Cemetery Dance's King News

BevVincent

Hi all!



The last couple of e-mail newsletters I've received from Cemetery Dance have promised "exciting" news for Stephen King fans. Anyone have a little advance knowledge on this? Anyone care to share? A hint? Anything?



Bev? (I know you know something....)

BevVincent

You'll find no hints here. :P



But you knew that already, didn't you?

Blah!

BluGilliand

Yeah...I knew...but you can't blame a guy for trying, can you?

Unfortunately I can't get into my personal email acct from work, otherwise I would post the exact email I rec'd from CD over the weekend.  Did any of you get it?



Basically if you spent $199 on CD stuff in one order you could send a picture of yourself and your favorite SK book (or any horror book, I think) to CD and Glenn Chadbourne would make a one of a kind drawing incorporating your picture into your book choice.  Pretty cool!



They also said there is more SK stuff to come in the next week or so!

BevVincent

Hi Brautigan, , here is the link from the CD e-mail that you mention:

I saw that too, and what a fantastic offer, but I don't have the equivalent of $199 :-/



If people were able to choose a scene from their favourite book portrayed - what would it be?



I think mine would be from 'Salem's Lot as a vampire at someone's window ;D

Brautigan

OK, so did y'all get the email yesterday that some big SK news will be emailed to all the CD newsletter folks TODAY?   I am dying to know what it is but can't access my personal email until I get home tonight, 8pm (Eastern US).



If anyone gets the email before then would you please post it here??  It's in the public domain then, right Bev?



I'm checking their website every hour for any updates.



So, between whatever this is and DTVII Artist hopefully next week I think my head's about to explode!!  :o

CRinVA

I will be checking my personal email acct regularly today until the CD email arrives. I do believe it stated that this was an advance notice for CD Pubs Newsletter subscribers only - so not really in the public domain! I do not think that they will update their web page with this news for a day after their newsletter subscribers get it.



I too am dying to find out what the news is!

BluGilliand

Yeah - I'm gonna be burnin' up my personal account until I get this. They sure know how to tease...

I checked my email account and it says that the big news will be out later this week.

BluGilliand

Go to the Cemetery Dance breaking news page - it's all there.

I've been waiting for this announcement for a while - Rocky told us SKEMERs about this last October at our SKEMERCon at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park! Rocky is pretty cool. I already own his "The Complete Guide to the Works of Stephen King" on CD SKEMERs Limited Edition. In fact I provided him with some information for his CD Guide and am recognized by name for my contribution on the CD. Well not on the CD, but buried somewhere in the data! ;D



So just moments ago I placed my pre-order at CD Pubs for "Stephen King, Unpublished, Uncollected" - Limited Edition! woohoo!

Better yet, I'll post it here for those who can't wait ;D :



STEPHEN KING: UNCOLLECTED, UNPUBLISHED

The Ultimate Addition To Your King Collection!



Today we're proud to announce STEPHEN KING: UNCOLLECTED, UNPUBLISHED -- a book that publishes for the first time ever a COMPLETE CHAPTER from a lost Stephen King novel that has never been available to the general public, plus another rare King work that only appeared once in a small literary venue! Read on for complete details!



STEPHEN KING: UNCOLLECTED, UNPUBLISHED

by Rocky Wood with David Rawsthorne & Norma Blackburn



Limited Edition: $75

Lettered Edition: $500



STEPHEN KING: UNCOLLECTED, UNPUBLISHED will be the most comprehensive review of the Stephen King works you've never read, including nearly one hundred unpublished and uncollected works of fiction--novels, short stories, screenplays, and poems! Best of all, it will feature the first book publication of two lost works written by King, including an entire chapter from King's unpublished 1970 novel SWORD IN THE DARKNESS that has never been published anywhere in the world!



STEPHEN KING: UNCOLLECTED, UNPUBLISHED will also give in-depth coverage to the nearly one hundred variations and versions of King's published stories--edits, updates, and changes King made between reprintings of his work. Similar in size and scope to our edition of THE STEPHEN KING UNIVERSE, this is a must-have for both collectors and casual readers of Stephen King!



Details about the two works written by Stephen King that are featured in this book!



• The first and only publication of a long chapter from King's unpublished 1970 novel SWORD IN THE DARKNESS--one of the lost Stephen King novels that only a handful of people in the world have ever read! This novel will never be published, and this is your only chance to catch a glimpse of a young Stephen King developing his craft. The raw power that would eventually make him the bestselling horror author in the world is definitely evident in this very long excerpt!



• The first book publication of the obscure King poem "Dino"--previously only published in a small literary magazine and just recently discovered in Stephen King's papers at the University of Maine!



In addition, the authors have discovered and taken detailed notes about a work previously unknown by the King community -- "Molly," which was King's original screenplay submitted for The X-Files. It is a completely different story from what was later produced for the series as "Chinga" and the authors give in-depth coverage to the differences!



Some other examples of what you'll find in STEPHEN KING: UNCOLLECTED, UNPUBLISHED:



• Over one hundred entries detailing all of King's uncollected and unpublished works, many of which have never been available for public discussion

• In-depth descriptions and discussions of several unpublished King novels such as Blaze and incomplete novels such as George D X McArdle

• Detailed overviews of dozens of King screenplays that were never produced, including his own adaptations of Cujo, Children of the Corn, The Dead Zone, Desperation, Dolan's Cadillac, Night Shift, The Stand, and his adaptations of other classic novels such as Something Wicked This Way Comes

• Essays covering two dozen of King's lost and hidden works that are not available anywhere in the world, such as "An Evening at God's" and the infamous "Squad D"

• Details of eight new and previously unheard of King stories discovered in the Stephen King papers at the University of Maine

• Details of two King stories published in his high school newspaper and other stories King wrote as a child and teenager

• A complete Stephen King bibliography covering nearly four hundred works of fiction and non-fiction

• Instructions on finding the original appearances of King's lost works that appeared in obscure publications, and suggestions on how you can add these rare works to your collection



This book will have an oversized design like THE STEPHEN KING UNIVERSE, THE DEVIL'S WINE, and our edition of FROM A BUICK 8 -- including a full-color dustjacket, illustrated endpapers, and special interior artwork! Each copy will be signed by Rocky Wood, David Rawsthorne and Norma Blackburn, and best of all, each copy will be issued with a hand-crafted slipcase!



The deluxe Lettered Edition will be bound in leather, with all the same goodies as the Limited Edition, but it will be protected inside a custom-made hand-crafted traycase and it will feature additional full color artwork not available in any other edition! (Please keep in mind that the Lettered Edition of THE DEVIL'S WINE and GREAT GHOST STORIES sold out in less than twenty-four hours--if you want one, order it ASAP.)



STEPHEN KING: UNCOLLECTED, UNPUBLISHED is going to be a must-have for every Stephen King collector, and we expect it to sell very quickly. We're aiming for a Christmas publication date so reserve your copies soon before they're gone!



Available in two states:

• Slipcased Limited Edition of 2,000 signed and numbered copies

• Traycased Lettered Edition of 52 signed and lettered copies



(Limit of two Limited Editions and one Lettered Edition per customer, please.)

I got mine! I wish I could have afforded the Deluxe edition, but...

CRinVA

I like to order directly from CD Pubs cause then you get entered into a drawing for a Lettered Ed?  Right?

DTUK

Wow, Shocklines have sold out already!

BluGilliand

Ah, I just can't make up my mind about this...sounds really cool, but...I'm going back and forth.



Better hurry up, though - obviously this thing is going to sell out quick.



Blu

Jojje

I just ordered the Limited Edition from Cemetery Dance!

BevVincent

Yep, pre-orders placed directly through Cemetery Dance qualify for free shipping to US addresses and entry into the Lettered Edition Raffle.



Speaking of the Lettered Editions, it's almost sold out (just five hours after the book was announced) so if you want one, this is your last chance... and this is the only place I'm posting that!

I don't know if I would want to read a chapter from a book I could never read. It might just be frustrating that I don't get the rest.

BevVincent

The authors of this book told me: "This Chapter features a stand-alone horror story set in pre-War Gates Mills, Maine."  It was a good sized piece, too, from looking at the manuscript.  So it sounds like this section kind of stands on its own, but don't quote me on that!

And....I did it. I knew I would. I've never been able to resist the charms of a new King book, and Cemetery Dance is my favorite "small" publisher. Can't wait to see this.

Does McSweeny's count as a small publisher, or are they too big? If so, they are probably my favorite. CD is probably second, though.
