Centipede will be releasing.....

Seems like a steep price point to me. I 100% understand that I'm out of this market anymore but, correct me if I'm wrong, the book is listed at $295.00.

Yes, $295 - "Shadowland by Peter Straub, signed copies. $295."

It was delayed for a while, so I had the money set aside back in November. Next on the CP list will probably be the upcoming Dune book.

Yeah, right? I thought Shadowland would be gone right away. I'm very surprised that it's still available 26 hours after going live.

Kinda surprised that neither Weird Tales nor Shadowland have sold out yet.

Me too, especially the Straub as I thought it would sell-out in minutes, even with the large price point. As a collector, the market definitely feels a bit softer lately.

Heck yeah! I’m definitely in SHADOWLAND. Looks like it’s going to be another beautiful edition.

Yeah, those Subpress pics really got me even more excited for this. In fact, my usual calm, cool patience with waiting for books to arrive is out the window now and I'm a little antsy about not getting a shipping notice from CP on this yet. Sundays newsletter did say "Shipping this week!". Anybody get a shipping notice yet?

I haven’t received mine yet. It’s a big print run, so i’m thinking it’s gonna take a little bit to get them all shipped out. I’m with you, though. The book can’t get here soon enough.

Subterranean included some pictures of Centipede's new Weird Tales book in their newsletter today and it looks fantastic. I can't wait to get this in my hands.

I agree -- I was even more pleased after seeing that dj and slipcase...just beautiful. These'll be the only books in my collection that I'll probably turn the wrong way and let the slipcases face outward...it's going to make for a stunning series on the shelf (and the contents looks even better!).

Thank you for all the comments. I'm still pondering. Maybe it will sell-out before I make a decision.

This one is a little out of my reach but your post did lead me to considering picking up Hellstone. I'm probably not a buyer but it's not often I can afford special editions these days and this one is at a price point I can go for. Any nudges, one way or another, for Hellstone?

If you’re OK with an unsigned copy you should check out Ziesing’s website.

They have a lot of unsigned Centipede Press titles at a pretty good discount.

I never did pick up HELLSTONE because I thought I had it in vintage/original paperback. After I discovered that, in fact, I did not, I meant to pick up the Centipede edition after seeing how replete it was with incredible art...and I don't think I ever did. Need to doublecheck that, and if not, I'll likely pick up a copy...too beautiful to pass up. I've read Spruill before -- some collaborative novel he did with F. Paul Wilson -- but the experience seems to have not made an impact, so I'm going in blind on him.

Mich like yourself, I don't dip my toes too often in the Centipede pool due to their prices, but I did pick-up a copy of Hellstone and have it in my TBR pile. Can't speak to the story itself as I had never heard of it prior to purchase (it does seem to have a good rating on Goodreads). As to what I can speak to, the production is top-notch, the art is great, and the price wasn't too bad; so, I decided to roll the dice.

Man, I haven't had a chance to read it yet, so I can't say as far as story goes. (I think that maybe Sholloman has read it, if I'm not mistaken.) But I can say that, while a more compact trim than other Centipede titles, it has some cool colored stamping on the boards and spine and a surprising amount of art. Thumbing through it makes me want to move it up that TBR pile. It doesn't have the best ratings on Goodreads, if something like that carries any weight.
