My full Wanted List
Hi folks -- I just posted a note on a different thread (heck, all this stuff is like Venusian to me) to let everyone know that the order page for the 10th anniversary edition of Joe's 20TH CENTURY GHOSTS will be going up in the next two weeks or so. Current thinking is three editions: a signed 26-copy lettered; a signed 100-copy illustrated slipcased edition; and an unsigned 500 copy slipcased edition. Each state will have a different piece of artwork from Vinny Chong (and believe me, this stuff from Vinny is some of the greatest work he's done to date). I already mentioned the bound-in DVD, I think--but anyway, full info (be it exactly as I just laid it out or subtly, enigmatically and enticingly different) will be on the order page. Best wishes to one and all -- Pete Crowther
Is the unsigned one still at £25?

Hey Cyber -- too early to say what the various prices--and indeed the finally decided print runs-- will be. But I'd guess the unsigned slipcased edition will be more that £25 (the unsigned editions of Stephen's titles are £60, for instance, and that run is almost 1,000 copies). Anyway, we'll just have to wait for our costings to be completed. Best wishes -- Pete
Thanks for the update Pete! Saving my dough for this one.
This is on PS' newsletter. You can now order 10th anniversary of 20th Century Ghosts.
First up, anyone out there heard of this cat Joe Hill?
Yeah, of course you have. And I’ll bet ya heard of Joe’s Ray Bradbury’s Fellowship award for the story ‘20th Century Ghost’ and maybe you heard he also received the William L. Crawford award for best new fantasy writer in 2006, the A. E. Coppard Long Fiction Prize in 1999 for ‘Better Than Home’ and the 2006 World Fantasy Award for ‘Voluntary Committal’. His stories have appeared in a variety of magazines, such as Postscripts, Subterranean Magazine and The High Plains Literary Review, and in many anthologies.
Well, it’s 10 years since, overloaded to the back teeth with projects, CD Head Honcho Richard Chizmar sent Joe our way to ask if PS might be interested in publishing his collection of tales, wrapped around the title of that Bradbury Fellowship story. On the night Joe responded to my suggestion that he send me his three best yarns, I read ‘Ghost’, ‘Pop Art’ (sheer genius and containing a killer closing line) and, heck, you know, I don’t recall the third one. I do recall dropping him a line first thing the next morning and asking for a phone number and I called and we spoke and we made a deal and, well, you know the rest—20TH CENTURY GHOSTS, GUNPOWDER, HORNS, plus a little something special just down the pike that we’ll talk about a little later. But before that, just to re-whet your whistle, here’s the 10th Anniversary edition of the book that started the ball rolling and which notched up in quick succession the World Fantasy Award, the British Fantasy Award, the International Horror Guild Award and the Bram Stoker Award.
We’re doing three states:
a 26-copy lettered and traycased edition signed by Joe and artist Vinny Chong, plus the two directors of the short films (‘Abraham’s Boys’ directed by Dorothy L. Street; and ‘Pop Art’ directed by Amanda Boyle) included on DVD, priced at £495;
a 200-copy edition signed by Joe and Vinny and housed in an illustrated slipcase priced at £125; and
a 774-copy unsigned trade edition priced at just £35 and housed in a plain material slipcase, split between alternative dustjacket, PPC and endpapers (thereby giving you all the artwork if you buy both).
On the regular unsigned edition, there will be four pieces of Vinny Chong’s stunning artwork. On the deluxe slipcased and traycased editions, there will be five pieces plus a set of seven cards bearing all of the Vinny Chong artwork.
Lucky to see the newsletter in time, got my order in for one copy of each edition incl. the lettered. The first lettered Joe Hill edition to add to my collection, Psyched!

I went for the signed S/L. Cool...
No link for s/l. Did it really sell out that fast?

Yes no link to the 200 S/L, it's not listed on the search on the website either.

Ordered the S/L. I asked to match the number to my original s/l of 200. Also both unsigned versions. Seems a slight misunderstanding of the total number. One place says 974 the other says 500. Also, it says signed by Pete Von Sholley and Stephen Jones in one place and unsigned in another on the trade edition.
Yep, just emptied out my Paypal account for the S/L. I don't have any of his other S/Ls, so I had to get this one! Now, the waiting begins...
I went for the S/L too. Lettered edition was tempting, but can't justify the cost at the moment.
Wanted:
Michael Whelan & DT Original Art
I am not a fan of anniversary editions so i will pass....
Do we really need TWO TRADE editions? Wtf.
Just figured I'd ask, what does PPC stand for?
Great art for the covers. I'm happy with the theater one for the trade cover, it looks beautiful. Just ordered mine.
