The Sibling Becomes Nicodemus; Teaser Trailer Arrives Listen up, King fans! This is very cool! Cemetery Dance Publications signed an exclusive deal to produce a six-volume set of special collectible editions of Stephen King’s early books that were originally published by Doubleday back in the 1970s and early 1980s! Read on for details!

From the Press Release
The books in this set are Carrie, Salem’s Lot, The Shining, Night Shift, The Stand, and Pet Sematary, six classics of the horror genre and all-time Stephen King fan favorites.

These are the books that launched King’s career and made him a household name, and our special editions will be beautiful and oversized volumes like we’ve published for From a Buick 8, It, Doctor Sleep, and many other King books over the years.

The first title in this special six-volume set is Carrie, which will be published later this summer and is available for pre-order immediately.

Other volumes in this series will follow approximately every six months after that, and several acclaimed artists are already creating stunning art for these books. These special editions will feature exclusive bonus features such as introductions, afterwords, artwork, and even deleted material in some cases.

We expect extremely strong demand for these special editions of Stephen King’s extraordinarily popular early books, and collectors who pre-order Carrie directly from Cemetery Dance Publications will be the first collectors offered the opportunity to order future volumes before the general public.
