<\/p> $\"\"$ <\/a>Remember the gigantic H.P. Lovecraft art book<\/a> that blew everyone away (me included) last year? Well, the publisher of that book, Centipede Press, is back again with KNOWING DARKNESS: ARTISTS INSPIRED BY STEPHEN KING<\/a>. The book is in production right now, and the image at left by Michael Whelan is apparently NOT the final cover image, according to Centipede Press\u2019 website. Last year\u2019s Lovecraft art book had spectacular production values, and I imagine this new King art book will have the same quality, when it releases in November.\n

I\u2019ve been commissioned to do an all-new \u2018SALEM\u2019S LOT illustration, exclusively for this book. My wife is a longtime fan of Stephen King\u2019s books and when Jerad Walters hired me to do an original illustration for the book, he asked which King work I\u2019d like to illustrate most. I immediately phoned Traci and let her make the choice. \u2018SALEM\u2019S LOT was one of her all-time faves, so that was my pick, and it was a good one. Check out this list of artists also contributing originals: THE DARK TOWER (Michael Whelan); \u201cOne for the Road\u201d (Stephen Gervais); IT (Bob Eggleton); THE SHINING (Douglas Smith); HEARTS IN ATLANTIS (Les Edwards); DUMA KEY (Don Maitz); \u201cThe Lawnmower Man\u201d (Jason Eckhardt); THE TOMMYKNOCKERS (Alex McVey); BLACK HOUSE and CELL (Zach McCain); \u201cWeeds\u201d and THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON (David Ho); and more. Can\u2019t wait to see the rest of these originals! I\u2019ll unveil mine when it\u2019s finished. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
