Centipede will be releasing.....

[CyberGhostface]

How much do you think We Have Always Lived in the Castle will cost? More than $500?

Even though I have a 1st ed. HC of THE BACHMAN BOOKS, I went ahead and snagged an unsigned edition of the Centipede volume. It looks like a terrific production. Bev Vincent’s signature and a slipcase, though, and a smaller limitation didn’t make it worth for me three times the unsigned edition, especially with all the Centipede titles still to come in the next couple months.

Maybe I don't lurk the right social media areas to note otherwise, but I'm kinda surprised at the muted chatter on the King book. I know that its not signed by him and its not one of his big books, but even as a non-King collector, I was pretty excited by this announcement. The Long Walk is one of the few King books I've been meaning to get around to reading AND its being done by Centipede so it was nothing but good news for me. I know that this isn't one of King's "big" books like The Shining, The Stand, and whatnot, but I think it's a great selection for Centipede Press as it kinda hits Jerad's penchant for doing older overlooked books, and while one can't really say that King is "overlooked," The Long Walk fits that area in his bibliography. I'm sure that everyone is now hoping that Centipede will do all the Bachman books, but I think Rage will be the deal-breaker on that one.

Signed copies still show on the page so still not sold out?

No, they went fast. If you click on the signed order button PayPal will tell you it's sold out.

I picked up the unsigned edition - I can't justify the expense on the signed on. Surprised by how long the signed edition lasted, but maybe we all followed the instructions and no one posted the link.

Did anyone else pick up The Long Walk today? I ordered one of each (signed & unsigned).

The signed copies are gone now, and Jerad asked Kris Webster to post this link in his FB group, so I'm sure it's ok to post here: http://www.centipedepress.com/horror...4ihv0jQ-AR43CU

Ron, that was a great article! I'd never heard of NEP, and it was a fascinating read. I went and picked up a copy of Animosity for $15 from Zeising.

Thanks, and glad you enjoyed the article, Dave...it was enjoyable piece to write and to speak to all those interviewees (14? 15?) of their memories of NEP and their own place in the genre at that time.

Don’t forget to pick up the WEIRD FICTION REVIEW this weekend, too…it has my new massive 20,000-word “Collecting the Modern Macabre” feature in it. For comparison, all my others (including the new one for 2023 that I just submitted today) have been under 10,000 words. It’s a big’un.

Picked-up a copy of "Let Go Play at the Adams'" this morning. Was surprised this one didn't quickly sell-out. I thought it would for sure, especially at that price ($75). Have been wanting to read this one since Centipede put it on my radar earlier this year. Glad I was able to snag a copy!

I forgot about checking email until after I watched the F1 Grand Prix, and I assumed they would all be gone by the time I checked (2pm Eastern). I bought it

I was convinced this would sell out incredibly fast due to the combination of its reputation as being pretty intense and unavailability for so many years. Maybe it’s just the sheer amount of titles that have been flowing from Centipede lately that’s slowing the sales down?

Likely that (though that Greenhall duo sold out very quickly last week, so...?), and the recent paperback reprint from Valancourt may slimmed away that legendary scarcity and that may have played a part as well (though, honestly, I'm not sure how much overlap there really is between Valancourt customers/readers and Centipede customers/collectors). I was kind of surprised, too.

Yeah, I wouldn’t worry too much about it…as long as you read them carefully, there shouldn’t be any issue. I’m not exactly sure what Jerad specifies in production, but they’re pretty robust.

Thanks for the feedback. You and mhatchett have convinced me to move these into my active TBR pile.

[Sock Monkey]

They do, I even read mine in the tub.....HAHAH!

Nothing wrong with a good bath read!
