The Collectible Clive Barker

[Merlin1958]

yes and no - even if i never analysed that feeling.

Its more, that i like the moment when you realize that you got something, that is sold out, and it was difficult to get it , and you had to be fast, and there in the correct time frame.
That feels great - its just an emotional collectors thing, but it does.

When you then get the email 2 days later that they just made 200 more and you can have as much as you want,
you feel betrayed because they took this feeling from you.

sounds strange ? maybe ... but i like collecting books, and i like that little success

So, basically....

Spoiler:

Gotta be fresh from the fight!! LOL

[WeDealInLead]

No, it's not strange. I got it now.

Hey Guys,
since 2003 i carry this tortoured souls figures with me - searching for a place to display them but never removed them from the box.
They are 12" and Lucidique is the the collectors club edition (this edition was only available through the club , what wonder) and is extra bloody/covered in blood
compared to the "store" edition. I think this run was limited to 250. Scythe is the regular edition.

FInaly when i saw that they will now (11 years later) be the protagonists in the new barker, and i still have no space, i want to offer them.
Maybe somebody in interested - then drop me a PM.

I heard that the art was previously used in older editions of Books of Blood. It's really not to my liking. I'm a little confused and what exactly is different between the two editions other than the tray case. Seems like a lot of money for not very much

PM if interested.

Earthling will published THE SCARLET GOSPELS deluxe edition

I am thrilled to announce that Earthling has acquired the rights to publish the limited, signed, deluxe edition of Clive Barker's THE SCARLET GOSPELS. As a well-established publisher of Clive's work, most recently having published an oversized anniversary edition of his epic dark fantasy WEAVEWORLD, we are thrilled to be doing this project that features two of Clive's iconic characters, Pinhead and Harry D'Amour. Earthling published a deluxe edition of THE HELLBOUND HEART, which "gave birth" to the Cenobites, so it seems only fitting for us to publish a novel that will likely see the death of Pinhead. Clive calls GOSPELS "a HORROR NOVEL with the graphic violence and perverse eroticism of the most intense tales from the Books of Blood." Details regarding print run, design, and special features will be announced and ordering will commence by January 1, 2015.

Sounds interesting

Sub Press has lettered copies of Books of Blood available while they last.

The Earthling Limited version of The Scarlet Gospels is available for preorder now. Though it's $250 and no gift edition, so I won't be getting it. It has an extra story with it so it definitely has something cool and worth it.

[ajw2910]

Just ordered mine. Haven't spent that much on a non-Stephen King book in a while, but it sounds like it should be a good one!

[swintek]

I pulled the trigger on Earthling's Scarlet Gospels as well (through Camelot- who graciously lets you pay upon the book actually in hand and shipping to you), but I have a couple of questions:

-I stopped reading his sprawling interview updates at his site more than a year ago, but I seem to remember awhile back that he had gotten so overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of this book that he had enlisted someone else to "help assemble" it...? Does anyone know anything about that? Also, I thought that the reason for that is that he had amassed an insane amount of manuscript pages, and this was supposed to be his ultimate epic, massive exploration of hell... I just saw the ARC on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Clive-Ba...84405495&rt=nc

...it looks like 200 or so pages here... any thoughts or knowledge out there on this?

I have an ARC on the way to me, I'll let y'all know what I think. The only person I know that's read it thought it was horrible. And he's a big Barker fan.

For anyone interested, it looks like you can pre-order a US or UK signed trade of THE SCARLET GOSPELS from Clive's site:
LINK

On which edition to get - “Following the flag” is a book-collecting fashion that favors the first edition issued in the author’s home country. Now that he resides in US, do you feel the US edition is the one to get, or would you still opt for the UK since that is where is originally from?

The US edition shows a pub date of May 19th; the UK pub date is May 21. I would go with the US based on that.
