    I'd like to do a limited of Duma Key. The book would have artwork throughout of all the pictures Edgar sketches and draws.

    Surprisingly, this has been considered to a different degree in a "Dolso" case w/Don Maitz in the somewhat distant future. Nothing definite yet or, in the "offing", but if there is enough interest it just may be possible!!!


    Have your opinion heard!!!

    So far we know that at least three proposals were rejected by King's office: Ben's Second Coming, Ben's Sword in the darkness and Centipede Press' The Shining.

    Does anyone know of other proposals rejected? Prototypes made?

    I would love for TBCL to design a Clamshell Case for "IT" (25TH) in black. Have it embossed multi-layered, multi-mage [sculpted] design silhouette of the Orbik cover. So I can replace the gift edition brown slipcase that I really do not like at all.

    Oh, they'll do a "custom" case for ya, no problem, dude. Problem is the price. I would imagine even if they mass-produced it. I dealt with them before I found, Dolso and bookslipcase.com. Trust me, if you think a finely crafted, durable and wooden slip/tray case is pricey you do not want to see what TBCL has to offer!! Don't get me wrong, their cases are of good quality, but make no mistake they charge for it!!!

    As mentioned earlier I think the limited of 'Salem's Lot is awesome but would have been even better had it included the original manuscript rather than the deleted scenes and related short stories from Night Shift. That said when I found out Doubleday planned to release a trade edition of the Centipede SL I approached them about including the original manuscript but, according to the editor, they were too far along with production to consider a change.
    I wasn't surprised and decided to take matters into my own hands. I have some small press publishing experience and figured it couldn't hurt to put together a proposal for a limited edition of Second Coming . I submitted a sample chapter along with images and explained the reasoning as best I could. The reality is SL is my favorite book, period, and accordingly I have a strong interest in how it originated. I was less interested in a limited edition per se and more interested in the possibility of making the original manuscript available to SL enthusiasts like myself to read. Based on comments I've read from SK about limited editions and signatures I was careful with my approach and indicated to him that it wouldn't be necessary for him to sign any copies. I didn't care about the signature, I just wanted the story published.
    Alas it wasn't meant to be. I received a polite thanks but no thanks from SK's mananger and that was it. From an objective standpoint it is easy to see why. The Centipede limited was published in 2004 followed by the Douleday trade edition a year later so it really didn't make sense to do anything else with the story. Of course that's the point!
    Anyway it was an interesting and enjoyable experience. As I was working on design and trying to decide what I wanted to do with images I contacted Glenn Chadbourne about the possibility of doing illustrations. SL is one of his favorite SK books and Glenn is very familiar with the landscape around Cumberland where Jerusalem's Lot is supposed to be located. I also contacted the Durham Historical Society about getting a picture of the real Marsten House (named after its last occupants) that was located on The Deep Cut Road. It overlooked a section of town called Methodist Corners and it is this house, along with the Shiloh Church in Durham, that was the basis for the Marsten House in SL. In the end I went a different direction with images. For posterity I've a attached a picture of the real Marsten House (circa 1920s) along with the painting by Robert Addison that I had planned to use for the Marsten House part opener in Second Coming ...
    This really is an awesome story and a beautiful book, I was wondering did you send one of your prototypes to King as part of the proposal? Or have you had a chance to show it to him at an event you have attended since? If he has seen it what did he think of it?

    Ken,

    Thank you for your kind words.
    My original intention was to send two of the prototypes to SK if the proposal was accepted. When that didn't occur I felt it would be inappropriate to send them after the fact.
    I've never attended an SK event so haven't had the opportunity to meet him. It certainly would be interesting to see his reaction if I were to present a copy for him to sign!

    Thank you for sharing the info about this amazing project that almost was. You mentioned softbound leather, is that what you did for the prototypes, I assume if you had a soft leather binding you would have to use silk or some other type of cloth end papers?

    Only one of the prototypes was soft bound (no boards); the other three were traditional hard bound. I used the same leather and interior end paper on all four although silk or cloth for the soft bound would have been nice.

    Default Your Fantasy Limited Edition/Rebound

    As the title suggests, what is your fantasy limited edition or rebound book? What would you include? How would you do the binding? If it's a new limited edition with illustrations, who would you choose as illustrator?

    The Tommyknockers illustrated by Mark Ryden. Subtly and finely bound in something that glows eerily green in the dark. I'm not quite sure how that could be made to happen, but it would be cool.
    Looking for:

    kinda like the old black light posters that glow... that would be cool.

    I think Duma Key S/L would be awesome. As for binding I like to leave that open but Artist would be Don Maitz all the way.
    Would also love a beautiful edition of 11/22/63. Cover should be pound cake . That one I think Tomas did an awesome job on the case he built for it so would not mind building on his ideas. As for Artwork I have no idea as I'm not a historical buff but someone that could do time-y pieces.

    Cancelling out all S/L's already done and the anniversary editions from CD and PS I would LOVE to see something done for Needful Things.

    kinda like the old black light posters that glow... that would be cool.

    I think Duma Key S/L would be awesome. As for binding I like to leave that open but Artist would be Don Maitz all the way.
    Would also love a beautiful edition of 11/22/63. Cover should be pound cake . That one I think Tomas did an awesome job on the case he built for it so would not mind building on his ideas. As for Artwork I have no idea as I'm not a historical buff but someone that could do time-y pieces.
    I have a copy of Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk with glow in the dark font and cover art, and it's just a regular trade PB. So I'm sure at the least that could be done relatively cheaply and easily.

    I would agree that something that has not gotten the S/L treatment before would be best. Duma Key would top my list, followed by Misery and Needful Things.

    Yeah I have that one too. Problem with most glow in the dark is it wears out over time. Probably UV fades it but it needs UV to work lol

    My problem with that book isn't so much the glow in the dark aspect, though I didn't know about those issues, it's that the book is pretty dreadful in my opinion.

    I've got a soft spot for it. I like books about aliens and The Tommyknockers was a really cool variation. I'd take that book over 75% of the books he's written in the last 10-15 years.
    Looking for:
    - Philtrum Press Eyes of the Dragon RED #165
    - Fine Viking Eyes of the Dragon proof

    I loved Fight Club, Choke, Survivor, and Lullaby. Haunted was up next, and I was horribly disappointed. I think I made it like 30 pages before I gave up.
