are so many good titles on the forthcoming list. I'm particularly excited for the MotWT Charles Grant volumes. I really wish that Jerad would do more of Grant's books. Dumas is at a significantly higher price point than what I had expected. I'm sure this is to help separate it from the Sub Press edition, but I had a little bit of sticker shock. And more McDowell!

    I'm also very intrigued by the upcoming Weird Tales book. This sounds to be a very interesting project and look forward to getting it into my hands.

    Last but not least...GHOST STORY and SHADOWLAND!!! Man, it might be at the end of the year (and wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't get pushed into Spring 2024 with the all the various delays publishers have been dealing with), but these are two big ones for me. If there are deluxe editions, I'm gonna have to break the bank to get them.
    Agree!

    Definitely, but still more than I had thought it was going to land at. My wallet is wishing that it was cheaper, but my collector's OCD is happy as it sounds like Castle might aesthetically match Hill House making it a nice looking set on the shelf.

    Keep telling myself that I don't need the over priced (out of print) Dark Horse Comics version (but if I found a deal on eBay or elsewhere I'd jump at it) and I can wait for the CP edition.

    I’m going to have to skip this one…hopefully there’ll be a later deluxe trade reprint like he did with THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE.

    I loved ADF's Flinx books when I read them back in the late '70s/early '80s, and his memoir was a great read, better than expected.
    I believe my first ADF book was the novelization of Aliens. I had to be around ten or eleven and had never seen the movie. The book knocked my socks back then.

    Anyone else pick up the special that Jared sent out this morning for those who purchased The Long Walk (Alan Dean Foster's The Director Should Have Shot You)? I originally passed when that book was first offered by Centipede but couldn't do so a second time at the $8 price-point. Have never read anything by this author, but have fingers crossed that this book will be enjoyable. Hoping that I will be since I am a fan of a lot of those movies.

    I'm surprised that it hasn't sold out yet either. Of course, it had a 1500-copy print run (500 signed and 1000 unsigned), which might be one of the reasons its still hanging around on Centipede's website. I really need to get around to reading my copy. (I actually just really need to start reading again...)

    I don't recall Jerad mentioning in his newsletter that WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE is being done to the production standards of the original oversized edition of THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE. That said, that doesn't mean it isn't, just that I don't recall him saying so, and I do recall his mentioned it a number of times leading up to HILL HOUSE, so my fingers are crossed that the trim size and whatnot will mirror the smaller, cheaper 2nd ed. of HILL HOUSE that he released, putting it somewhere perhaps between $125 and $200, I'd guess.

    It's a pretty short book, I don't think much more than $200.00 depending on the bells and Whistles.....

    I snagged an unsigned copy as well. This is my favorite Bachman book. Like others I could not justify the more expensive edition especially since all editions come with Mylar cover protection.
