Cemetery Dance discussion thread

[Brian James Freeman]

I hate to say anything that might sound negative; "disappointing" is not a word I attach to anything I've seen from CD. I think the nature of Night Shift is such that it allowed our imaginations to run away with the possibilities, which were vast, and it's tough for anyone to compete with another's imagination.

I think it would be tough for anyone to compete with MY imagination when it came to ideas for this project. Not everything we dream of is meant to be, but I can definitely understand anyone who is bummed. We tried our best to get some really cool bonus features, for what it's worth. And I am really proud of how the book is coming together in terms of the production!

I meant to post this the other day but time got away from me... I really like the title page for the book:

What's the second piece with the bloody apple supposed to be from?

Mark Stutzman told me it was inspired by "Sometimes They Come Back."

I'm sure the book will be great, please don't get me wrong. I love CD books and other small publishers, and order new books like Gwendy right away. But I'm a reader first and foremost, not a collector, and so I don't buy these for the artwork. I pass on most limited editions unless there's exclusive King fiction. The Shining is one I initially passed on, since I didn't realize it would contain Before the Play and After the Play and all the deleted scenes. I suppose it was a pipe dream to have Night Shift include all those uncollected stories from The Glass Floor to The Crate. Maybe King is planning on a separate volume of these stories, and I'm sure CD would just jump at that opportunity.

I have no doubt CD gave it their best but it is still disappointing news. Of all the books in the Doubleday project Night Shift represented the best opportunity for pulling together all of SK's short stories through 1977, especially those which he has already allowed CD to reprint in other anthologies. This is where SK can be his most baffling and frustrating. He complains about his dislike of limited editions and then allows multiple versions of the same book to be published but balks at allowing Night Shift to be a truly comprehensive collection of his early published works let alone some unpublished stories.

[Papaseraphim]

I am sure King would like to keep the option open to publish all the old uncollected stories in a book of their own.

Maybe that is something that CD can propose to King.

My 2 cents...

Do you guys know if there will be remarques offered for Night Shift? This is my favorite King story collection so I'm hoping so!

Yes, there will be! We know how many sheets the artists had time for and are working on, and we'll be offering the upgrade soon.

Hi Brian,

Will people who purchased the previous remarques in the Doubleday series get advance notice to purchase a remarque upgrade for Night Shift, or will it be a free-for-all?

Just out of curiosity, how many Shining remarque collectors were there? I think I saw an auction on eBay that had a remarqued Shining and it said it was 1 of 100 special editions?

I'm trying to gauge whether or not I'll even have a chance to order one. I assume the number of remarques available is the same for both editions (Shining and Night Shift)? If that's the case it may be pretty tough to get one.

Great question! Glenn Chadbourne had time for 100 art sheets for THE SHINING and he'll be doing the same number for NIGHT SHIFT. Chris Odgers, who provided the creepy interiors for NIGHT SHIFT, was able to make time to 25 sheets.

Thanks for the info Brian. I am not optimistic about my chances, but I can always hope I get a chance.

And when the time comes, how do we order these special Remarqued editions? Do I need to purchase a copy and hope I get it 'upgraded' or do I order an upgraded copy when they come available?

[Brian James Freeman]

The upgrade is offered first to those who already have a copy on order with us.

Thanks Brian, I've always wondered. You learn something new every day

So were all the copies of THE SHINING sent to PS Publishing yet?

I'm still waiting on both my copies from PS, Jeremy.

Hi Brian - will portfolio remarques continued to be offered going forward? I don't do remarques in books and loved getting all the portfolios remarqued so far.
