Booklist will be publishing a great review of The Dark Man early next month:


"Purportedly scrawled by a college-age King on the back of a restaurant place mat, this glowering poem introduced a wandering character of ultimate evil, who would later mature into Randall Flagg of The Stand, The Eyes of the Dragon, and the Dark Tower series. Therefore, even though this is a curiosity, it's a significant one in the King mythos, and Chadbourne's black-and-white interpretation gives the spare text just the rotten juice it craves. The poem itself is the sort of metaphysical, apocalyptic piece you might expect from the late 1960s, but is nonetheless evocative. It begins, 'i have stridden the fuming way / of sun-hammered tracks and / smashed cinders,' as we follow the slow nighttime progress of a smudgy man traversing a moonlit America of busted merry-go-rounds, dilapidated trains, and agonized cemeteries. Wordless pages fill out the five-stanza poem, with Chadbourne's flat, snarled pencilwork hiding snakes, spiders, rats, and faces in every twisted tableau. It's all suitably ominous, and bewitched fans will be able to draw a direct line between this and The Gunslinger (1982)."

Just a quick update on the shipping of these. By this time tomorrow all the remaining customer orders should be packed and ready to leave. Dave is working on the UPS single book orders now and we'll finish up any stragglers and the multiple copy orders tomorrow.

Cool, good job guys!

[Dan Hocker]

Is it really a second printing?

We are now taking orders for 2nd printings. 1st printings are still available to order for the time being, but we are having a 2nd printing printed.

Yes. My computer was acting up so after I orders the limited I had to reload and place another order. order.As I have said many times. I HATE WINDOWS 8!!!!!! He
Yesterday I got my notice for the limited also.

I take it you ordered the trade and trade with slipcase on two separate orders.

[subie09lega]

Okay, I'll try to be patient. Just let us know when the shipments of the US slipcased editions are done so I know if I need to panic or not.

Probably not. Squire's order was pretty early in the pile. Placement in the pile is determined by when your order was placed.

[Theli]

Any word on when non-US orders are shipping?

[Dan Hocker]

Why am I always the last to get the email? I hope I don't have another stuck order.
