<\/span><\/strong><\/span>Although we can’t announce any of our surprise projects just yet, we think collectors will be blown away by some of the authors we’ll be adding to the Cemetery Dance family this year. There are New York Times<\/em> bestsellers who aren’t our usual suspects and you probably won’t see these projects coming, but we think you’ll be as excited as we are about adding these incredible new collectible editions to your collection.<\/p>\nOne of these exciting new books will be announced in the next week or two, and we’re completely in love with the cover artwork that just arrived. We expect a fast sellout of the book due to the huge promotional blitz the New York publisher is using to support their edition. This will easily be one of the most talked about new books in its field, and a lot of people are saying they haven’t seen this much excitement around a book since The Passage<\/em> by Justin Cronin. (Our editions of that title sold out in a mere four hours.) Stay turned for the announcement later this month!<\/p>\n In the meantime, here are some production updates on the books we have already announced:<\/p>\n AT THE PRINTER AND COMING SOON:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The Century’s Best Horror Fiction<\/strong><\/a><\/em> edited by John Pelan<\/strong> (Reminder: the retail price will go up for any second printings.)
