I went for the Centipede edition today. I figure if I don't like it (unlikely) it should be easy enough to flip it. I've probably said that about many of the books that never leave my house once they show up

I'm unsure about the art myself on the Centipede edition. Like you, I've only seen what is posted on the product page, but from what I've seen it doesn't blow me away. I'm not familiar with the art in the Hill House edition beyond that on the dustjacket, which I do like. I'm not quite sure why I never previously tracked down a copy of the Hill House edition. Of course, I'm still on board with this new edition.

Sure, there’s a bit of FOMO going on, but I’m pleased and comfortable with the edition I have.

I don't disagree that the anticipated price point for Ghost Story is rather steep. It's also one of my favorite books from one of my favorite presses AND it's signed by Straub, so there is no way I could miss out on this. It's not a secret that Centipede does nice books, but their edition of Julia is one of my absolute favorites that I own and I'm hoping I'll be equally as fond of their edition of Ghost Story.

I've since found a slightly later email from Centipede that reads "$395 to $495", so that earlier $495-plus has been tempered a bit. Still likely not in the budget for me, though, not with the Hill House looking so dapper on the shelf.

JEE-ZUS! I love GHOST STORY, and I was seriously contemplating this edition, but that is just insane, at least as far as my broke self is concerned. I'm still recovering from the JOHN THE BALLADEER set, that I still haven't received. Guess I'll be sitting this one out!

I saw that notice and got a little excited. I have the Hill House S/L, which is a nice volume, but FOMO was hitting me hard and I’d thought, Well, I guess I can relax my no-variants rule for such a nice production of a vital horror classic…$295 isn’t horrible for an item of that importance. Then I doublecheck past Centipede emails to get a description of the production values…and I see it’s actually going to be “$495 or more.” Yikes. Not such my FOMO is going to be able to overcome that imposing price when the paid-for Hill House is looking very attractive on my shelf...

I'm really hoping that Jerad will continue on and we'll get Floating Dragon. I'd love if someone did new editions of the Blue Rose books. I know that there's some love out there for Koko, but I hardly hear anyone talk about The Throat or Mystery, both I found to be fantastic reads.
