Cemetery Dance discussion thread

[St. Troy]

I'm not trying to be Mr. Downer, and I fully understand and appreciate the constrictive nature of CD's operations these days, but I have to say that this:

At this point I'll just be happy if we have the cases and get NS shipped by the end of the year.

...struck me as the first inkling that the statement on CD's production update page that NS "will be out this year" is becoming unlikely.

As I said, I understand, etc. etc., and it's clear that they're getting things done even now, which, in and of itself, is kind of amazing, but even given all that, it's a bit deflating.

(Maybe I'd be a bit more "inflated" if a certain Texas-based bookstore would stop trying to defraud me out of $15 at a time over old Clive Barker books).

You're telling me. I just largely don't trust the case makers estimates right now. I'm also trying to be pessimistic about the dates for these things as I really don't want people to get their hopes up. It's much better to be pleasantly surprised if the cases get done sooner, than it would be for us to be optimistic with our estimates and then just have to push the dates back.

I had to pre-order Night Shift from Bad Moon Books a few months ago since I missed out on the initial CD pre-order.

It was $145 for the gift edition so only a $50 mark up. Well worth it imo

I would like to add that I really appreciate you (and Brian) playing it straight with us.

I will add that although I'm disappointed-but-understanding with the shipping delays, I'm thrilled with receiving Cardinal Black lettered. I'm glad it made it into the shipping queue, and as for the book itself, you hit it out of the park.

Someone remind me... 3000 is the gift run for Doubleday years right?

Is that the limitation for Sleeping Beauties.

Love what Cemetery Dance did with their first Matthew Corbett title. I don't own any of the SubPress (lettered) editions, but from what I've seen, they're close.

Beauty. Matthew Corbett done right!!!

Looking for someone that has a pre-order of Usher's Passing from CD they're willing to sell. Whether it's an extra one or whatever the case may be.

I missed out on the original pre-order back in 2018. Thanks.

[ym2000]

I have one I think. I sent you a DM

Just curious if you know, Brian, but do you know the art for the dust jacket of the lettered edition of Usher's Passing?

I know on the product page it says there will be a different dust jacket for the lettered edition. Thanks.

Thanks for asking! The artwork is the same, but the DJ for the Lettered Edition has the Lettered Edition information on it instead of the Limited Edition information. A pet peeve of mine for a long time is Lettered Editions that have the Limited Edition DJ (thus confusing some people down the road) and DJs that have the info for BOTH editions (thus confusing some people down the road). We weren't able to use a second piece of artwork for this project, but I did want the text to reflect the editions properly.

I asked in the LP thrread, but will repeat it here - any date on when the numbered Revival portfolios bought through CD will be shipping?

[sullichin]

Does the CDCC no longer include the $10 monthly credit?

That was a one time thing for the CDCC 10, since the CDCC 10 was sort of a celebratory thing. We did a whole bunch of extra stuff we don't normally do for the CDCC.

I think Brian was trying to get the LP direct sales taken care of before putting together CD's and bringing them into the office. I think he's working on putting them together now, but he told me it could take a bit. So I'd say it shouldn't be too terribly long. The shipping schedule here at CD is pretty flexible at the moment, so once they're here we should be able to turn them around fairly quickly.

Everything's almost ready for the CD order. Between the kids starting back to school last week -- online, what fun! -- and my dad's (minor) surgery tomorrow, I just need to find the right day to make the trek to the office (90 minutes from my house these days, for those who don't know), but it won't be too long now!

Guess that explains the PA address for Lividian packages.

Hope all goes well for your father Brian.

Received Midnight Under The Big Top anthology yesterday. Wow- what a neat book! Love the extra large size on such a well-designed and copiously-illustrated tome. I love books like this: thoughtfully assembled, marvelously designed (there's really some fine effort here from Gail Cross, and it is immediately appreciated), nicely illustrated (again- abundantly!), and best of all- $50. A nice price for this package. The paper seems exceptional as well- not sure if you guys have used this before, but it immediately stood out while perusing. Nice job, guys. Thanks for making it. I hope you consider making more anthologies like this as it's a real treat and hearkens back to great CD packages of the past like October Dreams.
