[INDEXED]The Dark Man by Stephen King

[Ben Staad]

So Brian how many hours did you end up putting in yesterday?

[Brian James Freeman]

So I am betting no one won the guess what it is contest, since the poem is pretty obscure.

Three winners, actually! They really reasoned it out, too, in their explanations, which were awesome to read! It was a very much "off the cuff" contest and informal, so I don't want to post people's names because I never said I would and I don't want people feeling like I posted their names without permission. But they're welcome to speak up if they're on here! (I also posted my little contest on another board where collectors are discussing it right now.)

Stealing from myself on another board where someone asked about the production of this book:

Starting back in January, Glenn went nuts on the artwork with a little bit of direction from us based on what we were hoping to do with the book. He also filled in a few gaps during the design phase. (The very last pieces, which I love but will save as a little surprise for when folks read the book, arrived over this past weekend.)


Kate handles all of the design based on ideas and concepts from our production meetings. In this case, there was a very specific rhythm to the poem that we wanted to convey as Glenn's artwork turned it into a kind of mixed media story.


This book isn't for everyone, but I think those who enjoy how King can use a few words to create very full, real life scenes and those who enjoy Glenn's artwork will get a real kick out of it.

Another signed limited missed. Not sure what time the announcement would have been in Australian time, next time will need to convert to local time and hit it early. Ended up getting a couple of trade editions, one for myself and alsoone for a friend.

Pretty damn fast sales. Did it break any records?

Hard to compare! The Limited Edition sold out faster than any previous SK Limited Edition we've done, but the print run was also smaller by 250 copies. (Even at our "normal" print run, it would have been gone in the same amount of time as Doctor Sleep, which I think is incredible!)
