When Centipede Press announced the expanded 500-copy second printing (released at a retail price of around $500–$800), the skyrocketing value of the 2015 set stabilized slightly. However, because the 2015 set features genuine, hand-signed signature pages by the contributing artists (rather than the facsimile signatures in the newer run), it remains the ultimate prize for completions and continues to hold its premium value.

After destroying the headquarters of an underground amputation cult, a burned and battered Kline finds himself in a holding cell. When he enlists the help of an ex-cop to commute his prison sentence, Kline inadvertently tangles with a schism of the very cult he sought to destroy. Can Kline investigate the sect’s ritualistic murder spree without getting lured into their ranks?
“Evenson has created a haunted world of violence and damage, where the more a person loses, the closer they get to God. The author proves yet again to be a master alchemist, stirring up a noir-infused detective story, a cultic conspiracy, and some wonderfully grisly body horror into a concoction that is distinctly Evenson.”
—Brandon Grafius

The Numbered edition of 250 copies is a quarter leather binding with cloth sides. The leather is goatskin from the Alran Tannery in France. The Alran tannery has been producing some of the finest goat leather for over 100 years. The grain has a natural buffed texture similar to suede that adds a beautiful depth to the leather. The European cloth has a uniquely crinkled surface and features a foiled leather label which is inset into the front cover. Head & tail bands are handmade with goatskin and endsheets are HahnemĂĽhle Bugra.
The edition is printed on Mohawk Via Laid and is published in two volumes with a tipped in fold-out of the Classic edition dust jacket art. It is housed in a cloth covered clamshell enclosure with velour lined floors and is signed by Robert McCammon & Ed Binkley.
Winner of the 1988 Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel, Swan Song is Robert McCammon’s gripping post-apocalyptic novel that weaves a tale of survival, hope, and the battle between good and evil.
Set in a world devastated by nuclear war, the story follows a diverse cast of characters as they navigate the treacherous landscape of a ruined America, fighting for their lives and the future of humanity.
Among these survivors are Sister Creep, who stumbles upon a mysterious and transformative glass relic amidst the ruins of Manhattan; Joshua Hutchins, a former wrestler seeking refuge from the radioactive fallout in a remote Nebraska gas station; and Swan, a young girl blessed with extraordinary powers, whose journey with Joshua leads them to a Missouri town where restoration and hope might begin through her gifts.
Yet, the ancient malevolent force responsible for the world’s devastation is on a relentless quest to recruit the wounded for its dark army. In this desolate landscape teeming with grotesque beasts and pillaging armies, the last vestiges of humanity are drawn into a cataclysmic struggle between good and evil—one that will seal the fate of humankind.
First published in June 1987, Swan Song was the first novel of Robert McCammon’s to appear on the New York Times best-seller list. Critics praised its pace and prose, with Publishers Weekly calling it “broad and compelling… a long, satisfying look at hell and salvation,” while Rave Reviews praised the novel as “distinctive and engrossing…you’ll wish there were more of Swan Song.”
In his chilling vision of a post-apocalyptic world, Robert McCammon masterfully constructs a compelling tale that captures the catastrophic impact of nuclear conflict, the ensuing terror, and the fragile hope for humanity’s redemption.

The Martian meets 127 Hours in this “astoundingly great” (Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author) and scientifically accurate thriller about a scuba diver who’s been swallowed by an eighty-foot, sixty-ton sperm whale and has only one hour to escape before his oxygen runs out.
Jay Gardiner has given himself a fool’s errand—to find the remains of his deceased father in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Monastery Beach. He knows it’s a long shot, but Jay feels it’s the only way for him to lift the weight of guilt he has carried since his dad’s death by suicide the previous year.
The dive begins well enough, but the sudden appearance of a giant squid puts Jay in very real jeopardy, made infinitely worse by the arrival of a sperm whale looking to feed. Suddenly, Jay is caught in the squid’s tentacles and drawn into the whale’s mouth where he is pulled into the first of its four stomachs. He quickly realizes he has only one hour before his oxygen tanks run out—one hour to defeat his demons and escape the belly of a whale.
Suspenseful and cinematic, Whalefall is a “powerfully humane” (Owen King, New York Times bestselling author) thriller about a young man who has given up on life … only to find a reason to live in the most dangerous and unlikely of places.

Sixteen-year-old Harper has decided to run away from home after she has another blow-out argument with her mother.
Her two best friends, little sister, and ex-boyfriend stage an intervention disguised as a road trip to stop her from hitchhiking her way up Route 80 in Wyoming.
