This is a signed copy of 'Blood Opera', a book about the movie Repo! The Genetic Opera. It's signed by Staci Wilson, the author, Darren Smith, the film's screenwriter and Bill Moseley, one of the film's stars.
Very nice...I almost picked up that very edition, but decided to hold off for the inevitable SST S/L edition. That said, I may still pick it up as I'd still like to read the thing, and I suspect it'll be a while before the SST appears (assuming it, in fact, does).
This is one of those rare cases, too, where I prefer the U.S. HC cover art to the U.K. HC art...usually it's the other way around. But though there were a number of U.K. special trade-signed editions with sprayed-edge designs, the U.S. cover is just much more attractive. There was even one from Black Crow Books with special endpapers and a particularly cool sprayed-edge design (pic'd below), but I just couldn't get past that ugly cover.
Edit: Well, I just picked up what looks to be the last signed B&N Edition U.S. 1st in the Greater Phoenix area.
This is a first UK edition of 'Red' by Jack Ketchum with a signed bookplate.
Also thanks to those who read/comment this thread, I don't always respond but I still appreciate the responses.
Nice grab! I love Jack Ketchum's stuff! I pretty much have all of his LE's except the hardcover of Right to Life which is one of my "holy grail" books that I hope to find (as a decent price) one day.
