I’ll try the squeaky wheel approach.

    Interview, Caretakers and some graveyard editions are the next-up books, from what I can tell.

    I will ask around for the most recent info on Face in the Crowd. That one had been planned for this year, but I would bet money on it being a 2023 considering the pace of printing these days.

    As for Pet Sematery, it is creeping along! The Stand is up next for the Doubledays, believe Night Shift was last year, lettereds still waiting on cases.
    My point was that the Update page in its current state is neither accurate nor helpful. The concept is good, but the current design is aimed more at product that is in constant movement with frequent updates. The current situation results in most of the books mentioned to have no updates when an update is posted. The reader is reliant on using their memory to know if a specific title was updated or if the update was posted at some point in the past.

    I would like to see what updates were posted on the most recent update. For titles that have no update but had previously posted milestone, I would like to know if the milestone was met and if not is there a new milestone or is it now int the TBD category. With the current state of delivery at CD I would actually specific milestones are not provided. The 'proofreading to start in January' is a prime example. I have many of those milestone tasks go months to years without ever changing. Dates should not be provided unless they are most likely to be met. Most likely to be met should be rare.

    I would also like to see the updates grouped together:
    Design in progress (This would include any title that is not ready to be sent to the printer.)
    Ready for Printer
    At the Printer
    Complete but awaiting case

    Within some categories a tiered ranking would also help. (A tiered ranking in the 'Design' probably would be of no value as timelines for titles vary greatly.
    Example: Group A will be among the next to be sent to the printer. Group B are in-line behind Group A etc. If circumstances require a title to drop or move up a tier some mention of that would be helpful.

    Thank you for your engagement.

    Along with the option to pre-order all of the books at the beginning, they gave some people the opportunity to order Pet Semetary when they had another offering of The Stand. As far as I know there hasn't been an option to order it separately for those who purchased The Stand earlier. I know I haven't gotten a matching pre-order yet.

    Thanks. I guess I'll be looking for a pre-order one of these days. Better check how much store credit I have.

    If we make a christmas list for the production page, i think that it would be interesting to note the DATE of last update for EACH entries

    And/Or put recent new updates at top, and let old ones settle to the bottom.


    The update(s) for Flight or Fright are so out of date, you don't even know what year it refers to "..which will see print next year". I think the year in question was 2020.

    And while you're at it you could ask why Tabitha King hasn't yet signed the signature sheets for Caretakers. How many years have we been waiting on those?

    Richard never addressed it. Even after VanderMeer took to FB to rant about not receiving his author copies. VanderMeer saw and commented on my unboxing video and then posted on Facebook about seeing customers receiving their copies while he still waited for his. He then guessed that Richard might get around to sending him his copies once he was no longer busy "cupping" a part of King's anatomy. It was ballsy.

    Also, to my christmas shopping list of CD Production Update :

    Update the Production Update page once a month. To show that the page is not being forgotten
    Even though there wasnt much updated, the last edit was apparently a bit over a month ago

    My preferred version of a production update is boxes. With books inside. On my doorstep.
    As I've said, I have 22 undelivered orders with CD, the most RECENT of which was placed 2 YEARS ago. I have not received a single book from CD in 2022 and I do not expect them to deliver a single one before 2022 ends. I'd go through the effort of canceling the orders but at this point it's just sunk cost. If the production page was reformed at least I could map out actual promise dates for some of them.
    Alright, we'll call it a draw.

    I believe Caretakers is further along in production than the update page says! Lots of vacations and people out of office. Should be an update for Caretakers, Stand, and a couple others. I’ll be making phone calls and sending emails regarding the update page later today, a monthly update should definitely be a thing. Actual dates may be unlikely, but theres always progress on *something*

    The problems at CD and delays are so longstanding that there is little hope of improvement. Production "updates" that merely reiterate that projects delayed for years continue to be delayed doesn't move the ball. How about this? Absolutely no new books sold until the backlog has been cleared. How about someone find out what's holding up every single book and resolve that problem? This is not asking the impossible. Medieval monks could produce books under siege faster than CD. It can be done.

    I cancelled all my outstanding orders with CD about a year ago, including this book. I had ordered some books (i.e. LEGACIES) nearly 10 years ago. So far I have been able to get the CD books I want at or below issue price after they have been released. These include SECRETARY OF DREAMS and the Lonesome Road production of DARK FORCES. Time will tell if my luck holds out but I am much more comfortable buying the books after they come out than letting those guys keep my money for years and years.
    10 years ago...good grief...a year ago is when I cancelled my orders, too...if one is a lifetime member like Boome, that's one thing, since it doesn't really matter when anything gets published, since you'll get it - but there's not a good reason to order any individual title from them, unless they someday manage to get their act together.
    I posted that Jan 8, 2008 - George W. Bush was still President.

    Since then, I've sold all my King books, CarlosDetwiler disappeared from here, I don't know if Sir Boome is alive, the book shnnrc01 is referring too was never published, and CD's business practices did not change one bit.

    No offense to anyone, just an observation.

    François Vaillancourt has revealed he’s the new artist for The Stand and he shared a picture of that rascal Flagg.

    Hi newcomer here. Has any one who ordered the limited edition of McCammons The King Of Shadows received their copy from Cemetery Dance yet?
    Only ordered from Cemetery Dance as I had store credit but as I see photos of it being received from all the other small press publishers I'm wondering where's my copy?
    I have given Cemetery Dance the benefit of the doubt for the last few years but it just looks like a company that's doomed. Chizmar's complete refusal to do anything about it is a disgrace and am sick of the excuses.
    Sorry, rant over!

    Given that the Production page was updated regarding "The Stand", wouldn't it have been relevant to at least update the paragraph below, regarding the general update?

    It still states : "Our main printer is now scheduling into May and June, "
    That's now in the past... so I don't know, change that wording to the next few months?
    And could have at least noted what book have been updated, otherwise it's just frustrating readers who go through all of that without knowing if something has changed or not...

    According to CD website he will be one of three artists (along with Ned Dameron & Glenn Chadbourne) for the book.
