I googled Cemetery Dance Pet Semetery and the following link came up: https://www.cemeterydance.com/pet-sematary-SECRET.html.
Can't be too much of a secret if that's all it took and this coming from a senior citizen luddite. I suspect I will be safely tucked away in a human cemetery long before this is ever published!
I've never gotten any email to order PS and I purchased The Stand numbered edition as well as all the other titles in the DD series. So I took it upon myself, found the link and ordered last month when I saw posts of people ordering. I think Richard Chizmar posted about it.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Are these descriptions just all wrong? Or does it also have Chadbourne art in addition to Vincent Chong?
Slipcased Oversized Hardcover Gift Edition of only 3,000 copies printed in two colors on a specialty paper stock; bound with a fine binding, two color hot foil stamping, and embossed endpapers; and featuring a unique black-and-white limitation page with artwork by Glenn Chadbourne ($150)
• Traycased Oversized Hardcover Numbered Artist Edition signed by the artist and limited to only 750 hand-numbered copies printed in two colors on a specialty paper stock; bound with a different fine binding, two color hot foil stamping, and full color illustrated endpapers; a full-color signature sheet signed by the artists and featuring artwork by Glenn Chadbourne; and housed in a traycase ($375)
• Traycased Oversized Hardcover Artist Lettered Edition signed by the artist and limited to 52 hand-lettered copies printed in two colors on a specialty paper stock; bound in two different fine materials in a hand-made three piece binding featuring spine hubs, gilded page edges, two color hot foil stamping, and full color illustrated endpapers; a different full color signature sheet signed by the artists and featuring artwork by Glenn Chadbourne; and housed in a unique "three piece" traycase ($1750)
I think Chadbourne is illustrating the signature page.
Edit: too slow
Vincent Chong is the Pet Semetery artist

My guess is that they'll increase the print run due to "demand" etc. etc., just as they did with the numbered edition of The Stand, from 750 copies to 1,250. Also, of course, there will be pallets upon pallets of so-called PCs that will go on eBay and sell for twice retail. It's hard to imagine a slimier business model.
Finally received the lettered edition of Usher's Passing. At least when they finally do ship out books the quality is top notch.
I'm glad (for obvious reasons) that Lividian is releasing the McCammon limiteds instead.
It was hell's season, and the air smelled of burning children
CD has significantly changed their production update page (now moved to here : https://www.cemeterydance.com/extras...ction-updates/ )
And, we'll see how it will be updated in the future, but i personally think that it's a very good improvement !
Not only there is a "last update" regarding the page, but also regarding EACH title. And a sort of colour-code for the production update

Regarding :
Seasons of Terror edited by Richard Chizmar:
The Limited Edition is waiting on Simon Schuster, as they have rights to first publication via their trade edition. We will not have more information until they produce their edition. (3/31/2023)
It would be interesting to know what is Gallery Books plan though... cause Amazon says 2045, so is the project still planned or canceled?
Given the CD version has a low print (750 + 400 + 52), it's a shame that the S&S version blocks entirely the project.
What if S&S do not release their version within the next 5 years, is the project still blocked? Or is their a deadline to that blockade?

I searched AbeBooks.com for "Cemetery Dance" to see if anything of interest that I would've never known to search for might turn up, and ended up ordering these 4 (all under $40; 1 was $15):
Black Evening by David Morrell
https://www.cemeterydance.com/black-evening.html
This was a particularly cool find because, while I absolutely love Morrell's Orange Is For Anguish, Blue For Insanity (one of my favorite short stories from anyone), I had no idea he had enough such pieces ("a landmark gathering of dark suspense") to fill a collection; my previous brief researches into his career seemed to indicate that he didn't write much horror (or related) fiction. Orange/Blue (seriously - read it) left me desperate for more - and now I can have it!.
Fourbodings: A Quartet of Uneasy Tales from Four Masters of the Macabre
https://www.cemeterydance.com/fourbo...asy-tales.html
"A collection of four brand new novellas of terror by British superstars Simon Clark, Tim Lebbon, Terry Lamsley, and Mark Morris"
I've never read the work of any of these people, but the chance to try four new writers (not to mention that cover art) convinced me.
Four Octobers by Rick Hautala
https://www.cemeterydance.com/four-octobers.html
Long ago, I read Hautala's Night Stone; I don't recall much about it, but I know he was one of the "other" horror writers (beyond King, Straub, Barker) I intended to look into but never got around to. This collection - "four loosely interconnected novellas...set in October, the month of pumpkins and trick or treat, of skeletons and haunted graveyards" - looks like the perfect chance to finally check out more of Hautala's work.
A Chapbook for Burnt-Out Priests, Rabbis and Ministers by Ray Bradbury
https://www.cemeterydance.com/a-chap...ministers.html
I haven't yet actually read anything of Bradbury's (I at least have the good sense to be ashamed of that fact) outside of some online samples, but recently loaded up a bit on some likely-looking things from him (Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Halloween Tree, The October Country) to read this fall, and Cemetery Dance's Chapbook ("an exclusive, brand new hardcover collection...featuring classic Bradbury creations, all having to do with the Cosmos, the Universe, Visitations, Annunciations, First and Last Suppers, early Sabbaths and much, much more") appeared to be worth rolling the dice on.
(The flip side of the secondary market - as opposed to the usual "$1k for It" side - can be a pretty fun place).
You can't be aloof until you advertise.
What happened to Gwendy’s Magic Feather lettered?
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
