CyberGhostface's Collection

[CyberGhostface]

This is Thunderstorm Press's lettered edition of 'Depraved 4' by Bryan Smith. It's an author copy I got from Smith's store. It has a few chapters of a discarded early draft exclusive to this edition.





He also threw in a few personalized cards, here's one.

[CyberGhostface]

This is Centipede Press's limited edition of 'We Have Always Lived in the Castle' by Shirley Jackson. This was a big one for me as 'Castle' is one of my favorite books. I was also able to get matching numbers with their edition of 'The Haunting of Hill House'.

[RonClinton]

I love Ketchum's work; sad there'll be no more of it. R.I.P. to a fantastic author.

[CyberGhostface]

I recently acquired two signed books by Jack Ketchum from Gauntlet Press.

'Sleep Disorder' which he co-wrote with Edward Lee.





'Closing Time'.

[CyberGhostface]

Some new additions from the past week...

Suntup's numbered edition of 'Hex' by Thomas Olde Heuvelt.





A signed copy of 'Pageboy' by Elliot Page.

[CyberGhostface]

This is my complete numbered Hannibal set from Suntup. Thanks to a member on the Facebook group I was able to get matching numbers.

[CyberGhostface]

This is Suntup's numbered edition for 'Hannibal Rising' by Thomas Harris.

[CyberGhostface]

This is something a little different. Skelton Crew Studio has been making replica metal keys associated with Joe Hill's work. Most of them have to do with Locke & Key but they've also made a couple for NOS4A2.

I generally don't get them but this one was different in that it had an exclusive Joe Hill story (about two pages) featuring Charlie Manx from NOS4A2.

(I'm not including the full story but if you're wary of spoilers there's still some text visible with the key.)

[CyberGhostface]

This is the Hannibal Lecter Art Portfolio from Suntup. There are 37 prints in the set, here are a few I liked.

[CyberGhostface]

Two books came in.

First is SST's limited edition of 'No Sleep Till Wonderland' by Paul Tremblay.





Second is Suntup's classic edition of 'Hex' by Thomas Olde Heuvelt.

[CyberGhostface]

This is Suntup's artist edition of 'Hannibal Rising' by Thomas Harris. It's the black sheep of the Lecter books but nevertheless I am happy that Suntup completed the series.

[CyberGhostface]

This is Cemetery Dance's edition of 'Disappearance at Devil's Rock' by Paul Tremblay.

[CyberGhostface]

This is Dark Region's 30th Anniversary Edition for 'Offspring' by Jack Ketchum.







The bonus material has less to do with the book itself and more to do with remembering Ketchum who passed away shortly before this book this was announced in 2018. There's a lengthy archival interview with him and some rare personal photos (Dallas Mayr was his real name; Ketchum was a pen name).

[Sock Monkey]

I'm also not the biggest fan of CD's mass signing sheets either, but I don't hate them. I just kinda find them "meh" to my collector sensibilities. I'm also with Ron in that Thunderstorm's author pictures signature page weren't my favorite. It was an interesting idea, but it didn't add much in my opinion. SST's stylized signature pages are some of my favorite. They're fun and tie into the books well without feeling too cheesy.

[TacomaDiver]

Oh yes - CD's massive chaotic signature sheets. I have a few editions like that. Not a fan either.

Probably similar to Easton Press for aesthetically speaking - I don't like the look of their books. Period. Especially the spines with SIGNED EDITION on them. I know they have a definite classic design, but it's not for me.
