Here is an important update about our deluxe Special Limited Edition of The Strain by Guillermo del Toro & Chuck Hogan:
The Strain is now done at the printer and we're just waiting on the slipcases for the Limited Edition, which will be completed in February. The traycases for the Lettered Edition should be completed in early spring. We will be publishing matching special editions of the other books in the trilogy — Troy Nixey has already started on the artwork for both of them — and customers who ordered The Strain will get first shot at matching numbers/letters for next volume. You will be contacted by email if you ordered your copy of The Strain from Cemetery Dance Publications.
Caniglia has turned in all of the color interior artwork, and he really went overboard. The original plan was 6 pieces, but there's definitely more than that here. I'm going to break the budget a bit to include ALL of them. Final count will be unveiled in a future update, but I think our collectors will be blown away.
The book is being designed now and we're moving along at a good clip. We hope to have design and proofreading completed by April and then the book will be ready for the printer for an early summer publication date.
Also, there's a special unannounced bonus for the Lettered Edition customers: because Caniglia turned in so much extra artwork, there will be entirely different artwork on the Lettered Edition's dust jacket.
