The Ideal Genuine Man
&
Prime Evil
Both Signed by King

Click to enlarge
|
This is for TWO books signed by Steve King. First is a second printing of Don Robertson's Ideal Genuine Man (introduction by King). This was published by Philtrum Press, King's own publishing company. It has been signed on the title page by Robertson AND King.
Second is Prime Evil, 1st US trade edition. VERY rare to find signed and, as an added bonus, this is signed Steve King - the rarest form of his signature. As you can see, there is some softening to the spine head and heel and the DJ is not fantastic - but these editions appear on Ebay fairly regularly so you could replace the dust jacket without much hassle.
£200 + postage for the pair
NOTE - If you buy these PLUS any other item I will add another 1st edition of Prime Evil, signed by the Editor Douglas Winter, FREE.

F Paul Wilson
The Adversary Cycle
Signed Limited Editions
(Matching Numbers)
A Note From F. Paul Wilson: The Adversary Cycle didn't start out as a cycle. I like doing connected stories - future histories or separate stories sharing the same milieu - but had no intention of doing a series. So the first three novels were intended as stand alones. Completely unrelated. As a matter of fact, Wm. Morrow rejected The Tomb because it was too unlike The Keep. And The Touch was like neither.
Then I went to work on a novel called The Chadham Clone. It too was meant to be a stand-alone, with no relation to The Keep. I wanted to misdirect you into thinking it was going to be like a Rosemary's Baby or an Omen, then hit you with something different (just as The Keep looks like a vampire novel for a while, but is not). I wanted to use an evil entity other than the tired old Antichrist, but who? Then I realized I already had that entity in Rasalom from The Keep.
|
I needed a suburban setting convenient to Manhattan, and realized I already had one in Monroe where The Touch took place. I became intrigued by the challenge of tying those two novels, and The Tomb as well, into Rasalom's reincarnation, bringing the books full circle. It worked so well that I suspect my subconscious might have been linking them all along.
20th Anniversary Edition of The Tomb or Rakoshi "You may have noticed that there's no tomb in The Tomb . That's because my title was Rakoshi, but the publisher insisted on a change. I'll tell the full story in an introduction to the Borderlands edition, but for now I'm delighted to know that exactly twenty years after its first publication, the definitive edition of the first Repairman Jack novel will appear under its original title.

Rage
1st US Edition
You already know how difficult it is to get your hands on a presentable / collectable copy of Rage, especially since King insisted on its withdrawal from sale. |
This copy is in Near Fine condition, its only real flaw being some minor loss from the top right corner, as you can see in the photo (click on it to enlarge).

Stephen King
Cycle of the Werewolf
1st US HB Edition
Only 7000 copies were ever printed, making this one of the rarest King hardbacks.
This copy is particularly nice - the jacket, notorious for being fragile at best, is largely unblemished and the book is fine.
I'm including the after market slipcase pictured here.

F Paul Wilson
Midnight Mass
Signed LETTERED Edition
Publisher's Note: This full-length novel is over 400 pages long and set in the same world as the F. Paul Wilson novella of the same title. Lavishly illustrated by Harry O. Morris with dustjacket, endpaper, and interior artwork, and limited to just 448 numbered copies and 52 STUNNING Lettered copies, this Limited Edition won't last long! |
From the Author's Note: "Midnight Mass was born out of my dissatisfaction with the tortured romantic aesthetes who have been passing lately for vampires. Stephen King gave us the real deal in 'Salem's Lot, but what gives since then? I wanted to get back to roots--go retro, if you will--and write about the soulless, merciless, parasitic creatures we all knew and loved."

This is an amazing collection. As an avid Koontz fan I've picked up these pieces over the years. Sadly, circumstances dictate that I sell these for far less than I paid for them to ensure a sale.
