Cemetery Dance Publications Announcement Scheduled For April 7, 2014

[dnemec]

I have a headache from thinking about this and a neck ache from staring at my books shelves, so I'm throwing in my guess. After much thought and deliberation (have you ever noticed how much King uses fire?!), I have decided that I think it is a S/L of The Bachman Books WITH Rage. I know how King feels about the book, but that's why it would be so very extra-special. Rage is first in the omnibus and starts with a locker fire, and The Running Man is the final book and it ends with fire raining down for blocks.

And who better to do such a special book than Cemetery Dance?

My official longshot guess is a s/l hardcover set of the early Richard Bachmann books(minus Rage of course).

They are short enough to release as one volume or individually in one slipcase.

[Br!an]

My official guess is a S/L of Stephen King's first published story in Startling Mysteries. The Glass Floor. Followed my The REapers Image. Stephen King is feeling nostalgic about his career and CD is "thinking" outside the box for projects and did a great job on The Dark Man.

Thanks for the prize (in advance)!

I like that! I'm not sure you're right, but I like it.

Considering the hype this announcements create, I can't think it'd be other author than Steve King.

Now even when it could be Secretary of Dreams 3, I remember the first volume had some big teases but not the second one. The last time we had such a big tease it was for IT 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION.

BUT, at the same time, we also had a major tease before Blockade Billy was anounced, and this last book WAS PUBLISHED before Scribner released a larger printing. So it can be reduced to three things: An anniversary edition (this narrows the options to a couple of books, since I can't imagine a 16th anniversary edition of a book ), a S/L of a book that didn't have one before, or a completely new book.

I'd think it's Carrie, since it had an April release, 40th anniversary, but...nope. Somehow I don't see a publisher that has a relationship with PS Publishing doing a S/L of a book they're releasing on the same year.

Okay...enough rambling. This is my official guess:

Needful Things S/L. The image of the announcement made me remember the sign at the store and the fire, well...those who read the book know Leland's plans.

This is my official guess based both on what I really, really want and timing. If CD did actually manage to land a contract for these it would be amazing:


Carrie: Signed Limited 40th Anniversary Edition & Gift Edition (2014)
Bachman Books: Signed Limited 30th Anniversary Edition and Gift Edition (2015)

Much like Billstand, my official guess will be Carrie however I think it will be a series of books (whatever CD could nab) by Stephen King put into graphic novel format. Like the gunslinger books. And over the longer term they will gradually be released much like the Bentley Little books.

But in reality, I have no freakin' idea and throwing a dart at the board like a local weatherman.

[jhanic]

My guess would be a gift and signed limited of King's upcoming Revival.

I am going with a 35th anniversary edition of The Dead Zone as my official guess. The the other two books that would fit the teaser Firestarter has a limited and Carrie has one being done this year by P.S., thus the dates and image line up for The Dead Zone!

[billstand]

OK, here's my official guess:

CD HC reissue project similar to the Bentley Little reissue project. Fire could indicate Carrie being first.

[Ben Staad]

My offical guess is one of Kings unfinished and early works called The Aftermath. This is shot in the dark but to publish one of Kings early and (as far as we now) unfinished works would be an amazing announcement.

*Plus the fire in the add may indicate something to do with nuclear war?

[Brian James Freeman]

Maybe the next time, Brian will "hint" us with the title and let US try to guess the author. Yeah, that's it!!

[Joe315]

I'd say based on Brian's comments it is.

[Highbury]

Firestarter S/L with a bottle of Kerosene signed by King.
Just kidding.

Is it basically confirmed that it has to do with Stephen King?
