Hey Brian... question for you. Will you be doing all 6 Artist books in the same CD fashion? Meaning traycase'd like the other s/l's we have seen for King OR will you be mixing this up a bit? Perhaps a Coffin shaped box for Salem's? maybe a cross style head stone for a pet... in Pet Semetary? Or a a clock shaped box with the hands at midnight for Night Shift... and maybe... for The Stand... who knows??? I am sure there are a million ideas. My overall fav books produced are yours BUT the best (my absolute favs) are the ones thought outside the box.. like Regulators to name one. I think you can knock this out of the park and thought it would be nice to have a set that is so different from anything else out there. Any thoughts given to this Brian?

They're going to be a matching set, so what you see with CARRIE is what the rest will look like in terms of production values and style. But I do have one idea in particular I'd love to pitch that would require very different production materials and a style of case that has never been used for any SK book before. It's also the sort of project that could only work if he was signing, though. We'll see...!

For those of you who ordered CARRIE from us, today's production update that we're sending you will have another sneak peek at the 'SALEM'S LOT artwork and it might just be my favorite piece yet... Watch your email this afternoon!

Brian

Woot!

I know some collectors won't agree with me because art is subjective, obviously, but the artwork for 'SALEM'S LOT is close to my favorite artwork we've gotten for a Stephen King special edition. It's going to be a very good looking book.

Can I be the first on the want list for this book?

Thank the gods! I had this horrid mental image of trying to display the books together and it looking like some Tim Burton(ish) skyline.

Hi Brian,

Are you able to tell us who the artist for Salem's Lot is?

Really.. I am surprised to hear that. I think the more different these books are (maybe not from each other but from all the others out there) the more special they will be... and set aside from the previous ones that so far have been done. I also WOULD LOVE to know what Brian has up his sleeve... sure hope King signs so we can do this! Even just one

[Brian James Freeman]

Hi Brian,

Are you able to tell us who the artist for Salem's Lot is?

We're holding off officially announcing his involvement until closer to the book's "official" announcement. We debated whether we should show the CARRIE customers these sneak peeks, but it seemed like a really fun way to say thanks for their support of what we're trying to do with the Doubleday Years. But this is an artist we've never worked with before, but we definitely want to work with him again!

In the Carrie 3D mock up production update email that just came out? I wasn't able to find any SL artwork.

[Aronstg]

Love the SL art... really different style and fits the book perfectly. Well done Brian!!!

It'll be a separate email with the subject line: "CARRIE Special Edition Production Update!" It should be on the way in the next hour.

In hindsight, perhaps I should have waited to post something since the general update was going out to the mailing list this morning, too! Sorry for any confusion.

Best,
Brian

[ICry4Oy]

Loved the SL art! .....kinda looks like Aaron Eckhart...

[Dano]

It's beautiful!

Dan

[webstar1000]

Nice SL art. Happy with that for sure.

[Brian James Freeman]

I'm re-reading 'Salem's Lot for the third time this year right now for production purposes. For some reason, today I was thinking about how many 'Salem's Lot and The Shining knockoffs came along in the '80s, and couldn't hold a candle to either one.

Brian

[T-Dogz_AK47]

Awesome artwork! I think I know who the artist is. LOL!

[The Library Policeman]

Anyone fancy sending me a link. I got my copy of Carrie thru PS Publishing so never got the email.

Thank you!

[Brian James Freeman]

Awesome artwork! I think I know who the artist is. LOL!

Here's a hint: it's definitely not me!

[The Library Policeman]

Man, I like that art a LOT!! <~~~ see what I did there?

Thanks Brian!

[Ricky]

I know who it is, only because he mentioned it to me as something he was working on, but I won't say who.

[Robert Fulman]

Are we allowed to guess?

[Randall Flagg]

Are we allowed to guess?

No.
Guesses are not allowed.
If you know for sure....then no reason to guess.









JK. Of course you can guess. This is the internet. Gore invented it just for this type of thing.

[The Library Policeman]

OK, OK it's me. Good, aren't I?

[Randall Flagg]

Are not I?
Is that one of the choices on the ballot for separation?

[The Library Policeman]

Arnott Aye!
