OLD NEWS

There's also quite a bit of new Stephen King book news!  As none of this was time sensitive, I didn't put out a dedicated newsletter, but threads are up on the forums, and the latest updates around these will show up there first or if you'd like to chat about any of it the forums are a perfect place for that.

• Talisman 3 - King's final book in the Talisman Trilogy, named Other Worlds Than These has a release date of October 6th!  Above is the Amazon link, but as always I'd encourage you to support your local bookstore first if possible.
• The Jaunt - a short story available from Conversation Tree Press!  Limited to 500 copies.  This is just their announcement, ordering won't be available until next year.
• The Man in the Black Suit - a new chapbook from Cemetery Dance, featuring King's short story The Man in the Black Suit.  Available in limited edition hardcover and paperback (not signed by King).  Available to pre-order

tickets for the 2nd ever KingCon have gone live.  It'll be in Atlantic City, October 22-24th at the Tropicana Casino and Resort.  I hope to see many of you there!

Bad Hand Books is doing a new King related project called The End Times, which looks interesting, you can read more about it on the forums

Phantasia Press has announced that they have recently entered into an agreement to publish Stephen King's Dreamcatcher as a limited edition!  There are no specific details at this time beyond that, so please be patient :)  There is a thread for this book up on the forums, and for those on Facebook you can keep an eye out on the Fans of Phantassia Press FB page as well. 

First up there are a number of new books available for sale up in the Collector's Vault, at very competitive prices (as usual) including a couple really rare items!   Additional photos and notes on condition are available when you click into a title.  Please note that items are not considered sold until you've completed the checkout process.  So if you have an item in the cart someone can beat you to it if they checkout faster. 

Thank you everyone that came up and said hello at Comic-Con last week!  I had a blast and I hope you all enjoyed the panel. For those that couldn't make it, in addition to the general Q&A we did a presentation on 1st editions. If you'd like to see the slide deck you can check it out here.It's very high level and geared mainly towards new collectors but worth a quick read if you're interested.

I have info and buying pages up for the recently released Folio Society edition of IT.

In site related news - this month I exclusively focused on revamping the remarques section. With the input of everyone who filled out the survey back in December and of one very motivated remarque collector (thank you Thomas J !) , I’ve worked to revamp the section in the following ways:

• Remarque pages are now listed now alphabetically by book instead of Illustrator.
• Thumbnails resized to be 25-33% bigger....this took DAYS of work, each remarque had to be manually opened, resized, placed, and uploaded, whew!
• If a book has multiple official illustrators (for example Dr. Sleep) remarques are divided by illustrator
• If there are over 5 remarques from the books' illustrator they now get their own page (if they were the actual illustrator), resulting in many more individual pages, instead of a huge "Random Remarques" page.
• Remarques that are still in the Random Remarques page are now sectioned out by illustrator.

Did you guys know that our very own forum moderator, Ralph Mulleins, is a published author? He writes under the pen name Adam Kester and his new book titled When a Rabbit Screams is available as an ebook for just 99 cents! I picked up a copy myself a few days ago and it's next up on my reading list.  A great way to support a fellow collector for the price of...well... I'm not even sure what else you can get for just 99 cents these days, a coke maybe :)

If you haven't seen,  Lividian Publications is doing a pre-order for Carrie's Legacy which features art and essays from numerous writers offering their unique perspective on the novel's lasting impact on popular culture, the publishing world, and the horror genre.  The print run will be limited to only as many copies as are pre-ordered. (note this is NOT signed by King)
