Does anybody else think that the artwork for Salem's Lot looks like the work of Bernie Wrightson?

Brian mentioned previously, that CD have never worked before with the artist selected to illustrate Salem's Lot. Bernie Wrightson worked on both From A Buick 8 and Dark Forces, so it definitely isn't him.

Personally, I thought the artwork on Salem's Lot is reminiscent of David Palumbo. He did the artwork for the Centipede Press edition of The Anubis Gates. His particular style of oil painting with the emphasis on light is very similar to that on Salem's Lot, especially the picture of Father Callahan holding the crucifix.

Check out my collection thread for examples of David Palumbo's artwork on my copy of The Anubis Gates. He is very talented and it would be a good choice for CD to select him as the artist for Salem's Lot.

I'm loving the artwork so far, can't wait for this one.

Yeah, forgot about that...

I have no idea who the Artist might be, but I do know that I like their work!

Who would be best to send a message to in relation to potential content of a grab bag?

I have one partially filled and one of the items will influence a future purchase.

Thanks

Thanks for the response on this, I now have direction for an order.

Brian, do you know when Salem's Lot will go on sale? I was out-of-communication and missed the special order window.

I'm thinking December at this stage, but we have to see when our printer finishes with Carrie.

What if we were in communication and never received notification of the window though we are in the CDCC and ordered the AE of Carrie? Was it not sent to everyone in these two groups?

You should have definitely received the email. Have you been receiving the monthly emails with "CARRIE Special Edition Production Update!" in the subject line? If not, send me an email and I'll look into it for you. Thanks!

I have been getting the updates, the last one I see is dated 10/13/14.

I ordered Carrie through PS Publishing and was wondering if this will also be possible for Salem's Lot (and follow up titles)?

Should I have placed an order already?

Also, any idea when Carrie will be in my sweaty trembling hands?

Yep, they will be carrying all of the books! They won't have 'Salem's Lot listed for sale until the official announcement, so you're okay if you haven't ordered. And hopefully Carrie will be shipping in December, even if I have to drive out to our printer's facility and do it myself!

I know you guys can't say for certain, but do you expect the prices to generally stay about the same for the next two books? Obviously the price for The Stand is going to be noticeably higher, as it's a longer book (especially if you are doing the uncut version), but The Shining and Night Shift fall pretty squarely between Carrie and 'Salem's Lot in terms of length.
