I mean I guess I could see this for maybe an Ed Mcbain or Tom Clancy, but King always seemed to demand better cover treatment (although I don't include the inside cover of Misery in that statement!).
It's like a cross between The Dark Knight Returns and The Stand. Well I don't care about the cover really, or I should say, that's the way it used to be. Take The Stand paperback, for instance. Pretty basic, and yes, effective, but it was the story that drew us all in. I can live with this cover. Though it looks as if it belongs on a paperback, not a hardcover.
In short, readers both familiar and unfamiliar with Stephen King's novels will find a motherlode of interesting information inside the pages of Brighton David Gardner's insightful and illuminating treatise.
I can't recommend it enough, so be sure to get it either for your Kindle or e-Reader of choice, or buy the print version because it's easily worth twice the cover price.
This cover; it's kind of "eh", don't you think?

ReplyDeleteOH MY! Shaun, you are totally right. It looks like the British version of The Stand
