From Cemetery Dance:
Cemetery Dance Publications is pleased to announce our World's First Hardcover Edition of THE DARK MAN by Stephen King, which will be available in bookstores and libraries across America on July 30th.
The Dark Man has never seen the light of day beyond a few hardcore collectors of King's college work, but many people consider it to be a prequel to King's epic end of the world novel, THE STAND, because it stars the first appearance of Randall Flagg, one of King's greatest villains.
This is a unique addition to the King canon, an eighty-eight page poem featuring extraordinarily detailed Glenn Chadbourne artwork on every page. We've taken this breathtaking poem and worked closely with acclaimed artist Chadbourne to bring King's chilling words to life in a unique way.
There was a very specific rhythm to the poem that we wanted to convey through the blending of the text and the artwork, and Chadbourne skillfully used his illustrations to create a new kind of mixed media story.
Feedback from early readers has been fantastic, with some saying they never expected a poem to make their heart race with terror and horror the way the ending of The Dark Man does.
We hope you enjoy this experimental project and we appreciate your consideration of this title.

Cemetery Dance Announces Special Editions of Upcoming Stephen King
Press release:
NEW HALLOWEEN HORRORS FROM STEPHEN KING AND CEMETERY DANCE PUBLICATIONS:
Full Dark, No Stars; The Secretary of Dreams; Riding the Bullet; "The Crate"
BALTIMORE Cemetery Dance Publications is launching the Halloween season with brand new books by horror legends Stephen King, Peter Straub, and Justin Cronin, plus the world's first hardcover edition of the Internet eBook sensation The Painted Darkness by Brian James Freeman.
First up, Cemetery Dance has a little bit of everything for Stephen King fans this fall:
Just announced is the Cemetery Dance deluxe special edition of King's new book, Full Dark, No Stars, which will also be published as a trade hardcover by Scribner on November 9, 2010. The tales in Full Dark, No Stars are bleak, featuring some of the darkest moments of any King work in recent memory, and Cemetery Dance brought together a team of five acclaimed artists to create nearly twenty exclusive illustrations for this special edition including black and white pieces and glossy color tip-ins. This fine collectible volume will be printed in two colors on a high-quality paper. This deluxe special edition, which will not be sold in stores, will ship just in time for the holidays in December.
Shipping now from Cemetery Dance Publications is The Secretary of Dreams (Volume Two) by Stephen King, an exclusive oversized and slipcased collectible special edition hardcover that is not available in stores. This beautiful book features classic tales of terror from the mind of Stephen King combined with the haunting artwork of Maine artist Glenn Chadbourne. This deluxe special edition has a very limited print run and there are no plans at this time for it to be reprinted in any other form.
Shipping just in time for Halloween will be Riding the Bullet by Stephen King and Mick Garris. This special edition "double book" is being published by Lonely Road Books, which is distributed by Cemetery Dance, and the striking volume features the complete original novella by King and screenplay by Garris; creepy artwork by Bernie Wrightson; a unique design with two color printing throughout; color wrap-around cover artwork and color interiors by Alan M. Clark; plus exclusive storyboards, photos from the set, production notes, hand-corrected script pages, and more from the Top Secret "Director's Notebook" kept during the production.
Also shipping next month will be Shivers VI, an anthology that features "The Crate" by Stephen King, his long lost novella that has never appeared in any of his collections, and "A Special Place: The Heart of A Dark Matter" by Peter Straub, a novella that is "creepy to the core" and "shines a terrible light on the back story of Straub's acclaimed A Dark Matter" according to the coveted Starred Review from Publishers Weekly.
Speaking of Peter Straub, Cemetery Dance has more good news for his fans. Shipping right now is a special hardcover edition of Straub's haunting Halloween tale, Pork Pie Hat, the story of a legendary jazz legend who witnessed a terrible event as a child in the forbidden woods outside of town and now must face the demons of his past one last time.
Also coming soon from Cemetery Dance this fall is a deluxe Special Edition of The Passage by Justin Cronin, one of the hottest horror novels of the last decade. This Cemetery Dance special edition sold out within four hours of being announced, and Stephen King called the book "your basic don't-miss reading experience."
Finally, Cemetery Dance will be publishing a trade hardcover edition of The Painted Darkness by Brian James Freeman, which took the Internet by storm this summer as part of a unique marketing experiment. Freeman and Cemetery Dance posted the entire text of the book for free on a promotional website, www.DownloadTheDarkness.com, and more than 10,000 readers downloaded the book and spread the word about this chilling tale that New York Times bestselling author Stewart O'Nan compared to "classic Stephen King."
The eBook is currently WOWIO.com's Free eBook of the Month, where thousands of new readers are discovering it. In fact, The Painted Darkness became the all-time bestselling Free eBook of the Month at WOWIO just two weeks after it was posted. The Cemetery Dance hardcover edition of The Painted Darkness will be the book's first print edition.

Cemetery Dance to Release Special Edition of Justin Cronin's "The Passage"
Highly anticipated horror novel gets special treatment
Justin Cronin's 'The Passage' to be published as deluxe signed edition by Cemetery Dance Publications
Cemetery Dance Publications announced Monday that it will publish a special deluxe, signed, limited edition of 'The Passage' by Justin Cronin, one of the most anticipated horror novels in the last decade.
The Cemetery Dance edition of Cronin's novel will be published this fall in an extremely limited run of just 876 copies signed by the author. The book will also include exclusive special features such as an afterword by the author, over three-dozen personal photos from his research trips with his notes discussing those sight visits, and a hand-drawn map. This deluxe collectible edition will be printed on heavy paper stock and will feature cover artwork from Tomislav Tikulin and black and white interior artwork from Jill Bauman.
"It has the vividness that only epic works of fantasy and imagination can achieve," Stephen King said. "Read this book and the ordinary world disappears."
'The Passage' chronicles a security breach at a secret U.S. government facility that unleashes the monstrous product of a chilling military experiment. This relentlessly suspenseful adventure is an epic chronicle of human endurance in the face of unprecedented catastrophe and unimaginable danger.
Random House bought the trade rights to the novel for a seven-figure advance after a heated auction between the biggest publishers in the world. Days later Fox 2000 bought the film rights in another seven-figure deal for Ridley Scott¹s production company, Free Productions. Recently the book earned a spot on The Wall Street Journal's list of top books to be released in 2010 and Stephen King, in his Entertainment Weekly column, declared 'The Passage' to be a "don't-miss reading experience."

New Stephen King Book Due from Cemetery Dance
Cemetery Dance Publications Announces Blockade Billy by Stephen King Surprise New Book Coming Next Month
Cemetery Dance Publications, the world's leading independent publisher of collectible horror and suspense books, has just announced Blockade Billy by Stephen King, an original, never-before-published novella that only the King of Horror could have dreamed up. The Cemetery Dance exclusive hardcover will ship mid-April.
"I love old-school baseball," Stephen King said, "and I also love the way people who've spent a lifetime in the game talk about the game. I tried to combine those things in a story of suspense. People have asked me for years when I was going to write a baseball story. Ask no more; this is it."
Cemetery Dance and Stephen King kept Blockade Billy under tight wraps so it could be a surprise publication for the beginning of the baseball season. Even diehard baseball fans don't know the true story of William Blakely, but in just a few weeks readers will be holding this dark tale in their own two hands.
"As a lifelong baseball fan -- and long suffering Orioles' fan -- I can't think of a better way to open the 2010 season than publishing Blockade Billy," said Cemetery Dance Publisher Richard Chizmar. "Stephen King and I have corresponded about baseball and books for almost 20 years now... So to combine the two is a dream come true for me."
Chuck Verrill, King's agent, said: "Any time a Red Sox fan, an Orioles fan, and a Yankees fan can cooperate on something, the result is bound to be fantastic."
For a very limited time only, Cemetery Dance Publications will include an authentic William "Blockade Billy" Blakely baseball card with every copy of the trade hardcover.
