King's Way Press also offered a second traycase (above, right) separately for the other hardcover editions.  Most of the signed editions are numbered but some unnumbered, signed "PC" editions (Publisher's Copies) are in circulation.  Some of the limited editions included random pages from the original, handwritten manuscript. Samhain Publishing released a trade paperback version of Killer's Diary in 2013. In 2016, a printer's error produced a small quantitiy of "jumbo size" editions (8-1/2 x 11) that were sold exclusively at the Wizard World Chicago Comic Con and have become collector's items.
Rough Cut
The limited signed hardcover edition from Bad Moon Books.  Artwork by John Everson.
The amazing Chris Hedges of Hedges Bindery created this one-of-a-kind handbound edition of the first two handwritten drafts of ROUGH CUT with seven lethal knives secured to the cover.  Readers who pre-ordered the limited signed hardcover were entered into a drawing to win this mega-deluxe monstrosity.
Original handwritten manuscript pages   More stitches than Frankenstein's monster  Notebook paper interior        Yes, those are real throwing daggers  Read with caution, avoid slicing fingers  Belongs on everybody's bookshelf -- but there's only one       Chicago Blues     Limited edition hardback by Bleak House Books signed by the anthology's writers, includes a DVD of author interviews.
The limited editions of KILLER'S DIARY and ROUGH CUT are sold out but copies can sometimes be found on ebay. Check here.
