Also, I may be the only one who's interested in these "cover to be unveiled" covers, I find them cool:

I remember I made such a big deal about making sure we had backups of the Bazaar cover as it was revealed in stages for historical purposes :)
Also, the 576 pages has to be a placeholder. That's the page count of The Outsider.
This would be THE book to have red blood dripping down the white edge.
this seems to be the actual cover - from an official King tweet:

(Nice Rat in a Cat motif there...)
Yes, without the EW watermark. Amazon should updated theirs soon, I imagine.
That was also the placeholder count for The Institute (which is actually 561 pages).Quote:

New publication date for IF IT BLEEDS, has been moved up to 4.28.20 per his publicist today in an email. No reason given but moving up a date is always good news!
For the US?
That seems a bit... odd, given the current context. I would have expected them to push if further, not closer
Yep, this is from his US publisher.
And I’m surprised as well. I was just thinking to myself earlier that I’m sure we will hear soon about a delay.
His website has the April date also
Try ordering the UK edition from THE BOOK DEPOSITORY. That's where I'm getting mine from.Quote:

But now I see that the date is back to the 5th of may of Amazon, but the Hodder website says the 28th of April. Still sent a message to my contact to enquire
Amazon US shows April 28, FWIW.
Yes, I got an email that my preorder was moved up a couple of days ago.
Any word yet on UK variants - multiple trade edition variants, Waterstones edition, WH Smith edition?
(I, for one, would be glad if they didn't have multiple trade edition variants, as Sleeping Beauties and The Institute had).

I think that it's optimistic given the british gov has declared a 3 weeks lockdown, so that technically ends just before that date.
But I reckon that the uk publisher is blocked in the way that they HAVE TO release it at the same time than the USA. Otherwise there would be discrepancy between english/american speaking people.
And on the other hand, it's optimistic for the USA to announce that date given the current situation. But the publisher probably got over a million copies printed and would rather not have to stock them until.... later on....
I however wouldnt be surprised if both the US and the UK release will be postponed to later. End of june? October would make sense for a King book as none has been announced this year. But that's months away, so months of stock to keep + significant decrease of revenue for the year
I mean people are isolating at home, what else is there to do but watch movies and read books. Makes sense, if it's all printed up.
