Lots of comments earlier in this thread r.e. the new set of William Hjortsberg’s FALLING ANGEL and its sequel...in response to this, I thought I would feature my inscribed (to me) copy of Hjortsberg’s NEVERMORE on Twitter today. You can see pics here:

He and I corresponded a bit in the early ‘90s, and he was kind enough to send me an ARC of his new book.Twitter: https://twitter.com/ron_clinton

None of Ray's books have really gone up in value; even Live Girls can usually be found in the neighborhood of list price, which is actually a discount when you factor in inflation. Hell, I got a lettered copy for $85 a couple of years ago. I've actually picked up several of Ray's lettereds over the last few years, and never paid more than $100.
Windows tends to go for quite a bit over list, but that almost certainly is entirely due to Joe Hill's signature.

I haven't had a chance to post about that latest info dump in last week's Centipede newsletter, so while I'm late to the party, I'm ready to dance!
First, HOLY. BISCUITS. This might be one of the most impressive lists of books that I've seen lined up in a while. I keep reading the list and getting excited more and more as I go down it. There's so much interesting stuff.
So beyond everything that has been previously announced that is pretty amazing--SOMETHING WICKED, DUNE, More ENDER, CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM, NIFFT THE LEAN, LIVE GIRLS--there are some standout new additions that got me excited.
1. Two new Blackburn novels--A BEASTLY BUSINESS and BLUE OCTAVO--that has been hinted at before but I'm not sure the titles were released. I could be wrong, but, hey, more Blackburn!
2. DARK STAR and THE DIRECTOR SHOULD'VE SHOT YOU by Alan Dean Foster: Mr. Alan Dean Foster was a fixture for me during my youth for his movie adaptations since I wasn't allowed to see most of the movies he adapted, including ALIENS. Now we get an adaptation of the John Carpenter movie AND a book about his movie adaptations. I'm pretty excited for these. Now if Centipede would do an edition of his novel INTO THE OUT OF...(I'm sure the book isn't that good but I have fond memories).
3. SHADOWLAND!! Not only are they doing one of my favorite books of all time--GHOST STORY--but now they have added SHADOWLAND to the mix. This title definitely deserves a new limited edition. I have the Gauntlet edition, but it is pretty bare bones.
4. THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR by Anne River Siddons--I think this is going to be a big one. This book has gotten more talk over the last couple years and I think this will definitely raise its profile. Maybe I should finally get around to reading the paperback I've had laying around for years.
5. A new run of THE BOOK OF THE NEW SUN titles, THE DYING EARTH by Jack Vance, and RINGWORLD by Larry Niven are all pretty substantial additions. I can't speak to any of them as I only know the books by reputation, but I'm very interested in all of them.
6. COLD MOON OVER BABYLON--Glad to see that more Michael McDowell is on its way. Man, I hate the fact I missed out on the BLACKWATER books.
7. A trio of Studies in the Horror Film books that I'm actually really interested in: THE THING, THE OMEN, and PHANTASM.
8. THE CLUB DUMAS! Another book that has had a limited edition, but I'm sure that Jerad will do something new with it.
There's a lot more on the list, but these are all the ones that really jumped out at me. I'm super-impressed and I know where a whole lot of my future disposable income will be going!

I’ve especially been looking for a copy of the limited of SPEAK TO ME OF DEATH for a awhile and just missed out on a copy on EBay for $200. Someone enjoyed that deal.
