Dark Parks of Reno, Nevada is offering a special copy of Stephen King's Pet Sematary, signed with quotes by five of the actors in the film version of this classic horror novel. "It took me over five years to gather all these signatures at various trade shows," says Ryan Parks. "I personally had each actor sign a quote from the film that I picked out myself to make this copy the only one in the world with these inscriptions and character names."
London bookseller Peter Harrington is exhibiting the first edition, second and earliest obtainable issue of the first modern vampire novel (1819), together with the first edition, second issue, of Lord Byron's Mazeppa, which includes the first appearance in print of his vampiric tale, "A Fragment", which inspired John William Polidori's story. Fast forward nearly two hundred years, for a new vampiric interpretation offered by Swan's Fine Books of Dracula: The Definitive Edition (1996), illustrated by Edward Gorey.
Rootenberg Rare Books of Los Angeles will feature the Second and best edition of Dictionnaire infernal (Paris, 1825-26), a sweeping encyclopedia of the occult. Arranged alphabetically, the entries provide a comprehensive explanation of all knowledge regarding demonology, magic, divination, superstition, and sorcery.
