Complete Product Status Report
March 20, 2008
Unto Dust I: Jack's Magic Beans by Brian Keene
Over 600 copies SOLD OUT during pre-orders.
Originally slated to begin shipping next week, this title was delayed due to various unavoidable factors and is currently slated to go to press next month. The signature sheets are due from the printer next week. Once he's finished with them, Brian will send them directly to the binder, to help speed things along.
Expected shipping date: Early May 08.
Jack's Magic Beans: The F.U.K.U. Edition.
Over 200 copies SOLD OUT during pre-orders.
A much more design-oriented book than the Unto Dust edition of Beans, this title will go to press roughly one month after the Unto Dust edition. We received many mad scrawlings, scribbles, and photos for the F.U.K.U. edition, and are putting together a truly unique finished product.
Here's a sneak peek at the signature sheet.
Expected shipping date: June 08.
Unto Dust I: Jack's Magic Beans Lettered Edition
We originally didn't plan to produce a Lettered Edition of Jack's Magic Beans, but demand has dictated otherwise. A lot of you have written in, stating that you wanted one, so you're gonna get one. We have very few details ready at present, aside from the fact that this leatherbound edition will come housed in a wooden case featuring an embedded resin sculpture of a leering lettuce head. A two-person operation with a several irons in the fire (and a three-year-old), we don't plan on getting to this project until most of our other publishing obligations have been met.
When the Lettered Edition of Jack's Magic Beans is made available for purchase, it will be on hand and ready to ship.
Expected shipping date: TBA
Unto Dust II: Children of the New Disorder by Tim Lebbon and Lindy Moore
This title's production has not been adversely affected by recent delays, and we're working to get this off to press shortly after the F.U.K.U. edition of Beans sets sail.
Expected shipping date: July 08.
The Shallow End of the Pool by Adam-Troy Castro
Originally slated to ship this week, this title has also suffered a small setback. Signature sheets are due in next week.
The Amazing Criswell predicts that The Shallow End of the Pool will be the "Holy shit, did you read that?" release of 2008. This book will smash your face. And for a mere $12.95, how can you pass up the chance to have your face smashed?
Expected shipping date: April 2008.
Corpse Blossoms Unsigned Edition (with FREE Brian Keene chapbook)
This edition, limited to 500 copies, is close to being sold out. While supplies last, everyone who orders the unsigned edition of Corpse Blossoms directly from us will receive a free chapbook, limited to 75 copies, featuring the first draft of Brian Keene's Jack's Magic Beans.
Available now.
Corpse Blossoms Signed and Lettered Editions
As previously mentioned, several authors are contributing bonus stories to these editions of our first release, the highly-acclaimed and Stoker-nominated Corpse Blossoms. We haven't signed contracts on most of these new stories, so we're not going to announce the updated table of contents at this moment.
Tentative shipping date: October 2008 or sooner.
The Fever Kill by Tom Piccirilli
The first 200 copies of this stunning crime novel feature a full color tip-in signed by Tom Piccirilli. All dealer copies have been shipped, and we have approximately 20 copies left for direct purchase.
Available now.
Frayed by Tom Piccirilli
Signed limited hardcover limited to 450 copies.
Available now.
Frayed Lobster Edition
15 copies SOLD OUT during pre-orders. Rich DeMars is currently hard at work on the hand-made slipcase. We'll be shipping them out as they become available, and we estimate that the entire process should take roughly three months. They'll be shipped out according to the order of reservations -- the first person to reserve the book receives #1, and so on.
The Future?
We'll soon be welcoming TM Wright into the Creeping Hemlock Press family. We've also lined up enough authors to carry the Unto Dust series through five volumes (of a projected ten).
Then there's the thing we can't tell you about yet, so we won't.
