TO BE PUBLISHED IN SIGNED, LIMITED HARDCOVER EDITIONS
Hard Case Crime Announces Collectible Hardcover Editions
of Stephen King’s New Novel
New York, NY; London, UK (May 13, 2013) – Stephen King’s new novel JOYLAND, which will be published as a paperback original on June 4 by the award-winning Hard Case Crime line from Titan Books, will also be released a week later in three hardcover limited editions for collectors, two of them signed by the author. All three hardcover editions will feature both a new cover painting and nine black-and-white interior illustrations by the legendary Robert McGinnis, the painter responsible for more than 1,000 classic book covers as well as the iconic movie posters for Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the original Sean Connery James Bond movies. JOYLAND will be the first book ever fully illustrated by McGinnis, whose 70-year career includes induction into the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame alongside Norman Rockwell and Maxfield Parrish. In a nod to the look of classic crime novels, the hardcover editions will also feature a map on the back cover, drawn by Susan Hunt Yule, of the Joyland amusement park where the story takes place.
The three hardcover editions will be available from Titan Books and can be pre-ordered starting today from the following web page: www.titanbooks.com/joylandlimitededition. There will be a numbered edition of 724 copies signed by the author, priced at $75 (£55.99), as well as a rarer lettered edition of just 26 copies priced at $200 (£150) that will be signed by the author and packaged in a handmade collectible traycase. An unsigned gift edition of 1,500 copies will also be available for $40 (£29.99).
Set in a small-town North Carolina amusement park in 1973, JOYLAND tells the story of the summer in which college student Devin Jones comes to work as a carny and confronts the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and the ways both will change his life forever. JOYLAND is a brand-new book and has never previously been published. One of the most beloved storytellers of all time, Stephen King is the world’s best-selling novelist, with more than 300 million books in print.

Hill on Under the Dome
Posted: May 11, 2013, 05:50
_
Well, we have received our first official review of the Under the Dome pilot…and it comes from none other than author Stephen King ‘s son, author Joe Hill. This means, A. the pilot is actually done, or at least in a fine cut at this point, B. Stephen King does not dislike it enough to not allow his son to see it, and C. Joe Hill likes to go public with nearly everything he thinks. The Under the Dome pilot does not air on CBS until June 24th, so it is not uncommon for a pilot to be finished this long before a premiere date. Pus, CBS gave an order to make Under the Dome a straight-to-series type of series. This means, that they decided to go forward with 13 episodes without even seeing a pilot. This used to never happen, especially. when shows like Michael Bay’s The Last Boat get a order and they decide to wait a full calendar year between shooting the pilot and the first regular episode. However, these days, anything is possible in television, even broadcast television. Of course, comparing it to Lost is a little unimaginative for a best-selling author, but I am sure he is not allowed to say much more. Conjuring up memories of Lost is probably what the Under the Dome producers want him to do anyway. Whatever works for ratings, I guess.

New ending and a second season ?
Posted: May 7, 2013, 09:06
_
1. What is this new ending...
2. What happens if there is a second season?
3. If there isn't a second season, will we get a satisfying ending?
"Under the Dome" is coming to CBS this summer, the story of a small town that suddenly finds itself encased in a giant dome. Creator Brian K. Vaughn teases the outline of the show for SFX, which he says will have three distinct sections.
"The first section is fate. The second section is fear. And the third section is fascism. I won't say who is the fascist or what exactly that means, but I think you get the sense that things are going to go wrong very quickly under the dome, and we're going to need an iron fist keeping order," says Vaughn.
He also reassures fans that people who have read the book won't necessarily know exactly what's coming.
"There's sort of a perhaps slightly different explanation for the dome," says Vaughn. "I nervously pitched Stephen King what a different version of the ending might be ... He said, 'I wish I'd thought of that.'"
"Which, I suspect, is just Stephen being kind," laughs Vaughn. "But he's been great."
Neal Baer, the showrunner, adds that the series can be seen as a parable for the times we're living in.
He tells Huff Post Live, "What does it mean for your town when you start to run low on food, fuel, medicine? What happens when the dome gets a little polluted when you're burning stuff for heat? It's not a big step to think about what that means for us, running low on fuel, running low on water, what about pollution."
"We can do a show that touches on these issues -- that's why we call it a parable for our time without being preachy or pedantic."
It all leaves us wondering -- what does a Season 2 look like? That's a little cart-before-the-horse, but CBS is not running "Under the Dome" as a miniseries, meant to only air this summer.
If it is successful, the show will be renewed for a second season. We wonder what happens then -- will there be more story to tell? And if it doesn't get renewed, will Season 1 wrap up the story in a satisfying way?
"Under the Dome" premieres Monday, June 24 on CBS.
