Drawing on 35 years of Stephen King in print, Centipede Press’s second art book, Knowing Darkness: Artists Inspired by Stephen King, measures 11 x 15 inches. It has 448 pages and over 500 illustrations, including 30 double-page foldouts. From Carrie to Just After Sunset, this definitive collection of art spans King’s entire career, with newly commissioned artwork and reprinted art, most from publications long out-of-print that command premium prices. The book is signed by all 33 contributors including Bernie Wrightson, Michael Whelan and Dave McKean. An important collection and addition to the study of King. A number of the artworks are published solely for this work, having been inspired by King’s work rather than taken from previous publications. Rare and a must have for any King collector. Scrupulously reproduced with fidelity, shot from the artists’ original art or color-corrected computer scans, the art appears the way the artist had intended-a private gallery, as it were, showcasing the works of the most talented artists in the fantasy, science fiction, and horror fields. The book is printed on heavy matte paper, varnished for protection, and sports sewn signatures for repeated readings. The book is protected by a custom-fitted, illustrated slipcase.
