Michael Cisco Box Set Now Available at Centipede Press

As proof that Centipede Press has some sort of magical hold over my imagination I direct you to the Michael Cisco Box Set that the company has started shipping. Five books by author Michael Cisco (blog), the way I know that Centipede Press is casting spells on me is that I’ve never read any of Cisco’s work but that doesn’t stop me from being tempted by this deluxe collection.

And even though Cisco’s works are available at Amazon.com* It is the quality of Centipede Press’ art and bindings, their love of bookmaking as an artistic craft, that makes the set so very appealing to me. And then add in that they’re offering $75 off the set this week and I can see that if I still feel this way in a day or two I’ll be breaking down and ordering a collection of five books and other horror collectibles.

Michael Cisco (b. 1970) is an American writer, teacher, and translator currently living in New York City. He is best known for his first novel, The Divinity Student, winner of the International Horror Guild Award for Best First Novel of 1999. He has described his work as de-genred fiction. Cisco’s surreal world is one of the most original in all of horror fiction.

Now, Centipede Press is bringing five Michael Cisco titles, four novels and one collection of short fiction, in five uniform, individually signed editions. This is the first time that any of these titles have ever been available in hardcover editions. The five books are enclosed in a beautiful two-toned cloth slipcase. They excellent examples of quality bookmaking and design.
