Sounds pretty wild and looks to be straight fiction. Cannot wait!

Hey, he just seems to be showing thematic consistency. It all seems to make sense.
Anyways, I'm really looking forward to this one. Should be a fun ride.
Just ordered a copy at my library, #1 on the queue.

No I did not. A member did it.Was it you that did the cover? I prefer it. I dont really like the amazon one...Is that the cover?....I guess it is. I like our own mockup better.
I like the real cover, especially that grinning smiley, but it feels a little generic to me, like a Patterson or a Koontz cover.
Do we know who the publisher will be yet?
Any limited announcement?
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
We already know it's Scribner: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1476754454/
The smiley is the ONLY thing I like on that cover. The rest not only seems generic but unrelated (Mr. Mercedes = Bloody rain +Umbrella??)
I like the member's mock up better.
reality continues to ruin my life
I agree with you, TN but maybe it is something that is pertinent to the story itself? The "Synopsis" states that the bulk of the story takes place after he does his Mr. Mercede's-thing and that the stakes are even higher, so....The smiley is the ONLY thing I like on that cover. The rest not only seems generic but unrelated (Mr. Mercedes = Bloody rain +Umbrella??)

And I thought the cover of Dr. Sleep was bad. This one is awful. For some reason, the style reminds me of NOS4A2 cover. There are a lot of references and themes to the JFK assassination in King's works. One of the stranger images from that day was the "Umbrella Man" holding an open umbrella on the street as JFK was assassinated.
I dont like the cover at all. I think that they should have played on the Mercedes side, and not on a potential attack?
A bloody mercedes or something would have been quite cool it think...

I suspect the Mercedes Benz Car group would have something to say about that...

Yes. I like the cover fine, don't need to have the Mercedes on the cover - it's a silly title as it is, it was a working title that stuck, but it probably will make more sense once we read the novel. And the cover will also make sense once we read the novel. I like simple, so this is nice.
I don't think at all that it's the final cover.
