Riding the Bullet: The Deluxe Special Edition Double
Riding the Bullet: The Deluxe Special Edition Double featuring the complete original novella and screenplay; creepy movie 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 Publisher: Lonely Road Books About the Book: The road from print to the silver screen is often a bumpy one and much has been written about how a story is sometimes transformed to make it work in moving pictures. This is your chance to experience Riding the Bullet in a way only those close to the production of the film ever have. Start with King's original novella, then flip the book over and read the original script by Mick Garris. Compare what he kept, what he had to change, and even the storytelling flourishes he added to round out the tale. This highly collectible special edition will be published in the same manner as the Lonely Road Books acclaimed edition of The Arthur Darknell Double — in the tradition of the old Ace Doubles. This is the very first Stephen King Limited Edition to be published in this manner, and we're certain it'll be a huge hit with the collectors. Complete with stunning artwork by Bernie Wrightson and Alan M. Clark, this exclusive Lonely Road Books special edition is going to be one of the most discussed small press books of the year. (Since this is another publisher's book and we expect it to have a higher than normal shipping charge due to the size and the insurance fees, we have to charge $10 for US shipping. No coupons, discounts, Gift Certificates, Savings Certificates, or store credit of any kind can be used on this special offer due to the low discount we'll be receiving.) "Uncle Stevie’s 2000 novella—originally released online, it crashed servers everywhere—gets the red-carpet treatment in this deluxe double illustrated hardcover slipcased edition. First, you get King’s spook story about a hitchhiker who thumbs a ride from a dead man while desperately trying to reach his hospitalized mother. When you reach King’s plot-twisting end, you flip the book over and can then read Garris’s screenplay adaptation. Along with the script, this includes Garris’s director’s notebook sporting story boards, production schedules, and set photos, plus a gallery of wicked concept art by no less than Bernie Wrightson..." "If you're looking for a unique King experience, read this book, and then have a midnight screening of the film." Stephen King is the author of more than fifty books, all of them worldwide bestsellers. Among his most recent are the Dark Tower novels, Cell, From a Buick 8, Everything's Eventual, Hearts in Atlantis, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, Lisey's Story, Duma Key, and Bag of Bones. His acclaimed nonfiction book, On Writing, was also a bestseller. He was the recipient of the 2003 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. He lives in Maine with his wife, novelist Tabitha King. Award-winning filmmaker Mick Garris has written or co-authored numerous feature films and teleplays, and he is Creator and Executive Producer of Showtime’s Masters of Horror series, as well as creator of the NBC series, Fear itself. A Life in the Cinema, his first book, was a collection of short stories and a screenplay based on one of the included stories and his first novel, Development Hell, was published by Cemetery Dance. He has also published short fiction in numerous books and magazines. He is currently prepping a feature film based on Stephen King’s bestselling novel Bag of Bones. Garris lives in Studio City, California, with his wife, Cynthia, an actress, musician, composer and muse.
