Centipede will be releasing.....

Just received my copy of "Night Train". Jared did another bang-up job with this one. It looks great!

I'm holding out for the 'Salem's Lot book on Sunday, and I'm sure I'll be getting a bill for the next Dune book soon.

I passed on the Monteleone book, but did pick up the two volume Algernon Blackwood set from the week before.

Looks like a great story. I guess I didn't get the email on this one.

Anybody grab a copy of "Night Train" this weekend? It sounds fun and the price isn't too bad; so, I took a chance and ordered a copy. Have never read it before but assume that I will like it as I haven't had a Centipede book let me down yet!

[Dave1442397]

When Centipede does a reasonably-priced book, I'm always tempted, and I almost bit on this one, but then I remembered some of the hate Monteleone was spewing all over the place a while back, and I decided that I just can't put a single penny in this idiot's pocket.

And besides that, his own press spits out books with an incredible number of typos. I would hope Jerad has proofreaders who would catch the errors, but you never know.

Anyway, I decided not to buy it...it's just not a book I have a lot of interest in, and there are plenty of expensive titles coming this year.

I did and I'm pretty excited for it. I know that the "big ticket" items like Dune get the most attention, but my true love for Centipede is all the smaller, and often offbeat, titles they put out. Those are my jam and this one seems to fit the bill.

Shadowland arrived this morning and, to be completely honest, I might actually like this presentation more than the limited of Ghost Story. The boards on the book are just gorgeous and I really like the interior art and design. The only drawback, and the area that the Ghost Story limited trumps this one, is the lack of an authentic Straub signature. It's a very minor quibble for what is a stupendous edition. As a Straub fan, I'm happy to see his work continue to get honored in this fashion.

Anybody pick-up Bad Brains this weekend? Am on the fence big time. Really enjoyed Centipede's version of The Cipher, but the description for this one just doesn't seem to grab me. Might revisit picking it up later if copies are still available.

I passed as well. I remember not really digging Koja's stuff back in the Abyss pb days (actually, there was a lot of Abyss that didn't do it for me back in the day, but I digress), but I did pick up THE CIPHER because it's grown such a reputation over the years/decades that I figured maybe I missed something the first time around and it was likely due for a reread. But I'm not committed enough to that reevaluation to pick up another work by her that hasn't enjoyed that same growth of reputation.

Gotta save my money for ALAS, BABYLON.

Got my shipping notice for Shadowland. I already have the signed Gauntlet edition--picked it up a few years back from like $50, which, in my opinion, is stupid cheap--but I'm looking forward to adding this to the shelf. I am going to need to revisit this book very soon.

That IS cheap! The price has gone up a bit in recent years for that one.

Centipede's edition looks to be THE edition, so I couldn't resist.

I have the same Gauntlet S/L edition of SHADOWLAND, so skipped this new Centipede edition. Same reason I skipped their GHOST STORY, I had the Hill House S/L. I'll occasionally upgrade for favorite authors, but while I like Straub (and especially GHOST STORY), he isn't in that top tier that demands upgrades and/or multiple variants of the same title. That said, Jerad of course did a fantastic job on both and they look great, especially SHADOWLAND.

I received my Weird Tales volume today and it is another fantastic production from Jerad at Centipede. Honestly, I don't think there is another publisher that is aligned with both my tastes in titles published and production aesthetics as Centipede. I don't know if I've ever been disappointed with one of their editions.

Congrats! This one looked very nice.
