I’m happy to tell you that the next publisher that has bought my upcoming book about Stephen King is my Czech publisher Carcosa who have already released my books Shining in the Dark, Stephen King: Not Just Horror and Stephen King: Stories From Five Decades of Storytelling. Now I’m very happy to announce that they will release my upcoming book Stephen King: (Odd) Anecdotes as well.
The cover for King’s sixth book, The Stand has always been a favorite of mine. The figure on the cover has always been intrigued me. Who are they and why are they fighting? Is this cover done exclusively for King’s book or are they using an already existing illustration?
Some of those questions have been answered. We know that the cover was done by John Cayea. And we know that it was based on a painting by Goya, the battle of Good and Evil.
The characters on Cayea’s cover are representations of good and evil in the book and are not any exact characters from the book.
As mentioned the cover is and has always been a favorite of mine. I even got the figures tattooed on my shoulder so when I saw these amazing figures I just know I wanted them. And now I do.
The figures are resin 3D printed, then painted black and dry brushed with bronze paint to give it a metallic look. And the base of each figure features the maker's logo laser etched into cork.
The creator of these figures are Jesse Nelson and you can find out more about them here.
Today the cover for Joe Hill’s upcoming book King Sorrow was released (check it out below).
