Subterreanean Press is taking pre-orders for a special edition of Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean’s MirrorMask: the Illustrated Film Script. The 26 leather and cloth bound hardcovers comes housed in a custom traycase and includes unique illustrations hand drawn by McKean.
It will include:
- The full screenplay, plus dialogue and other material cut from the finished film
- More than 1700 storyboards
- Two sections of stills
- The original back-and-forth emails and notes that formed the basis for the film
- A deluxe sewn binding to ensure a lifetime of enjoyment
- Each copy hand signed by Gaiman and McKean
Also, they still have a few copies of the limited and lettered editions of Ray Bradbury’s Farewell Summer, the sequel to Dandelion Wine.
Due to miscommunication with our printer, the three extra bits that were supposed to be exclusive to the Lettered Edition were also printed in the Limited. So in addition to a gorgeous version of the novel, the numbered edition will contain “Farewell Summer” a different version than the already published short story, as well as two other fragments, “The Strategy” and “The Small Assassins.”
Donald M. Grant will be publishing a book containing Stephen King’s The Little sisters of Eluria and the revised edition of The Gunslinger (which was published by Viking).
The book will be illustrated by Michael Whelan and will contain new art as well as the art originally published in the first edition of THE GUNSLINGER.
Price, schedule and other details have not been set and when further information is available it will be posted on our website and published in our newsletter.
Wandering Star Publishers just released a signed, limited edition of Robert E. Howard’s Conan of Cimmeria, Volume Two.
This is the second book in a three volume set, textually restored and
meticulously researched by Howard scholar Patrice Louinet, with original illustrations and stunning new full color oil paintings from award-winning artist Gary Gianni.Of special note are the never-before-published versions of “People of the Black Circle” and “A Witch Shall be Born.” The texts for these stories were taken from Howard’s original carbon and typescript, respectively, and feature an UNCENSORED restoration of the story text before it was edited by the original publisher.
