The Dark Man Deluxe Signed Limited Edition Artwork Portfolio!

The Dark Man Deluxe Signed Limited Edition Artwork Portfolio
100 Drawings & Paintings Including 15 New Pieces Never Before Seen Anywhere!
Signed by Glenn Chadbourne and Limited to Just 500 Sets
Housed In a Deluxe Padded Box With Satin Pullout Ribbon and Magnetic Latch

Already 50% Sold Out!

Hi Folks!

We’re very pleased to announce we’ve made exclusive arrangements with Glenn Chadbourne to collect 100 pieces of artwork from The Dark Man by Stephen King into one giant artwork portfolio, which will be SIGNED by Chadbourne on a special signature sheet and limited to a one-time production run of just 500 sets. These special artwork portfolios will never be reprinted or reissued.

The Dark Man Artwork PortfolioWe’re doing something completely different for this artwork portfolio, too. Because the stack of artwork will be too thick for a regular portfolio folder, we’re designing a deluxe padded box with a satin pullout ribbon and a magnetic latch to secure the lid closed when you store the portfolio on your bookcase. There will be one-color hot foil stamping on the front and “spine” of the box, too, so it will look like a deluxe Limited Edition/Lettered Edition traycase.

We’re matching the production materials from the Limited Edition traycase of The Dark Man for these beautiful deluxe boxes, so these signed Limited Edition artwork portfolios will be the perfect addition to your collection!

COLLECTORS PLEASE TAKE NOTE:

If you ordered the Limited Edition of The Dark Man and you order this artwork portfolio, please REPLY to your order confirmation for the portfolio and let Mindy know because we can match your numbers so you have a matching set.

Included in each portfolio will be:

* 71 pieces of black and white interior artwork from the book

* the 2 author and artist “photos” as drawn by Glenn Chadbourne for the book

* the artwork for the 2 signature sheets for the signed editions without any of the text

* 8 pieces of full color artwork from the book including cover paintings, back cover paintings, frontispieces from the signed editions

* 13 brand new black and white drawings that did not appear in the book

* 2 brand new COLOR drawings that did not appear in the book

* the full color alternate artwork we did not use for the bookmark for the Slipcased Trade Hardcover

* a brand new piece of artwork for the portfolio’s exclusive signature sheet that will be signed and numbered by Glenn Chadbourne

So this set includes EVERY piece of artwork in the book, including the signature sheets that will only ever be seen by the collectors who were lucky enough to snag a copy of the Limited Edition or Lettered Edition before they sold out, along with 15 new pieces that have never been published anywhere before!

This Deluxe Artwork Portfolio is a bargain at $125 per set and we must limit collectors to just 5 sets each due to strong demand.

Remember, this is a ONE-TIME printing of the artwork portfolio and we will NOT be printing more!

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and enthusiasm!

The Influence, Submerged, and Shocklines reviewed in Booklist!

Hi Folks!

We’re very pleased to announce that Booklist loves three more of our upcoming releases, which will greatly increase the number of copies libraries are ordering, so don’t wait to get your orders in for the Limited Editions while supplies last!

The Influence by Bentley Little

The Prophet“Laid off from his engineering job, down-on-his-luck Ross accepts an invitation to live in his cousin Lita’s guest shack in the microscopic desert burg of Magdalena, Arizona. There he finds a simpler life that appeals to him, a girl he’s crazy about, and some hideous miniature kangaroos with rat faces. Okay, let’s back up. It was during local bigwig Cameron Holt’s New Year’s Eve party that the entire assemblage celebrated at midnight by shooting their guns into the air. The problem? Their bullets hit something. Something god-awful. Right now it’s stored inside Holt’s smokehouse. And its influence is bringing some people fantastically good luck and others bad—very bad. It’s also turning Magdalena into a jungle of mutated creatures that would make Dr. Moreau proud: gigantic chickens, zombie dogs, living cookies, animate scarecrows, whistling flowers, and oh-so-much more. Yes, the criminally overlooked Little might go a little too crazy here, but his small-town-loses-its-sh-t recalls his masterful The Mailman, and that should be all the recommendation fans need.”
Booklist, Daniel Kraus

Submerged by Thomas F. Monteleone

Submerged“In his latest novel, sf and horror veteran Monteleone tells two stories at once, alternating back and forth between them. Erich Bruckner is the captain of the U-5001, a revolutionary new German submarine, in 1945. The U-5001, described as ‘an underwater aircraft carrier,’ is Germany’s last, best hope of victory in WWII, but its mission is incredibly daring and dangerous. In the present day, Dexter Bucklin is a wreck diver who discovers evidence of a German U-boat sunk in (of all places) Chesapeake Bay. But what was this oddly shaped sub’s purpose? As Bruckner’s and Bucklin’s stories merge, we begin to see that there’s a third story here, dark and mysterious, which gives the book an added, surreal dimension. Monteleone is an accomplished writer—his 1992 novel The Blood of the Lamb won a Bram Stoker Award—and with a genre-blending plot that combines WWII submarine thriller (see Edward L. Beach’s classic Run Silent, Run Deep) with a story of modern-day maritime archaeology and adventure (see Clive Cussler), this book is sure to garner him some new and enthusiastic fans.”
Booklist, David Pitt

Shocklines edited by Richard Chizmar & Matt Schwartz

Shocklines“Chizmar, anthologist and publisher of Cemetery Dance, and Schwartz, founder of the horror-themed website Shocklines.com, present 19 new horror stories by authors such as Tim Lebbon (prolific author of genre novels), Ted Kosmatka (author of two excellent speculative-fiction novels, The Games and Prophet of Bones), Yvonne Navarro (popular author of several books set in the “Buffyverse”), Norman Prentiss (award-winning author of short fiction), and Rio Youers (author of the novel Westlake Soul). The stories cover a wide range of ground, from subtle character studies to outright shockers to twisters in the style of Tales of the Unexpected; but what unites them all is the high quality of the writing. A lot of anthologies have a few bright lights and several less successful tales, with one or two clunkers; here, there is a uniformity of excellence, and it would be hard to single out any story as being better than the others. For fans of horror short fiction, a must-read.”
Booklist, David Pitt

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and enthusiasm!

Stephen King: News from the Dead Zone #159

Check out the The New York Times Magazine in this Sunday’s paper for a cover story called The Kings of Maine. The text is online at this link, but there may be more pictures in the print version. The author of the interview also posted a sidebar on the Times site: An Easter Egg Hunt With Stephen King and Family.

King will be making three stops on his book tour for Doctor Sleep. First, he’ll appear with his son, author Owen King, in New York City on September 24th at 7:30 PM, presented by The Center for Fiction at the Gerald Lynch Theater at John Jay College. Then he’ll be at the  Colorado Chautauqua Auditorium in Boulder on Wednesday, September 25th at 7:30 PM. His final appearance is an event hosted by Harvard Book Store at 7 PM on September 27th at the Memorial Church, One Harvard Yard, in Cambridge, MA. See King’s official web site for links to the various sites and the full details of each event.

Under the Dome has been a big hit for CBS. Factoring time-shifting viewers and people downloading it on Amazon, more than 15 million people have been tuning in. Last week, CBS announced that they are renewing the series for a second season. The first episode of the 2014 series will be written by King. A lot of people have been complaining about how much the series diverges from the novel. King addresses these complaints here. On CBS Sunday Morning, King took the producers to the Maine town that was the inspiration for Chester’s Mill:  Stephen King and his compulsion to write. And this was pretty funny: On David Letterman, Bruce Willis joked  that he was joining the series, playing “the guy who lives right next door to the dome.” Because of the realities of filming outdoors, the producers have had to make some concessions about the weather. It’s impossible, for example, to eradicate the wind, so they published the rules of Under the Dome.

Here is a report from King’s recent appearance at Mark Twain House and a video of the event.

During a Q&A session promoting Under the Dome, King said that he’s halfway through a novel called Revival. During his interview at Mark Twain House (see above), he said, “The main character is a kid who learns how to play guitar, and I can relate to this guy because he’s not terribly good. He’s just good enough to catch on with a number of bands and play for a lot of years. The song that he learns to play first is the song that I learned to play first, which was ‘Cherry, Cherry’ by Neil Diamond. One of the great rock progressions: E-A-D-A.”

In an interview with The Atlantic, King discusses why he spends “months and even years” writing opening sentences.

The AARP website has posted an excerpt: Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep Revisits The Shining — Nearly 30 Years Later. During the premiere of Under the Dome, CBS ran an ad for the book.

Haven creators Sam Ernst and Jim Dunn have sold a pilot to ABC based on the short story “The New York Times at Special Bargain Rates.”

NBC has announced plans for a miniseries remake of The Tommyknockers. Emmy Award winner Yves Simoneau (Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee) is attached to direct.

After years of being unavailable, The Golden Years is once again on DVD and Blu-Ray.

The Dark Man by Stephen King Reviewed by The October Country!

Yet another glowing review for The Dark Man by Stephen King has arrived, this time from Blu Gilliand over at The October Country. Here’s just part of what he had to say:

“The poem itself is told from The Dark Man’s point-of-view, and it’s an effectively chilling piece of work. The world he describes is not unlike most King settings, a place where mundane sights like all-night filling stations and wheat fields exist beneath an ominous ‘savage sickle moon,’ and where sits ‘a gutted columned house leeched with vines.’ It’s strong imagery, and it’s easy to see how aspects of the character bled over into King’s later work…

But where The Dark Man really comes to life is in the marriage of King’s text to Glenn Chadbourne’s stark, brutal imagery. Thumbing through the book you can almost feel a cold October wind coming off the pages, and you can almost smell the desperation and fear permeating the desolate, broken landscape. Chadbourne’s distinctive style has graced a number of King/Cemetery Dance projects, but never has it felt like a more perfect fit than it does here. The drawings are dense, packed with details that seem to shift and flow of their own accord so that each time you study the pages you see something else.

It may not be for everybody, but a book like this is sure to please adventurous readers looking for new insight into one of King’s most well-known creations. The Dark Man is a moody leap of faith by the creators and the publisher that pays off handsomely in the end.”

Booklist loved The Dark Man by Stephen King!

Booklist loved The Dark Man by Stephen King!

Another tremendous review for The Dark Man by Stephen King has arrived, this time from Booklist, one of the top sources of book reviews for libraries! We don’t normally reprint full reviews, but this one really sums up the project nicely for anyone who is on the fence:

“Purportedly scrawled by a college-age King on the back of a restaurant place mat, this glowering poem introduced a wandering character of ultimate evil, who would later mature into Randall Flagg of The Stand, The Eyes of the Dragon, and the Dark Tower series. Therefore, even though this is a curiosity, it’s a significant one in the King mythos, and Chadbourne’s black-and-white interpretation gives the spare text just the rotten juice it craves. The poem itself is the sort of metaphysical, apocalyptic piece you might expect from the late 1960s, but is nonetheless evocative. It begins, “i have stridden the fuming way / of sun-hammered tracks and / smashed cinders,” as we follow the slow nighttime progress of a smudgy man traversing a moonlit America of busted merry-go-rounds, dilapidated trains, and agonized cemeteries. Wordless pages fill out the five-stanza poem, with Chadbourne’s flat, snarled pencilwork hiding snakes, spiders, rats, and faces in every twisted tableau. It’s all suitably ominous, and bewitched fans will be able to draw a direct line between this and The Gunslinger (1982).”

— Daniel Kraus, Booklist
