Cemetery Dance discussion thread

I decided to get a lettered & limited edition. This will be my first lettered book.

[carlosdetweiller]

Brian, I have a couple of books on order through Camelot that are very late in coming and it has been awhile since I have asked for an update. What is the status of the lettered edition of Peter Straub's Sides? The numbered edition appeared in 2008 but I have heard nothing on the lettered.

Same question on the lettered edition of F. Paul Wilson's Sims: Book Five: Thy Brother's Keeper. The numbered edition appeared in 2010 but no word on the lettered for a long time.

Thanks!

We recently hired back our original traycase vendor from years ago, when he reappeared on the scene, which worked out nicely for SIMS 5 because he could match the previous cases he had made. That one should be here in late March.

SIDES should be here this summer. We're using three vendors these days, which is making a big difference on catching up.

Very sorry about the wait on these!

The 'early' CD and Sub Press announcements are usually useless to me since they are always posted when I am at work. A day earlier instead of a few hours would be more convenient for me.

[thegunslinger41]

Me too Becca!! First lettered. Book was awesome.

I loved the book, too, but after all the money spent in 2013, I couldn't get myself to pull the trigger on the Lettered edition. I went for the Limited Edition and am very happy. Congrats, Cemetery Dance, on landing the contract for this hugely popular non-King book!

i second this!!! I would feel better served if i received the information a day or even 1/2 day earlier. I sometimes have meetings, etc... and then see 3 emails and i know something is up!!

Hey Brian, any word on when the Doctor Sleep editions with the Erin Wells remarques are targeted?

John

[Brian James Freeman]

Hey Brian, any word on when the Doctor Sleep editions with the Erin Wells remarques are targeted?

John

We're sending her the next batch next week and we're shipping the books right back out to the collectors as they come in, so hopefully you won't be waiting too much longer. Is yours a Gift Edition or a Limited or a Lettered? Thanks for asking!

I'm figuring out some scheduling right now, so if you're waiting on a remarque, please send me an email with which edition(s) you're getting and I'll try to give you my very best guess of when your book will be done!

Mine is a S/L and I opted for drawings from all three artists. What do you think is the timetable for mine? Thanks.

I'll check and see if Glenn has finished those so they can go to Erin. Will let you know!

For those who missed the news, Screamplays and Smoke & Mirrors are both at the printer and should be done around the end of April. It's hard to describe how large these books are, but they are 400 to 500 pages long and the same trim size as The Secretary of Dreams if that helps. They're going to look amazing.

FYI: The signed Limited Edition of Smoke & Mirrors is signed by Neil Gaiman, William Peter Blatty, Joe Hill, Stewart O'Nan, Frank Darabont, William F. Nolan, Brian Keene & Michael Oliveri, Poppy Z. Brite, Kealan Patrick Burke, Mick Garris, Ray Garton, Joe R. Lansdale, and Richard Chizmar… and we only have a few copies left for reservation.

Yep, arrangements can be made if it ever comes time for a third volume. Nothing is in the works right now, though, unfortunately.

Just got an email about the King mouse pad that was originally part if the CD club offering a while back. I do like it but tad expensive at $30 plus international shipping.

Cool to see these being offered though.

[George at C-Springs]

Grabbed a Lettered Gone Girl. I'd never heard of Gillian Fynn or Gone Girl before this week; apparently it received a lot of press in 2012, but none of it made it across my screen. Still, reading up it looks like it was well received and yes if they make a movie out of it that is of course a bonus. Will have to get a copy of the paperback and read it; if it's good I'll keep the book, if not there will probably be a heightened market for it when the movie comes out.

Also, our box maker closed for the holidays today before they could pack the cases for shipment, so they won't be shipped to us until the new year, unfortunately.

Any update?




Any update?

Shipping next week!

Patience is a virtue! Or so they say. :excited:

[Br!an]

I'd like to thank Mindy and all involved for my replacement Weak and Wounded.

The first copy had a folded end paper. The replacement arrived well packaged, as always, and in pristine condition.

The return is already handled thanks to the preprinted postage paid return label.

I've given a large percentage of my income to Cemetery Dance. :P

One reason is the quality and value of the publications. Another is the quality and value of the people.

This was not a paid endorsement.

what will be the final print run of smoke and mirrors?

[Brian James Freeman]

what will be the final print run of smoke and mirrors?

Limited Edition is 400 and Lettered Edition is 52. We don't usually post trade edition print runs, but I can tell you that -- due to the insane printing cost on both of these books -- they're actually pretty small trade print runs and I cannot ever imagine doing a second printing unless something *really* strange happened and made trade distribution demand skyrocket.

I currently have three separate packages coming from CD right now. Next week is going to be great!

I never cared about slipcases for my SK books until i started getting flat signed books at the SK events and now i am addicted to them. I forgot how many we were waiting on until i look at these boards.

Still waiting on

Doctor Sleep
NOS4A2
and
Mr Mercedes!

I feel the same way. I can't see getting a (relatively) expensive slipcase for a trade edition, but a SIGNED trade is a different story.

I received a shipping notice for the US Doctor Sleep w/slipcase. (Thank you) It seems the UK Doctor Sleep w/slipcase wasn't shipped.

Do you only have the US version?

Shipping the US first and then the UK because we had so many US slipcases and so little room to work. We'll probably be closed the rest of the week due to the storm, though.

UPDATE on the Doctor Sleep UK slipcase:

Now that I look at inventory, we only received half of the cases before the plant closed for their latest vacation. (I think I work in the wrong business.) Anyone who wants their order for the Doctor Sleep UK slipcase to ship in the first batch, please just email me and I'll make it happen! brianfreeman@cemeterydance.com

Thanks!

Now that is customer service!!! awesome!! email sent!!

If you all haven't seen the e-mail, CD just announced a surprise 50% off (of almost everything) sale, expiring at noon EST tomorrow. I took advantage and nabbed a Lettered Smoke & Mirrors for $200!

Also, thanks to Mindy for hooking me up with my long-awaited Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, it came in yesterday.

[Lurker]

I put in an order but it only took 25% off instead of 50%. What's up with that?

You could get books about King. The Dark Tower Companion or the Concordance. There are also King related chapbooks, ebooks, slipcases, artwork, etc..

Did you already order The Dark Man art portfolio? I don't think that's excluded. I really like the 'Salem's Lot print too.

[Ben Staad]

Great offer and it almost got me to pull the trigger on a few purchases.

I'd love to order some slipcases as this is a great deal, but postage to the UK is crazy. $70 for 3 slipcases! thats almost double the cost of the items themselves. These things barely weigh anything.

Mr Mercedes, Revival and TWTTKH

That's actually about right, based off of my rough calculations. The big thing is because two of those are preorders, it calculates each item as a separate package, because most likely they will be shipped in separate packages. It really stinks that the shipping is so high, but that's the USPS constantly raising the costs of shipping.

[ICry4Oy]

Just got the Doctor Sleep trade edition slipcase from CD and it is beautiful! I had not paid attention to any pictures, if there were any, and was surprised at it being so different from the GE slipcase. I like it more than the GE!

I figured that was the case, but I would have been quite happy to wait for all the cases to be available and be shipped together. Too late now though as the deal has ended.

Funny you should mention that. I've been giving it a lot of thought lately and have decided to open all books that I will never sell. I'm waiting on a delivery of Mylar to cover the opened books with and then I'm going to open 1 a week, just to get maximum enjoyment :)

[Brian James Freeman]

Perhaps there will be a sale this fall when all of them might be in-stock? We almost always end up with extras, just because of how the manufacturing process works.

I had enquired a while back about extra dark man slipcase, don't remember if an answer was given, I may have just forgot, lol, still interested in one if there are any extras. Thanks

[Kingfan24]

Do we have any new info on the s/l dark man portfolio?

[Brian James Freeman]

Do we have any new info on the s/l dark man portfolio?

A brand new prototype is in production. We realized that the last two designs would have eventually and inadvertently damaged a couple of pieces of the artwork on the bottom of the stack. With 100 pieces of art, the stack is something like 1.5 inches thick, so we had to go back to the drawing board for an entirely new design to spread the weight around differently and protect all of the art. It has not been an easy process, and had we realized it would take this many tries to get this right, we wouldn't have announced the portfolio when we did. But this last prototype should be ready by the end of March and if it does the job, they'll be off to the races!

Brian

[Jimimck]

Thanks Brian. Sounds like its going to be another great innovation from CD. Looking forward to mine.

[webstar1000]

I am really excited to get this. 1.5 inches thick!!! Wow I really think this will be an exceptional production once complete. Can't wait!

Yes and no. I have what appears to be two very damaged boxes of cases. That said we have been so busy since they came that there has been no time to go through them and sort out the good from the bad. It's one of many things that is on my "when there's time" to do list. Once there's time to sort that out and make products for the website, I'll make sure to post here and let everyone know.

Will we be able to order the anniversary Carrie from PS Publishing through Cemetery Dance?

[Brian James Freeman]

Will we be able to order the anniversary Carrie from PS Publishing through Cemetery Dance?

Yep, down the road. We are getting the same number of copies, but we're still waiting on the rest of our copies of PET SEMATARY to arrive before we offer Carrie. (Pete started shipping our order to us in December, finished at the end of January, and we're still short what we're expecting due to the slow transit times.)

We will email the PET SEMATARY customers about CARRIE when we're ready to put the page on the site, but we want to get all of our PET SEMATARY business concluded first.

Brian

[becca69]

Did you find the missing numbers of PS? Will we be able to do a trade if you have them?

[Brian James Freeman]

Did you find the missing numbers of PS? Will we be able to do a trade if you have them?

Still working on that! We thought a dealer had a block of numbers from our batch, but he was mistaken. That said, Pete is sure he sent us all of our numbers and we're still waiting on books to arrive. (He started shipping to us back in December, but didn't finish shipping our order until the end of January, and transit time seems to be around 5 weeks) So we're watching as each new box trickles in and checking against the list. I'm still very hopeful they will show up!

Brian

[Dan]

Brian found my missing number Pet Semetery and it is shipping to me! I buy from CD because they have great books and excellent customer service!

[Randall Flagg]

Another THRILLED customer.
Brian, and everyone at CD have stepped up to not only deliver the most exciting things, but also in close to real time (not a tweet, text, twert etc.) answer questions.

[webstar1000]

I have to say too RF that Mindy has been a delight and a big help getting me my matching Dark Man Portfolio! It was a little hard for me to order since I am in Canada and you cannot add your postal and she still gave me the 50% a week later when they were back in the office after the huge storm. I love their work!

[cit74]

PS just sent out their newsletter about Carrie - does this mean that it'll be up for order on the CD site soon?

Brian, what's the usual wait time for a refund? I emailed about Pure and Shocklines a couple days ago. Thanks.

[Brian James Freeman]

Brian, what's the usual wait time for a refund? I emailed about Pure and Shocklines a couple days ago. Thanks.

It varies. Usually a day or two. Mindy was out sick for a couple of days this week, so you might not hear back for a little bit longer. She gets something like 200 to 300 emails a day at the order@ address from customers, so when she misses a few days, it takes a little bit of time to catch-up. But she will be in touch! And if you don't hear from her on Monday, let me know and she'll check her spam folder, etc.

Brian

[WeDealInLead]

Thanks. I wasn't too worried really.

Brian, long shot, but do you know if you have any of the US trade slipcases for Doctor Sleep left? I just picked up a signed 1st and would love a case for it.

Thanks,

We might! We need to give the foreign shipments another week to make sure we don't need our extras to replace damages, etc, but I would think we'll have some.

Just to try to give an idea of the size of this book, here are the DJ bluelines of Smoke & Mirrors with a finished copy of Turn Down the Lights:

If you imagine a copy of The Secretary of Dreams, only with approximately twice as many pages, that'll give you an idea.

Just wondering about the price increase for Carrie? And also how long do we have to order matching #s?

[DanHocker]

Just wondering about the price increase for Carrie? And also how long do we have to order matching #s?

We are getting such a small discount that once we figured out how much it was costing us to ship them from overseas that we realized we where not making any money on them. So to continue carrying the line of books we needed to charge a little more.

As far as the matching numbers go, if you've already placed your order you pretty much have until our copies arrive, but we typically suggest putting in your request ASAP. If you haven't placed your order yet you only have as long as we still have copies available to sell, though I'm sure we'll be able to work something out if someone misses the window who has order the previous ones from us.

[Brian James Freeman]

And also how long do we have to order matching #s?

Yeah, in terms of getting your order in, I don't plan on emailing anyone other than the Pet Sematary customers about Carrie for a little while, so unless someone stumbles across the page on the site at random (it's not even listed in the category), these'll be there for the Pet Sematary customers to order for a while. At some point Rich will want to get the rest sold, but there's some time before that.

I've just read a french canadian book that was great and would be PERFECT for Cemetery Dance. But since it's in french and would require translation JUST for reading the story, I guess that it's very unlikely that CD would even consider foreign texts...

LE BUS, by Madeleine Robitaille.
"A normal hot day, a journey on a bus, what of more normal? Among the 30 passengers, nobody imagine that they go straight to an unknown destination : HELL. No-one? Actually, Mia begged her mother to delay her departure. But why paying attention to the bad dream of a little girl?"

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51IVXlVSUjL._.jpg

Same thoughts about a short story written by Maxime Chattam (the french author that was on stage with Steve in november, in France).
LE FRACAS DE LA VIANDE CHAUDE (lit : the roar of the warm flash). Some kind of an horrible murder story...

Brian, SMOKE AND MIRRORS looks great!


Those sounds interesting, HW. Any idea why they would use a picture of a family-sized VW bus when the description says there were 30 passengers?

While looking at the bluelines for SCREAMPLAYS, I noticed the spine measurement for the DJ is 1.63 inches! This is going to be a big book...!

My guess!
All customers who have bought Stephen King S/L in the past will get a lifetime subscription to all future related SK books!

[Dan]

I have a guess, but won't post it unless Dan or Brian don't care.

[skyofcrack]

As long as it has nothing to do with Chadbourne... :rolleyes2:

It has fire in the pic so maybe a deluxe Firestarter. 35th anniversary coming up in 2015...

[Brian James Freeman]

I have a guess, but won't post it unless Dan or Brian don't care.

Fire away. We won't be able to confirm or deny, of course...!

Is the project going to be put on sale on the 7th? (thus possibly selling out in hours leaving me without a copy, unless I have my ducks in a row?)

It will be available for preorder late on the morning of the 7th, eastern time. I don't have an exact time yet, but before noon is the goal so we can coordinate with another website that needs to post the news.

[CyberGhostface]

Hmm, I wonder if it's an SK book just because at minimum I can't think of any other books of his that would be a bigger deal than something like their IT book that haven't already been made into a LE already. Kind of hope it isn't just because I really can't afford one atm.

[Merlin1958]

Mr. Mercedes Gift Edition

I agree. Perhaps a S/L as well?

[tippy4]

Mr. Mercedes Gift Edition

I would say no, as Brian has described it as "one of our most important projects in a very long time. "

I can't imagine a gift edition of Mr. Mercedes would be that much different from the recently produced gift edition of Doctor Sleep.

In four years, CD will celebrate it's 30th Anniversary....perhaps they are gearing up for The Best of CD Volume 2.

All I know is my wallet is cursing CD right now.

Are there any long time projects that CD have yet to finish/start etc that could be a surprise announcement?

[Papaseraphim]

How about a multi-volume deluxe set of all the early Bachman books? I know King doesn't want Rage reprinted, but what about a 4 volume matching set of Road Work, Long Walk, Running Man and Thinner?

That's my guess!

Depends on your definition -- it was written before Carrie. (Blaze, that is)

[Ben Mears]

Limited editions of Sword In The Darkness and The Cannibals would be a welcome announcement!

[Bev Vincent]

There's The Aftermath, too, which is a short novel (50,000 words)

[Bev Vincent]

From Wiki:

Sword in the Darkness is the title of an unpublished novel. It is the longest of King's unpublished works, at approximately 485 pages (150,000 words) in length. Upon its completion in April 1970, it was rejected by twelve publishers. King has said that he now considers it unpublishable and intends for it never to be released to the public. The book's plot includes a character dealing with the suicide of his pregnant sister and the death of his mother from a brain tumor, and another character, a black activist lawyer, who incites a riot after speaking at a local high school. In 2006, a lengthy excerpt from the book was published in Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished, by Rocky Wood et al. (Cemetery Dance Publications, March 2006). The excerpt related the back-story of one character, a teacher named Edie Rowsmith. It is effectively a stand-alone horror-story in the style of the early Stephen King.

[Papaseraphim]

Thanks Bev!

Wow.. very cool. I imagine it is not that bad... I mean Doubleday refused Rage... Since he was an unknown they probably hardly gave it a look. Love for it to be something like that... What is The Cannibals?

...and was then rejected for limited edition publication by SK in 2009.

[Bev Vincent]

The Cannibals is an unfinished book he worked on while filming Creepshow. It's the same concept as Under the Dome except people are trapped in an apartment complex instead of a town. As you might guess from the title, people have a different solution to the running-out-of-food problem. King published the first chapters of it on his website around the time UtD came out.

Mmm. I don't think it'll be, Bill. The last time CD mentioned they'll be doing one of the best projects ever, it turned out to be IT 25th anniversary, and even when I like the SOD volumes, none can be compared with the INCREDIBLE editions they produced of IT. Not even close!

[Bad Penny]

Hmm ... If it's open to speculation ... how's about a joint venture Carrie 40th Anniversary S/L between CD and ... say ... PS Publishing (it's been done before) ... the Doubleday publication date was April 5th, 1974, which, this year, is a Saturday, which likely doesn't sit well as a "major announcement" sort of day, commercially speaking, so why not carry it over to the next business day, being April 7th (which is also my birthday - which leads me to believe this supposition is wholly a figment of my imagination generated by my wanting a really, really cool BD present this year) :smile:

[herbertwest]

OMG... if this is Dark Tower related... I am going to shit my pants. I have read no other books as much as these.... but saying that... would not any major announcement about something of that scope come from King himself though?

[herbertwest]

Any Dark Tower book announcement would more likely be related to Grant and not CD.

To Quote Brian from the CD forums.


The morning of, by a little bit. This is one of those announcements where we can't really tell anyone ahead of time due to contractual obligations about coordinating the announcement, but the CDCC will be the first email we send out, so they'll be notified before the big list of 30,000 people starts (which takes 2 hours to send completely!) and before we post on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Either way, it's cool! I just figured CD ordered from SP prior to that date and they'd get one for each book. I ordered it from CD well before that date.

[herbertwest]

It was brought to my attention that CARRIE was published on April 5th (supposedly), which is a saturday this year.
But what IF Carrie was indeed published on the 7th?

HOWEVER, it wouldnt make much sense since PS Publishing already has a 40 years anniversary edition?

[subie09lega]

Maybe combining forces a la Book of Horrors?

[bdwyer19]

From Richard Chizmar's Facebook page - "three deals for eight books turned into four deals for 11 books". This should be some big announcement on April 7th.

[Randall Flagg]

From Richard Chizmar's Facebook page - "three deals for eight books turned into four deals for 11 books". This should be some big announcement on April 7th.

[mistercrowley]

I'm thinking King for Mr Mercedes and Revival, Gillian Flynn and that's all I can guess at the moment. Maybe Koontz?

[Cook]

My April 7th guess (wish list):

Carrie S/L'd
Pet Sematary S/L'd
Revival S/L'd - artwork by Mark Stutzman
Mr. Mercedes S/L'd

All using new artists except for Revival, I think Mark Stutzman would be perfect.
To me it seems we keep using the same artists over & over, again & again.

[RC65]

My April 7th guess (wish list):

Carrie S/L'd


I can't imagine they'd release this in the same general time frame (i.e. within a year or so) time-frame that PS Publishing is coming out with theirs. Not only would it be bad form, but surely PS had some sort of exclusivity for a limited CARRIE in their contract w/ King, even if it's not a signed (by King) edition.

[herbertwest]

Btw, we still didn't hear back from PS Publishing regarding their "BIG surprise" for the CARRIE limited edition?
Maybe this is what will be revealed on the 7th, something both by PS & CD related to CARRIE?

[Ari_Racing]

This is just my opinion, but don't you think that CD would have revealed the news if it had to do with PS Publishing's Carrie? It must be something else and BIGGER.

[WeDealInLead]

Brian, what's the usual wait time for a refund? I emailed about Pure and Shocklines a couple days ago. Thanks.

It varies. Usually a day or two. Mindy was out sick for a couple of days this week, so you might not hear back for a little bit longer. She gets something like 200 to 300 emails a day at the order@ address from customers, so when she misses a few days, it takes a little bit of time to catch-up. But she will be in touch! And if you don't hear from her on Monday, let me know and she'll check her spam folder, etc.

Close to a month and still nothing. I followed up a week after posting here, I the sent complete order information and what the books were. Mindy answered promptly and said she'll have to research it (or look it up, I can't remember). That was two weeks ago. I know she deals with hundreds of emails but mine shouldn't be too hard to find. The books titles and "refund" are in the subject.

Can you PM me your name? I sometimes get confused about people's real names vs their board names, and Mindy can't find the email about a refund for Pure and Shocklines. She must have received it since she replied, but she can't find it now, so she's not sure what happened. But if you PM me your name, we'll jump on it, find the email, and get this fixed immediately. Sorry about the delay!

Brian, for the big news coming, regardless of what it is, can you please NOT use marbled paper that leaks colour on to tray cases and please do NOT send them out with damage....

How about a 35th anniversary edition of The Dead Zone. It's an early King classic that hasn't had the signed limited treatment!

Easton Press released it already.

[mistercrowley]

Skeleton Crew was already done as a signed limited and that's not stopping ps publishing from doing a "anniversary" edition. Same with Christine

Easton Press's edition wasn't signed by King.

Are you able to at least tell us if the April 7 announcement will be for a lengthy pre-order, or is it something that will be ready to ship in the not-too-distant future?

Update !

My April 7th guess (wish list):

Carrie S/L'd
Pet Sematary S/L'd - artwork by Darek Kocurek
Revival S/L'd - artwork by Mark Stutzman
Mr. Mercedes S/L'd

All using new artists except for Revival, I think Mark Stutzman would be perfect.
To me it seems we keep using the same artists over & over, again & again.
Added Darek Kocurek for Pet Sematary (03-26-14)

As a side note: DTorger Harrison Ryan is also a fantastic "new artist" candidate.

[bdwyer19]

Brian/Dan - Excellent work with Doctor Sleep! #229 was at my door last night, with a fantastic remarque by Erin Wells. I absolutely love the white slipcase.

Hey Brian, are we still on track for the April publication date of smoke and mirrors? Pretty excited about this one!

Everything has been approved at the printer without issue, so it should be here around the end of April!

If anyone is interested, I'm running one of my informal, unofficial contests over in the CD forum thread about the April 7th announcement. It's free to enter the contest, of course, so swing on over and post your guess if you'd like:

Brian,
I gotta tell you I am disappointed with the new CD slipcases. I don't think someone did their homework.
If you compare the new ones to the ones you all produced before, the new ones are 1/2 inch shorter.
Your issue #'s like 51-54 must have been a different printer and they don't fit the boxes! Also, I like to
board/bag my magazines, I've got four boxes of the original size with boarded/bagged magazines going back
to vol. 2 but I can't use boards with the new boxes unless I trim them very short and it's still tight.
This is the stuff that drives collectors batty.
thanks.

Yep, that's why replacement cases are already in production and you just need to email Mindy about how to return the improperly sized cases. Her email address is order@cemeterydance.com if you don't have it handy.

My guess

Stephen King named his pseudonym Richard Bachman after one of his favorite bands, Bachman Turner Overdrive (BTO)

On "April 7, 1988" BTO released a Greatest Hits Live CD called "King" Biscuit Flower Hour Archive Series

There have also been "7" Bachman books released so far, the 7th being a novel called "Blaze"

King mentioned in the introduction to "Blaze" that Bachman was the man using the name John Swithen (Swithen is a character in "Carrie"). John Swithen was the name of King's second pseudonym, a name he published the story "The Fifth Quarter" under in Cavalier magazine magazine in "April" of 1972.

BTO's first studio album was leased in 1973, the same year King sold the rights to publish Carrie, which was itself published on 4/5/1974.

All of this leaves me with a conundrum. Is the announcement about Blaze? Carrie? Or perhaps, Blaze and Carrie?

Because Carrie is already getting the anniversary treatment from PS Publishing I am making my "Official Guess" BLAZE!

[Ben Staad]

I was thinking about Blaze as well however I'm not sure if I would consider that an important project. It's cool but probably not that important.

[herbertwest]

I posted the following on the CD forum :


My official guess : although PS Publishing is dealing with the 40 years anniversary of CARRIE, it seems to be one of the biggest project dealt by CD.
PS Publishing has announced a big surprise related to Carrie, but we still dont know what that is.
Furthermore, the 7th of april is the working day that just follows April 5th, which is, i think the supposed official release date of CARRIE.

>>> I would say that it's all related.
Maybe the lettered edition of CARRIE, 40 years anniversary, that is still not officially announced is done as a partnership between CD & PS?

I don't think so. There will only be 26 copies of the Lettered edition of Carrie. CD wouldn't make such a huge announcement for only 26 books being available that are solely targeted to the super rich that can afford to spend $1,000+ on a book. :eek:

[herbertwest]

I agree, but everything seems to point towards something like this, i think.. but that would be odd

I always thought the "big surprise" was the lettered edition.


I see a lot of guesses for Firestarter over on the CD forums. As good a guess as any.
I'm hoping it's one of the older books rather than Mr. Mercedes or Revival.

[becca69]

I just signed up today and posted but it hasn't shown up yet. I guessed The Bachman Books, including Blaze.

[biomieg]

I have not read the announcements so perhaps I'm completely off-track, but was it specifically stated that this will be a reprint? Why wouldn't it be a completely new novel?

[webstar1000]

And more than one author with multiple books...

[biomieg]

Yeah, that's what I heard and that's why I was thinking: why would the 'big announcement' be a reprint? Sounds to me like CD landed the rights to produce a couple of new books by several authors including King. But again - I may have missed some obvious hint because I did not follow the news.

[Merlin1958]

Sorry, Brian but you folks will be totally blown away by the new announcement on Wednesday, 4/2/14!!!













You may all return to your regularly scheduled programming.

And as Ari reminded us, CD now owns the uncompleted manuscript of "Phil and Sundance"
Less than a week to go now :)

Most people have concluded that this involves Stephen King based upon it being "one of our most important projects in a very long time." That phrase seems to mean it is as or more important than The Dark Man or Doctor Sleep limiteds.

The release date is late summer which seemingly precludes a new novel by SK. A reprint/anniversary issue is a good possibility. A release in book/limited form of previously published or unpublished material such as an early works collection would be cool and follows in the steps of The Dark Man.

Brian mentioned that projects from new contracts usually aren't announced for months or years. Of course it could still have something to do with that.

That would be interesting! It would be even more interesting if it was completed and published!

If it's worth publishing... completed by Joe Hill and voila :)

Richard just said on facebook that they are signing some contracts with authors this week...

[WeDealInLead]

I can't guess what the announcement will be but I'd love for CD (or anyone else really) to publish proper limited editions of some of King's back catalogue. Different Seasons, Misery, Bag of Bones, Duma Key...
