I'm not very current on collectibles but noticed tonight that DRP is publishing a limited of Bird Box by Josh Malerman. Did anyone get in on this? I had thought DRP had some issues in the last few years but it sounds like a nice edition.

Looking for Mister Slaughter S/L #78
I've been passively collecting David J. Schow and Brian Hodge. Both collections are nearly complete. I've managed to rid myself of the need to have complete bibliographies by my favourite authors if they have duds or books I simply don't like. I'll never own a complete Schow set because his novels don't do it for me, both thrillers and horror. Ditto Hodge. His two thrillers were fine books but nothing that blew me away.
Gaiman - I'd rather have syphilis poured into my eyes then suffer his Choo books again. Ellison - I stick with his "fantastical" works.
Possibly something of interest coming soon (Sep 5, next Wednesday) from Folio Society. On that date, they'll announce their fall collection of 19 books, at least some of which (and possibly just one) will be horror.
Possibilities (per speculation of knowledgeable FS readers) include: The Haunting Of Hill House, Peter Straub's Ghost Story (I'd like to see what they could do with this), Red Dragon, Rosemary's Baby, The Woman In Black, and a Poe collection.
Speaking of Poe (and I may have mentioned this months ago), there's another collection that looks quite nice from Ethereal Visions Publishing (https://www.evpub.info/product-page/...inated-edition). This was originally a Kickstarter project, but is now up for general sale (shipping in October). The introductory price is $85; it's supposed to revert to $125 or $150 on the evening of Sep 9 (I don't know why they are doing it quite this way). I really like this but may not be picking it up (not sure yet).
Some info:
8" x 10" hardcover
280 pages
60+ illustrations (some color, some b/w)
Gilded page edges (3 sides)
The illustrations are very impressive; if you like Poe at all, I suggest you click the link above and take a look.

As expected, only one title in Folio society's "fall 2018" collection is horror:

I copied this into the King thread too. thanks for posting.

I just saw that Centipede will be doing The Book of Skulls by Robert Silverberg. Tis a good day.
That's the one I'm waiting for, too. That will sell out *fast*, I'm betting.

Amaranthine Books (https://amaranthinebooks.com/), who created a set of two editions of The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde (https://amaranthinebooks.com/product/jh-set/) (which I'd thought I'd posted about somewhere on DT but can't find at the moment), has announced their next book: Dracula.
You can see a pic of what they are shooting for at http://www.mojzabastart.hr/home/projekt-dracula, but the text is entirely in Croatian (Amaranthine is a Croatian company).
Some info from their e-mail:
I love what they did with J&H; I love Dracula and can't wait to see what they do with it.Amaranthine Books’ next title is the one and only: Dracula by Bram Stoker!
I know there have been several rumours about our next title and, truth be told, Dracula wasn’t really in the plan back then. But we had a “eureka” moment a few months back that led to a great idea, so we pushed back all other possible titles for a later release and started working on Dracula instead. The idea is simple — pretty much everyone knows that Dracula is sensitive to light (it doesn’t kill him though), so we’ve decided to make the covers and all the illustrations photosensitive with the use of phosphorescent colours — yes, they will glow in the dark (and in low light)!
FYI, here's a video showing the black "Mr. Hyde" edition of J&H:

An amazing book is in the works by the French mini-publisher, SuperTerrain (the book will be in English):
A version of Fahrenheit 451 in which all the pages are black and you have to apply heat to get the text to appear!
More information and pre-ordering here:
http://www.superterrain.fr/f451/en/
The need 150 pre-orders by the end of the year to move forward with production. If they don't receive enough pre-orders, they'll refund everyone's money. I really, really want this book to get made so I hope some more folks will jump on the bandwagon!
I normally don't love when publishers fund books this way, but I would consider SuperTerrain more of an art collective that happens to make some print material, and not a publisher, as such. They've not published any novels before, as far as I know - most of what they do is explore and experiment with ink and paper and different printing techniques. I have a couple of their pamphlets/magazines and they're pretty neat
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
I am really tempted to get this. My fear though is when I burn the pages, will they ever return to black or is it a one trick pony? If they go back I will definitely get it but if it's just a one time deal, that's a lot for a copy of a book.
