Cemetery Dance Publications Announcement Scheduled For April 7, 2014

[CyberGhostface]

Yeah. I really can't think of LEs that would be a bigger deal than IT unless they're republishing something that has already been done before (like The Stand).

[Ben Staad]

I still think the big announcement will be an original from SK. Special editions don't seem to fit something that "...most important projects in a long time" phrase. A long time ago they released BB which was a major deal for CC. Whatever it is I hope there is an edition that I can afford.

Several posts have quoted Brian as saying the project will be out late summer. But did he say late summer 2014? I'm thinking late summer 2014 doesn't give enough time to get a huge project together and printed. Perhaps he meant late summer 2015?

Hey everybody! Brand new member here. I've started collecting CD releases over the last couple of years, and had a quick question on how they handle their big announcements.

I've received e-mails regarding their announcements over the last year, and have been able to get orders in promptly (I was able to order signed copies of The Damnation Game and Gone Girl). Will CD put the item they're announcing for sale immediately? Or is it possible the announcement will be made on April 7th, but the book won't go on sale until later?

I'm trying to figure out if I should take the day off work on April 7th.

^I'd spend that much of your money, my funds don't allow anywhere near that. A gift edition for me, if anything at all.

I am sticking to my Firestarter guess and yes I do think the fire is perhaps obvious but maybe it is so obvious it makes us think it can't be that because it is ... Well.. Obvious. There may already be a limited there is no limited on the scale of IT. However for anyone thinking it is something actually entirely new I have to wonder about the publication date which is supposed to be later this year. I would think even a graphic novel would not be possible unless it is already completed as there is not enough time. They have to have an author they normally work with (like King) because we could be waiting two years for signature sheets like one other job we have been waiting on. But with all that, I hoping I am dead wrong. If it is The Stand what would we be wiling to pay? For me I would go maybe $1750 on the lettered if I make it on time. What would everyone be willing to pay for an "IT quality" version The Stand in numbered? $500? More...less?

I have not read all of the posts on this forum, so I do not know if anyone else has made this guess, and maybe I am off in left field on this, but MY OFFICIAL GUESS is that it is the Best of Cemetery Dance II. It will include one or more stories by King and will be signed by a whole bunch of authors including King. My reasoning for this is that I have heard rumors that this book is in process. I do not think it will be one of the books that PS is doing gift editions of, most of the good old Steven King books have had the special edition treatment. My second choice would be a Mr. Mercedes/Revival combo pack; a two for one deal, but this is not my offcial guess.

In the hope it'll be something new, my official guess is The Fireman by Joe Hill, even though it's not out for aaaaaaages.

It'll probably be Firestarter though.

I doubt it'll be The Flame Alphabet by Ben Marcus.

[crinva02]

I was gonna respond with the followon to The Talisman and Black House, but one other person made that they official guess.

So my official guess is a new book that is a collaboration between Stephen King and Johe Hill! Although I like my first idea oh so much better!

In a way I hope you are right Joe but at the same time...NO! My poor wallet. Hey Brian you guys need like a payment instalment plan for us addicts.

[Joe315]

My official guess is a limited edition of the original release of The Stand.

I don't think this will be a sequel to any of his previous novels as, IMO, one of the big publishers would be releasing it and it would be known already given that this is set for a summer release.

I don't think this will be a lettered edition of Carrie since PS has already announced this. If there were contractual obligations between them and CD they wouldn't have announced this.

I also don't think it will be Firestarter since it's been done already.

And because Brian is saying this is their most important project in a while I don't think this will be Mr. Mercedes, or an unfinished manuscript.

Sorry but you can only have one guess. You need to decide which one to go for...

Ooops...me no read good. I go for a Firestarter sequel, because why not!

[T-Dogz_AK47]

My official guess(es) are a sequel to Firestarter or Carrie. I don't think it will be Firestarter as there is already a limited of that, but a Firestarter sequel, that could be.

"Firestarter: To Hot To Handle" or "Carrie: Girl, You'll be a woman soon." I would be ok with either.

2) One guess per person. Speculate all you want, but you can only have ONE official guess.

Crap! Thanks, Mike, I was still riding the high of making that post (A lot more work went into those finding and manipulating those pics than you might think). Nothing like a crash landing!

Congrats on the anniversary!

You are always at the top of your game brother!! Great post!! However, Dead people are just easier to work with. Thanks, 36 years... three of the best years of her life, and I was Iraq for 18 months of those LOL!!! She's the Best!!
