Definitely. Been waiting for this one, as I sold my trade paperback years ago after Jerad said he would be doing an updated version. It's crazy how expensive those older trade paperbacks of Studies In The Horror Film had gotten. I'm sure that film geeks discovering them- who are not necessarily small press book collectors- have been an huge part of that. Incidentally, I remember Jerad used to toss those in as extras with book orders: I must have ended up with 4 'Exorcist's' at one point, ended up donating to my book store. Wish I still had them now! The new SL looks fabulous and can't wait to get it.
I'm as broke as hell, but I couldn't pass up the new edition of 'Salem's Lot. My criteria for limited editions these days is "Can I get this in any other form?" If it's a novel, and I know an e-book is coming, I'll go that route. But for something like this, and PS's MIDNIGHT MOVIE MONOGRAPHS, where the limited is probably the only way to get it, I feel like I have no choice. I'm kicking myself for spending $200.00, but, man.....Centipede can really bring the production values. The book feels like it weighs 10 lbs, the paper is amazing, the photos and artwork are perfectly reproduced...It's a gorgeous book. If anyone ever asked me "How could you spend X amount of dollars on a book?:, this would be the one I took out to show them.

Don't tell my wife how much I spent.
My copy shipped in the same box as Night Train and The Best of Weird. I'm a little worried about how heavy that box will be, haha!

Save some money for next week...if the schedule holds, the new issue of WEIRD FICTION REVIEW is releasing on Saturday, and anyone who's been around the genre scene for a while will likely find my new "Collecting the Modern Macabre" feature of interest.

Stop making me spend money, Ron!!!!!
(I saw that announced a few newsletters ago, and I had already earmarked it for purchase, lol.)

Ron, that's exciting as hell! I can't get a clear view of that thumbnail cover on the Centipede home page but it looks like one of the weirder images he's put on the front! Really looking forward to it!

Ron, another great article, really enjoyed it. My first Dark Harvest book was Swan Song. Picked a few over the years!

Glad you enjoyed it, Mike. I'm pretty sure my first Dark Harvest was Alan Ryan's CAST A COLD EYE, bought sometime in the late '80s. Dark Harvest was the imprint that got me into the whole small press scene, the spark that lit the fire -- that and Cemetery Dance magazine, which I started buying with issue #2, also in the late '80s -- so it was a special pleasure to feature them in my CtMM line of articles.
