FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CEMETERY DANCE PUBLICATIONS ANNOUNCES THE DEVIL'S WINE FEATURING STEPHEN KING, RAY BRADBURY, PETER STRAUB AND MANY OTHERS!

BALTIMORE, MD--June 4, 2003--Cemetery Dance Publications, publisher of the deluxe limited edition of Stephen King's FROM A BUICK 8, is proud to announce THE DEVIL'S WINE, a poetry anthology edited by best-selling author Tom Piccirilli. The contributors include Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Peter Straub, Graham Masterton, Charles De Lint, Jack Ketchum, Joe Haldeman, Michael Bishop, Jack Cady, Steve Rasnic Tem, Melanie Tem, Peter Crowther, TM Wright, Brian Hodge, Edward Lee, Elizabeth Massie, Jay Bonansinga, and Tamara Thorne.

The Cemetery Dance hardcover is the only planned edition for this title, and many of the nearly 200 poems have never appeared anywhere else. Stephen King's amazing contributions were originally published in small venues during his college years and these publications now resell for thousands of dollars due to their scarcity. The King poems haven't seen print in over 30 years--this is the ONLY time they have ever been reprinted!

THE DEVIL'S WINE will be issued in two unique states: a Trade Hardcover edition for $40 (featuring our usual high-quality, smyth-sewn cloth binding, full-color dustjacket, etc) and a Deluxe Lettered Edition for $250 (featuring a handmade traycase, additional artwork, and completely unique hand-binding--in other words, a completely different book to hold in your hands! Signed by editor Tom Piccirilli and artist Caniglia!).

THE DEVIL'S WINE will be published in October and both editions are now available for pre-order from Cemetery Dance Publications. You may order from the website (http://www.cemeterydance.com) or feel free to call (410-588-5901) or email us (order@cemeterydance.com).
