About This Item
Baltimore: Cemetery Dance Publications, 2006. Book. Illus. by Glenn Chadbourne. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. A square solid tight clean unread copy. Slip case has some light rubbing wear else fine. THIS COPY IS IN MY POSSESSION AND WILL NORMALLY SHIP NEXT DAY. One of 5,000 trade editions. This unique book displays an incredible and original blend of King's words with Chadbourne's one-of-a-kind illustrations. As you venture into The Secretary of Dreams you'll discover "Home Delivery," "Jerusalem's Lot," and "The Reach" presented on beautifully designed over size pages. These stories are heavily illustrated with spot artwork, full page illustrations, and even multiple-page art spreads. Dozens of painstakingly crafted illustrations bring King's characters to life. Also within this collection are "The Road Virus Heads North," "Rainy Season," and "Uncle Otto's Truck," which appear for the very first time in full graphic format as imagined by Chadbourne. Not one word from King's original manuscripts has been left out. Instead Chadbourne presents the stories through a variety of techniques: traditional paragraphs of text merged directly into the artwork, handwritten bursts of dialogue to convey emotion, and even multiple fonts to match the mood of each scene. The Secretary of Dreams is a collection of Stephen King's greatest short stories presented in a way never before imagined. Glenn Chadbourne spent over two years creating the artwork within these pages, digging deep inside the text to make each of these classic tales burst off the page.
