I just got this in the mail today. It has some nice weird illustrations by Topor as well. And, like you, I was pleased to read on the back cover that more translations are coming.

For those lost souls still waiting on their long-ago ordered HB copies of Reggie Oliver's "The Boke of the Divill," found this notice on Dark Region Press' production updates page:

UPDATE: THE BOKE OF THE DIVILL BY REGGIE OLIVER SIGNED HARDCOVER
November 16, 2018

Currently in line with our binder meeting the same fate as several other DRP titles that were waiting at a printer/binder who closed their doors. This one has been given a high priority and should begin shortly after the binder finishes with Bird Box Deluxe Hardcover edition. We anticipate binding to begin within 90 days and will post an update as soon as the binder gets started. Thanks to everyone for your patience!

That's great to hear! Any timeline on The Red Brain?

Here you go:

UPDATE: THE RED BRAIN GREAT TALES OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS DELUXE HARDCOVER
November 16, 2018

The Red Brain books are complete and the slipcases are being made! We anticipate the slipcases to be complete within 45 days of writing this update and for the completed books and slipcases to be shipped to us within 15 days after that. Thus, we anticipate customer orders on The Red Brain deluxe edition to begin in roughly 90 days from this update. Thank you to everyone for your patience and watch for another update when the slipcases are complete.

Mother of God.
Another US press is using this excuse, as well.
Cemetery Dance Publications: Cemetery Dance Production Status Index
Meanwhile, both continue to solicit orders for new titles.
I will believe this when I ####ing see it, and even then I am finished buying from either outfit.
May their pants runneth over.
Apologies for my lack of festive joy.

Re: Forthcoming Books
 

The thing that irks me about DRP is that they're incredibly flaky with email corros too. I'd written to them multiple times re changes to my address, have never received positive confirmation to any of them. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if:

- I don't get my books before I move overseas next year, and
- They all get shipped to my old address from 4 years ago anyway.

Well & truly never again after this.

Re: Forthcoming Books
 

I received a Kickstarter update re: Boke on Oct 9, 2018, stating that binding on the project is slated to begin within 30 days. Then a follow up email sent out from DRP on Oct 31, 2018, stating that Boke of the Divil is 'currently being printed and shipping will start in 90 days'. And this notification is post their printer closing down. I have no idea if DRP really did have problems with their printer... sure... stuff happens. I think the larger problems though are just poor communication with customers about product delays (which happen and are reasonable) and slow responses to emails, requiring continuous effort by the customer to get information on an order. I think they just have their priorities of kilter.

Sorry for my cynicism but I would expect, 90 days from now, to get some other delay notification on Boke. All very disappointing... I will not be pre-ordering anything from DRP, ever.

Re: Forthcoming Books
 

I need to keep a list of whatever I've pre-ordered. It's a bit offensive to get Kickstarter announcements for new campaigns from DRP when they haven't even fulfilled their old campaigns.

Re: Forthcoming Books
 

DRP is a complete and hopeless mess with their production schedule. And they never learn from their mistakes. I've been waiting for I AM THE ABYSS for ages. And they always launch all these ridiculous Kickstarters. Look at a good press like TARTARUS that announces something for sale, then you order it and swiftly receive it.

Re: Cemetery Dance
I'm one of the 586 who went in for Norman Partridge's as-yet unreleased "10/31: The Butcher's Tale" a little over 8 years ago. A novella! This one is all on the author, though.
