About the Book:
World Fantasy Award winner Cemetery Dance Publications, critically acclaimed
artist Glenn Chadbourne, and New York Times bestselling author Stephen
King are proud to announce The Secretary of Dreams (Volume Two). This
second venture into the world of Stephen King's stories contains even more artwork
and detailed illustrations that could only have come from the inspired hands
of artist Glenn Chadbourne!
The Secretary of Dreams (Volume Two) continues where
the first acclaimed volume left off: combining classic tales of terror from
the mind of Stephen King with the haunting artwork of Maine artist Glenn Chadbourne.
This unique book displays an incredible and original blend of King's words with
Chadbourne's one-of-a-kind B&W illustrations: text and artwork brought together
to tell these chilling stories in a whole new way.
As you venture into this new volume of The Secretary of Dreams you'll
discover "The Monkey," "Strawberry Spring," and "In
the Deathroom" presented on beautifully designed oversized pages. These
stories are heavily illustrated with spot artwork, full page illustrations,
and even multiple-page art spreads. Dozens of painstakingly crafted illustrations
bring King's characters to life.
Also within this collection are "Gray Matter," "One for the
Road ," and "Nona," which appear for the very first time in full
graphic format as imagined by Chadbourne. Not one word from
King's original manuscripts has been left out. Instead Chadbourne presents the
stories through a variety of techniques: traditional paragraphs of text merged
directly into the artwork, handwritten bursts of dialogue to convey emotion,
and even multiple fonts to match the mood of each scene.
Like the first volume of The Secretary of Dreams, this is a new collection
of Stephen King's greatest short stories presented in a way never before imagined.
Glenn Chadbourne has spent over two years creating the artwork within these
pages, digging deep inside the text to make each of these classic tales burst
off the page.
An original Cemetery Dance Publications publishing event, this deluxe oversized
hardcover edition is the World's First Edition and there are no other editions
planned of this title at this time. As with the first
volume (of which there are only a few hundred copies remaining), we will
not be selling this title at a discount, and we will not fill any orders for
distributors who will be selling it at a discount. Amazon wanted over 2,000
copies of Volume One (which would have sold it out on publication), but The Secretary
of Dreams (Volume Two) will only be available directly from Cemetery Dance
and a few independent booksellers we've worked with for years.
