Cemetery Dance Publications Announcement Scheduled For April 7, 2014

[TJCams]

Brian - and I am sure that's the case with this announcement. I do suspect the "fire" related to the special site is part of this. With Firestarter being a 1980 release, my guess is a 35th anniversary ed, similar to what happened with It (although that was before my time here), for 2015 publication date (as T-Dogz mentioned on page 1). It adds up to me like that. Even The Dark Man - was tagged as "something dark is coming....".

I could be totally wrong and way off base - it does happen sometimes.

Keep in mind that we're signing deals right now for books that won't be announced, let alone published, until 2015 and 2016. So any deals we're signing this month may have absolutely nothing to do with the announcement.

I wouldn't mind if it was not-King either. I like my King, however there are a lot of good authors out there that would make some awesome CD limited type run editions. Although, I am pretty sure this is a King announcement in the making.

It's going to be both. A Stephen King announcement is pretty much nailed on, but it looks very much like it's going to also be a multi book deal of some sorts featuring other authors. So everyone is happy!

Maybe it's The Stand.

It's my #1 King-book, but one limited is enough. Plus, that edition can never be topped.
I prefer something different.
Something not-King even...

Of the new version. I don't know if there's one of the 1978 edition.

I don't think there is one but I thought I read some where that King considers the uncut release the definitive version. This makes me think that he won't permit an s/l of the original. Would be awesome though.

As long as it's the original version...that's been OOP since 1990.

That would be awesome! Although with a pretty awesome limited edition already out there I don't think this will happen.

That was my thought as well. The trades for those have already been announced.

Quick thought: if the announcement is going to be a signed limited of Revival or Mr. Mercedes, why would there be contractual agreements in regards to coordinating announcements, since both of the regular editions have already been announced by their publisher? Makes me think it might be something other than those two books. Any thoughts?

S&S were responsible for initially charging $500 for the Pop-up Limited Edition of The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, then getting greedy and constantly raising the price until it reached a staggering $1,000 for a 14 page book. Not only was this an exercise of corporate greed in the extreme, the $1,000 Limited Edition had only one extra pop at the very front, otherwise the interior of the book was almost identical to the trade edition. It was an absolute piss take!!

Knowing this, I cannot say that the prospect of CD getting in bed with S&S is making me overly excited...

Brother, I Love the way you rage against the machine! Keep fighting the good fight!

They did say they had to coordinate announcements on April 7th. If this coordination is with S&S have they done any anniversary editions of Kings work?

I like the Bachman Books idea, but I expect he would still not allow Rage to be reprinted.

Exactly what I was thinking considering he took that out of print last year. Luckily I already had a copy of it. Still need to read Rage though
