Full Moon Press
Full Moon Press was a small press publishing company that specialized in signed limited and lettered edition books in the horror and speculative fiction genres. It was started, owned, and operated by former NFL player, and author of the children's book The Christmas Chips, Paul Little and his wife Callie Little from 2008 to the start of 2010. On January 22, 2010 it was announced that the ownership of Full Moon Press changed hands over to Jason Stallingsworth, but by January 23, Full Moon Press closed its doors. This was due to Paul Little's severely declining health issues during his fight with Lyme disease. Altogether, Full Moon Press only released two books, The Wildman by Rick Hautala in 2008 and Carmilla/The Evil Guest by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu in 2009. [1]
Full Moon Press released their books in four different formats:
- Signed Lettered Edition Hardcovers - Limited to as many as 52 copies with extra features like full leather bindings, satin ribbon page markers, full color frontis pieces, extra artwork, traycases made of leather or wood and lined in velvet, and more
- Signed Limited Edition Hardcovers
- Signed Remarqued Limited Edition Hardcovers- this was part of a special deal for certain lifetime memberships. They are virually the same as the Signed Limited Editions but with an extra original drawing, or "remarque," on the signature page
- Trade Hardcovers
While starting up, Full Moon Press offered Lifetime Memberships for their Lettered Editions, Limited Editions, and Trade Editions.
