Centipede will be releasing.....

[RonClinton]

Yeah, at this point, I'm glad to have missed out on purchasing The Butcher's Story. Don't get me wrong, if/when it does ever come out, I will be green with jealousy as it is definitely a book that I would want; however, after seeing all of the twists and setbacks with this novel, I think having it on my pre-order list and it being that overdue would make my head explode, (have a few from CD in the 4-5 year range and they make me anxious enough as is).

I wouldn't sweat missing it. If --and, man, that's a big IF -- it ever comes out, CD limiteds -- save for King and a few select others -- rarely increase on the aftermarket, so it should be easy to pick up a copy.

That's what I tell myself, anyhow, since I skipped its preorder waayy back when as well. I have just two preorders with CD right now, and that's the way it's going to stay until I have them both in hand.

Yesterday I received two new older Centipede HC titles that have up 'til now escaped me, so I'm thrilled to finally add them to my collection. The two titles are the signed & numbered HCs of THE TENANT by Roland Topor (signed by Thomas Ligotti (intro.)) and MADBALL by Fredric Brown (signed by Dick Adler (intro.)). I hope to have pics of both up on Twitter within the next week.

Congrats on being able to fill those holes in your collection! Am a little jealous of the Topor find as I didn't realize that Polanski's movie was based on this book. Definitely need to read it now. Also doesn't hurt to have the Ligotti sig. I've always enjoyed Ligotti's stuff and wish he published more frequently.

Heckuva deal, and now you have some great fiction ahead of you. If there's any author from back in the day whose new work I miss than perhaps any other, it's Norman Partridge...he was always one of my favorites. I don't believe I'll ever see his new novel, THE BUTCHER'S STORY -- what has it been, a decade or more on CD's Production Schedule, unfinished with apparently very little communication from Partridge. I don't know if it's a perpetual case of writer's block, a disagreement with CD, or he's simply moved on to another phase of life and other interests, but it's a shame.

Got home from work yesterday and had a package waiting from Centipede, which was a happy surprise. Totally forgot that I had purchased a couple of books from the John Pelan collection. They were shipped to me in fantastic packaging and were in perfect condition. Could not be more happy with this purchase. For those interested, I was able to pick up two signed limited edition books from Norman Partridge (Slippin into Darkness & Bad Intentions) for 30 bucks plus shipping. I was expecting that they would be PC copies but each was an actual numbered copy of the limited edition (#147). I would have paid 30 bucks for either book by itself; so, to actually receive both for that price and for them to be numbered and in perfect condition has me feeling like I totally scored on this deal!

Thanks. I was going to the books page and not the main page.

It is the first book listed in the Forthcoming section. Here is a direct link: Powers of Darkness (centipedepress.com)

I'm not seeing a mention of Stoker. I see a few books previously published. Maybe someone could point me in the correct direction?

Jerad puts a lot of effort in his weekly update. The Stoker comments had me wondering if some people had an additional paragraph or something added to theirs. Sounds like the newsletter may get people to look at the site. The Stoker book does have me intrigued, if it is reasonably priced i may bite.

No, the website was how I knew about the Stoker volume…I strongly doubt Jerad has the time or desire to produce multiple versions of his newsletter.

So are there multiple versions of the Centipede newsletter? The one I received has no mention of Stoker. It is on the website though.

I think there might be Martin. I have noticed some differences in the pst as well.

I'm debating that one in my mind...I really don't think I need it, but god knows every time I pass up a Centipede release that I'm wavering on -- even a little bit -- I seem to end up regretting it sooner or later.

Ron, you have to ge this to be the companion Volume to whatever Dracula edition you have......
