If you know Michael J. Fraughton's seminal work, The Dark Waltz, this is extremely good news. If not, this is your chance to jump on board. I recently learned that a very special limited edition of Michael's book is in preparation and is soon to be released.

This is an extremely limited run of fifty numbered and signed editions - Elegant black on black embossed hard bound with red head and tail and red placeholder ribbon. A special twentieth anniversary edition with linguistic editing to reflect older British Academic voice, new and re-imagined art and some special guest contributions will make this a most special must-have book. (I am told that eleven have already sold in the last seven days since pre-sale opened.)

Release date is Dia de Muertos 2015 (Nov 1, 2015)

The price: 66.6 GBP

This is wonderful news. I am excited for my copy!

I hear that over half are already sold.

I am incredibly pleased to share a very special edition of Michael Fraughton's Dark Waltz. As producer and co developer of the original Visions of Midnight which featured much of the material in the original book I have produced this special edition as a twentieth anniversary celebration.

Michael and I have been working hard from opposite sides of the Atlantic to bring this forward to you and together with some very special friends who have contributed new chapters we want to say thank you for all the years of magic we have created together !

The thing that really has me excited about this is that I finally get to read this book in the form for which I wrote it.

As I wrote, I had not envisioned a pdf, or the soft paper edition. In my mind it was always the tome that would look and feel at home among my props. This is going to be exquisite.
