About the Book:

Everything is about to change…

When Ross Lowry moves into his cousin’s guest house in the small community of Magdalena, Arizona, he expects nothing more than breathing room and a brief respite from his economic woes.

But something is not right in the desert.

After a raucous party on New Year’s Eve, the luck of the attendees undergoes an immediate U-turn. The rich and successful suddenly find themselves facing catastrophic failure while the less well-off are unexpectedly flush with good fortune.

This is only the beginning…

Soon the citizens of Magdalena are experiencing unnatural desires.

Next their children begin to disappear and freakish creatures emerge from the surrounding wilderness.

The community is unraveling at a frightening pace.

But these are merely the early warning signs of a showdown with a powerful force of darkness that could obliterate the world forever, and only Ross Lowry sees the danger that lurks ahead…

Yet another glowing review for The Dark Man by Stephen King has arrived, this time from Blu Gilliand over at The October Country. Here’s just part of what he had to say:

“The poem itself is told from The Dark Man’s point-of-view, and it’s an effectively chilling piece of work. The world he describes is not unlike most King settings, a place where mundane sights like all-night filling stations and wheat fields exist beneath an ominous ‘savage sickle moon,’ and where sits ‘a gutted columned house leeched with vines.’ It’s strong imagery, and it’s easy to see how aspects of the character bled over into King’s later work…

But where The Dark Man really comes to life is in the marriage of King’s text to Glenn Chadbourne’s stark, brutal imagery. Thumbing through the book you can almost feel a cold October wind coming off the pages, and you can almost smell the desperation and fear permeating the desolate, broken landscape. Chadbourne’s distinctive style has graced a number of King/Cemetery Dance projects, but never has it felt like a more perfect fit than it does here. The drawings are dense, packed with details that seem to shift and flow of their own accord so that each time you study the pages you see something else.

It may not be for everybody, but a book like this is sure to please adventurous readers looking for new insight into one of King’s most well-known creations. The Dark Man is a moody leap of faith by the creators and the publisher that pays off handsomely in the end.”

Booklist loved The Dark Man by Stephen King!

Another tremendous review for The Dark Man by Stephen King has arrived, this time from Booklist, one of the top sources of book reviews for libraries! We don’t normally reprint full reviews, but this one really sums up the project nicely for anyone who is on the fence:

“Purportedly scrawled by a college-age King on the back of a restaurant place mat, this glowering poem introduced a wandering character of ultimate evil, who would later mature into Randall Flagg of The Stand, The Eyes of the Dragon, and the Dark Tower series. Therefore, even though this is a curiosity, it’s a significant one in the King mythos, and Chadbourne’s black-and-white interpretation gives the spare text just the rotten juice it craves. The poem itself is the sort of metaphysical, apocalyptic piece you might expect from the late 1960s, but is nonetheless evocative. It begins, “i have stridden the fuming way / of sun-hammered tracks and / smashed cinders,” as we follow the slow nighttime progress of a smudgy man traversing a moonlit America of busted merry-go-rounds, dilapidated trains, and agonized cemeteries. Wordless pages fill out the five-stanza poem, with Chadbourne’s flat, snarled pencilwork hiding snakes, spiders, rats, and faces in every twisted tableau. It’s all suitably ominous, and bewitched fans will be able to draw a direct line between this and The Gunslinger (1982).”

Bev Vincent sent us some additional information discussing the differences between one of his previous books, The Road to the Dark Tower, and his new one, The Dark Tower Companion: A Guide to Stephen King’s Epic Fantasy for those who are curious:

“When I wrote The Road to the Dark Tower, I started off with the assumption that the reader had already finished the series. I was quite clear up front: venture beyond Chapter 1 and you will meet extensive spoilers about the series finale. The only way to discuss the implications of certain things was to reveal details from later in the series. The Road to the Dark Tower is analytical, delving into the meaning of things. I think of myself as a tour guide, pointing out things readers might have missed or not appreciated on the first pass.

The impetus for The Dark Tower Companion was the then-announced movie adaptation, which was supposed to be out this year. I thought that there would be an audience of people who would be introduced to The Dark Tower without ever having read the book. The Companion would be a handy reference guide for them. It quickly orients people to what the series is all about.

However, as I worked on the book, it became more than that–it covers just about everything related to the series, but is much less analytic than The Road to the Dark Tower. You can safely read much of it without being “spoiled.” If you can’t remember who a certain character is or in what book(s) they appeared, you can easily find that information. It’s also the first book to address the Marvel adaptations and their place in the mythos. It’s full of interviews, too–including one with King. I also interviewed Ron Howard and Akiva Goldsman about their plans for the movie and they were very revealing.”

First Reviews for The Dark Man by Stephen King

The first reviews of The Dark Man by Stephen King are arriving and they’re all extremely positive. Here’s a sample of one of them:

“While the publication of a new work by King is quite a coup by Cemetery Dance, I am more impressed with the work of Chadbourne. Each time I look over the pages, I find something new and enticing. This is a unique volume that ties the art to the words and gives a unique vision of two masters: King showing a glimpse of the beginnings of this unique talent that has entertained us for years; and, Chadbourne showing his mastery at understanding the written word and turning it into a not to be forgotten picture that enhances the experience. King, Chadbourne, and Cemetery Dance are a trio to contend with and this volume is a triumph in the trio of poetry, painting, and publishing. Don’t miss this one of a kind work.”
