I want to be one of the artists of the cathedral that rises on the plain. I want to occupy myself by carving out of stone the head of a dragon, an angel or a demon, or perhaps a saint; it doesn’t matter; I will find the same joy in any case. Whether I am a believer or an unbeliever, Christian or pagan, I work with all the world to build a cathedral because I am artist and artisan, and because I have learned to draw faces, limbs, and bodies out of stone. I will never worry about the judgment of posterity or of my contemporaries; my name is carved nowhere and will disappear with me. But a little part of myself will survive in the anonymous and triumphant totality. A dragon or a demon, or perhaps a saint, it doesn’t matter!
—Ingmar Bergman
Check out these (mostly) awesome covers for the books from Millipede Press, which “is “dedicated to bringing the finest in horror and crime fiction back into print.”
I’m wrapping up David Goodis’ Nightfall right now, but intend to read the pictured book shortly. Huggable Maine native Stephen King says: “Trying to imagine what might have happened if Raymond Chandler had written The Exorcist is as close as I can come.”
Most of the books have worthwhile extras (short stories, introductions, etc.) too.
The sister company, Centipede, seems to do limited run fancy books and has a $1500 edition of Modcult-approved BoTNS on the way.

AVC: The whole idea seems the opposite of cynical, though you’re often pegged as cynical.
ZG: I’m not cynical when it comes to things that are important. I’m cynical about pop culture and all that horseshit. I’m more at peace on that farm. I love it. I have no idea what I’m doing at all, but it’s just fun… There’s just something inside me that wants to cultivate land.
way to use the quote feature i added for you.
You know whats weird about this? I almost posted a “Finn meet your next bday gift” the day before this. It was a special safe for storing pies. Whatev its never gonna beat the present that I’ve been wishing I could afford to get finn for his birthday for two years: the finn.bo domain. It’s like $500. And I think you have to be bolivian or something.
