“These were the ghosts which kept trying to come between me and what I was writing, kept insisting that I combine them, somehow, into a story that would tell what could have happened if there really was such a thing as telekinetic energy…”
— Stephen King, from the introduction
Carrie: The Deluxe Special Edition
Headed To The Printer This Month!
We’re pleased to report that Carrie: The Deluxe Special Edition will be headed to the printer later this month and everything is moving along right on schedule!
For those who are new to our list, we’ve signed an exclusive deal to produce a six volume set of special collectible editions of Stephen King’s early books that were originally published by Doubleday back in the 1970s and early 1980s! These books are Carrie, ‘Salem’s Lot, The Shining, Night Shift, The Stand, and Pet Sematary, six classics of the horror genre and all-time Stephen King fan favorites.
These are the books that launched King’s career and made him a household name, and our special editions will be beautiful and oversized volumes like we’ve published for From a Buick 8, It, Doctor Sleep, and many other King books over the years.
The first title in this special six volume set is Carrie, which is available for preorder immediately. Other volumes in this series will follow approximately every six months after Carrie is published and several acclaimed artists are already creating stunning art for these books. These special editions will feature exclusive bonus features such as introductions, afterwords, artwork, and even deleted material in some cases.
We expect extremely strong demand for these special editions of Stephen King’s extraordinarily popular early books, and collectors who preorder Carrie directly from us will be the first collectors offered the opportunity to order the next volume before the general public.
Special Features Exclusive To This Deluxe Special Edition:
• an introduction by Stephen King detailing why he wrote the book
• a lengthy afterword by Tabitha King discussing the book’s unbridled exploration of adolescent terror, sexuality, and the unknown
• deluxe oversized design (7 inches X 10 inches) featuring two color interior printing as part of the page design
• printed on a heavy interior specialty paper stock that is much thicker than the paper in a normal trade edition
• epic wrap-around full-color dust jacket artwork by Tomislav Tikulin
• a different full-color dust jacket for the Artist Edition painted by Tomislav Tikulin
• six full-color interior paintings by Tomislav Tikulin
• interior artwork will be printed on a heavy glossy stock and tipped into the book
• high-quality endpapers and fine bindings
• full-page reproduction of the telegram Doubleday editor Bill Thompson sent Stephen King to announce the publisher was buying the book
• extremely collectible print run that is a tiny fraction of the TENS OF MILLIONS of copies of this novel you’ve seen in bookstores over the last 40 years!
Thank you, as always, for your continued support and enthusiasm!
