Limited to 150 copies, the latest e-mail from Centipede Press reports that the book is scheduled to reach their offices this week and start shipping soon.
One of the scariest and most inventive haunted house novels ever written, Burnt Offerings chronicles the story of Ben and his family, renting a house out in the New York countryside, and the horror that unfolds there.
In this new edition, William F. Nolan, who wrote the screenplay for the 1976 film directed by Dan Curtis, elucidates why the novel is so effective, and speaks eloquently about his work in adapting the novel for the big screen. Includes cover art by J.K. Potter, an interior full color piece by Tomislav Tikulin, film stills, original hardcover artwork, and movie posters, most all of it reprinted in color. Signed by William F. Nolan and J.K. Potter. Limited to just 150 copies for sale.

I love the movie. Tempted to order the book.
@DoctorKent – $60 is a really good price for a book like this that’s limited to 150 copies.
The movie’s streaming on Netflix. i watched it just a couple weeks ago, having fond memories of being scared as a kid. Can’t say I was as impressed as I’d remembered. A lot of nothing happens for like an hour and a half and then there’s like 15 minutes of crazy and then it’s over.
Still, always good to see Oliver Reed. Burgess Meredith I thought was pretty weak, even with such a short cameo.
Have you read the book? Is it worth it?
