I think you'll be very satisfied with it...it's one of my favorite Midnight House titles.
I have bought all of the Midnight House editions that Jared has available from the Pelan collection. I am really impressed by the quality of these lesser known titles. I think Edgar Jepson's The Garden at 19 is one of the best books I have read all year. Old school paganism. Now with the Centipede touch with artwork I am sure Feesters will be an excellent addition to any collection.
I, too, was blindsided by this. Some posts on the CP Facebook group cleared it up: apparently, there was a 100 copy run, printed letterpress in a few batches over several years, recently offered to Subscribers only, as a "gift"- @ $695. The poster- who has insider knowledge- said that there will be a regular offset printed edition offered to the general list at some point down the road. I'm cool with that. It looks like a beautifully designed volume. I'd be happy to have an offset one, at say- $100.
Same. I would have passed at $695 anyhow -- especially with the PS Pub. S/L of DARK GODS (that includes this novella) that I have on order -- so it's all a bit moot for me. But I'm certainly in the market for $100'ish offset tribute to this wonderful novella.

I can’t figure out what happened here…I didn’t even realize it had been offered for sale. On Jeff’s live bookclub tonight, a couple folks intimated they knew how copies were out in the wild, but were coy about it, so I still remain puzzled. I remember it was announced some time back as forthcoming, but now it’s out in folks’ hands…? Odd. Maybe I missed some announcement, but I don’t *think* I did…

I'm sorry to hear that, Slayn. That's got to be frustrating. I'm sure that signed copies will turn up on the aftermarket. Maybe you'll get lucky and get one around issue price? Maybe reach out to Roy at Bad Moon or Kim at Camelot and they might be able to hook you up with a copy.
