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 did end up passing on GHOST STORY, as I kind of thought I would. I might have been tempted at a lesser price, but even with that… from what very little I see of the art in the very nice Centipede edition, just those two images on the offering page, I like the art in my S/L Hill House edition better. Sure, there’s a bit of FOMO going on, but I’m pleased and comfortable with the edition I have.Last edited by RonClinton; 05-05-2024, 04:01 PM.Twitter: https://twitter.com/ron_clinton

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.

It's on the level of A MOUNTAIN WALKED, which is one of the best-looking books I have on my shelf. It's really gorgeous. It was a stiff purchase (for me these days), but I am now relieved that I ponied up. It's going to be a "classic" CP book.

Now, I'm looking forward to SHADOWLAND! And I kinda wish that Jerad would give us a new complete set of the Blue Rose books. Heck, just give me a complete Peter Straub Library!
