    Yeah i liked the cover for TWTTK but the layout was rubbish, the cover for NOS4A2 though just doesn't fit the story though imo, this story is gritty and that cover is childish

    The cover for this makes it seem like this isn't going to be a serious novel at all. It wouldn't seem so much like that without the moon part of the cover. I plan on getting the trade edition of this, but not interested in finding the limited edition on the secondary market.
    Ya never know RJK you may read it and find the cover fits perfectly. Me I really have no opinion on it. You can't have a perfect cover every time. I mean I know we've had some covers that I really didn't like at all. On a side note though I actually didn't have a problem with the artwork for TWTTKH, the only thing I didn't really like about that one was the cover design (as in title and author layout).

    True. I do love the work for The Strain.

    Don't get me wrong i think he's great at comic art, but that style, for me after reading the book, doesn't fit this story, and i'm really disappointed that he's illustrating The Shining, for the money they are planning to charge i think they could have got a top artist! It's the 1st King S/L that i won't be going for, not even a gift edition.

    I haven't seen the artist's other work besides the Locke/Key comin which I do like, but it "is" comic book art. A different style. And as the cover for NOS4A2 seems to fit with the comic style, at least to me, I am not overly hopeful for the art in the book, but who knows. The other concer is that he is now the artist for The Shining too..........hhmmmmmm....

    Great story, read it last year, but i passed on the limited, i don't think the S/N is priced too bad but i'm not a fan of the artist and really don't like the cover
