4-0 out of 5 stars For the Alice Cooper Completist
I actually bought this book just for the "Dave Mc Kean" value. I was surprised to read a sick and twisted tale that rivals the comic series Todd McFarlane has done for KISS. It also has a great art by Michael Zulli, although I like his pencilled art on the Sandman series: the Wake. ... not a big Alice Cooper fan. I heard that lots of Cooper maniacs are after this gem from the now defunct Marvel Music series...

5-0 out of 5 stars a pretty nightmare
A wonderful story from some people with a beautifully twisted vision

5-0 out of 5 stars What a delightfully bizzare comic book!
The Last Temptation is based on a concept created by rock star Alice Cooper and Neil Gaiman (author of the Sandman comics).The story was the basis for Alice Cooper's album of the same name.However, after the album was finished it was clear that the story needed to be told.It would have been a crime to keep the story of Steven and how he was tempted by the mysterious Showman from the public.On the day before Hallowe'en one year, while walking home from school with his friends, Steven discovers an old theater.They encounter a strange man in a battered coat and top hat who offers them a ticket to the theater.It's the theater of the real, "The only entertainment that gives you undiluted wonder".However, there is only one ticket.Only one boy can visit the theater, and didn't your parents tell you not to accept presents from strangers?Steven's no fool, but when his friends accuse him of being to scared to take the ticket he has no choice but to follow the Showman into his strange, twisted carnival of souls.What Steven doesn't know is that this is the Theater of the Real, and he isn't just the audience, he's also the star, and the show must go on ...

Product Description

From the publishers of A Lovecraft Retrospective: Artists Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft.

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.

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.

Representing every artistic medium—collages, scratchboard, oils, acrylics, watercolors, graphite pencil, photographs, and digital art—the art reproduced includes virtually all of the work published in King's impossible-to-find, out-of-print limited editions, trade book covers (hardback and paperback), and movie posters.

Drawing on artists worldwide, this book includes work by Dave McKean, Bernie Wrightson, David Palladini, John Jude Palencar, Michael Whelan, Bob Eggleton, John Cayea, Rowena Morrill, Jill Bauman, Kinuko Y. Craft, Jason Eckhard, Les Edwards, David Ho, Allen Koszowski, Zach McCain, Alex McVey, John Picacio, Don Punchatz, Rick Berry, Douglas Smith, Thomas Canty, Glenn Chadbourne, David Christensen, Alan Clark, Ned Dameron, Linda Fennimore, Stephen Gervais, Mark Geyer, Phil Hale, Don Maitz, Steven Stroud, Drew Struzan, and Mark Ryden. As a special visual treat, some of the artists were asked to draw new pieces, based on their favorite King stories or novels, which will never appear anywhere else.

The text for the book—the in-depth profiles, the interviews, the essays—is by George Beahm, whose definitive books about King include a companion book, a biography, a price guide, a travel guide, and collections of essays. Beahm, who has published 30 books on various subjects, has also written extensively about artists and has worked with numerous artists for decades.

SIGNED EDITION: Comprised of two books, both laid in a matching traycase, this collectible is limited to only 300 copies worldwide. The art book has been signed by over thirty artists. A supplementary book of 20 prints (13x19 inches in full color) is also included.

Note: The book is not signed by Mr. Stephen King, nor does it have any text by him.

5-0 out of 5 stars Knowing Greatness
This is simply one of the most amazing books to be produced about Stephen King's world ever! The publisher has exceeded my expectations about what this book would be. There is page after page of stunning reproductions of artwork contained within the covers. It is nice to be able to view the images without the lettering (King's name and book title) super-imposed over them. Not only do you get to see the images as the artist made them, but you also learn what inspired them and about the artists themselves. Some share tidbits of what it was like to create something for the Master Stephen King. Although the price is steep for this volume, it is well worth having something like this in your collection. The only downside is the slipcase is not of the best quality, mine cracked along one bottom corner, be forewarned and use precaution when sliding the book out.

5-0 out of 5 stars Superb item
Beautiful, heavy book. Worth all the Dollars I payed for it (and with Amazon much cheaper than elsewhere!). Highyl recommended item for everyone who loves Stephen King.

5-0 out of 5 stars A monumental work
When I say that KNOWING DARKNESS is monumental, I mean that in every sense of the word.

First, it's big. And thick. And heavy. If you live in Maine and need to add some weight to your rear wheels to make it through the snow, toss a couple of these babies in the trunk.

Secondly, an epic amount of effort went into creating this book. The sheer magnitude of artwork assembled between these oversized covers is awe inspiring. I can't imagine the diligence it took to ferret these pieces out, or the quantity of supplications that must have been required to pry them out of the hands of publishers and collectors long enough to photograph, or the Herculean task of cataloging and sorting and laying them out into such a beautifully designed volume. One must be more than "committed" create a book like this. One must be obsessed.

But mainly, the book is truly a monument to the twisted imagination of Stephen King and the images it has conjured up in the minds of the talented artists represented herein.

Section one, "Early Art: 1974-1984," opens with a collection of artwork ranging from the pedestrian (some of the early book covers where the art, while technically fine, fails utterly to suggest the depth of weirdness within) to the ludicrous (advertising art for a Literary Guild newsletter that makes THE SHINING look like a Nancy Drew mystery) to the sublime (John Cayea's Boschian jacket art for THE STAND). It then presents portfolios by Don Brautigam, Stephen Gervais, J. K. Potter, Ned Dameron, Thomas Canty and Phil Hale, each portfolio accompanied by brief essays by George Beahm.

Section two, "Middle Art: 1985-1995," begins with an overview of book art and ably-written text, but on page 201 something remarkable happens: we encounter the work of Bernie Wrightson and a personal interview conducted by George Beahm and fantasy artist Tim Kirk. At this point I quit skimming the articles and slowed down to read every word...whenever, that is, I wasn't staring glassy-eyed at Wrightson's compelling imagery.

Section two continues to compel with artwork by Michael Whelan, Don Maitz, Dave McKean and Rick Berry. The astounding thing here is the sheer range of expression from artist to artist, all inspired by the same writer. Funny how the same words can conjure such varied images in the human mind, and how lucky we are that some of those humans possess the skill to share their inner imaginings with those of us who can only gaze in wonder and admiration.

The last section, "Current Art: 1996-present," features the work of John Jude Palencar, Peter Staminirov, Drew Struzan, Steve Stone, Darrel Anderson and Les Edwards. Article-wise, the standout offering is the Struzan piece. Struzan's work is iconic, gracing movie posters from the 1970s until his recent retirement, including posters for BLADE RUNNER, the STAR WARS and INDIANA JONES series and, presented here, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, THE GREEN MILE and THE MIST. While not as horrific as the other work here displayed, the accompanying article reminds us of what we recently lost as movie posters moved from the tactile medium of paint to bits and bytes rendered on computer screens. Like the legendary gunmen of the west, Struzan's retirement coincides with the end of a rich, textured era, the likes of which we will not see again.

In this way, too, KNOWING DARKNESS is monumental, commemorating what is likely to be the passing of a glorious era of hand-rendered art. Our consolation is that this particular body of work is so grandly and lovingly assembled to enjoy for decades, and even generations, to come.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best King-related book ever!!
What can I say. I've been reading Stephen King since 1975, have a collection of some 250 plus books, but never have I been as impressed by a King-related book as I am with Knowing Darkness. The quality of the reproductions is amazing; the all-round quality of the book (paper, binding, etc.) is the best I've ever seen.
Any King-fan will be proud to add this publication to his or her collection!

Highly recommended, without any hesitation.

5-0 out of 5 stars Awesome career-spanning collection
First off, in full disclosure, I am friends with the author and some of the artists in this book. I've also written five books about Stephen King's work and am working on a sixth, the second volume of my LOST WORK OF STEPHEN KING to be published by the Overlook Connection Press.) With that out of the way, let me say that even if I had no connection to the work and world of Stephen King other than reading him, I would be absolutely blown away by this stupendous volume.

As author George Beahm knows, I have never been a big fan of collecting art or of the efforts to illustrate works of literature. I just never responded to it in a way that would have transformed it into a passion.

Yet now, after sitting with KNOWING DARKNESS and flipping through every page, I can easily see the impact art can have when it is created to accompany a story, or a novel. This book is an enormous treasure trove of almost everything "visual" related to King's work, from book covers and line drawings, to massive full-color multi-page foldouts. The book is organized chronologically, which helps keep us grounded as to where in King's career the art appeared, but other than that, the "timeline" approach wasn't really necessary, since each art work is superb and there was no "evolution" of artistic interpretation of King's work over the decades. From CARRIE on, artists have responded brilliantly to King's stories, and it was an amazing experience seeing some of the characters and scenes I've known so well over the years.

Physically, the book is HUGE.It takes up the right quarter of my coffee table. The quality of the reproductions is breathtaking, and the accompanying essays provide historical, literary, and King-related insights into the works that are represented.

KNOWING DARKNESS is an expensive book, but for collectors, it's worth it. I've been trying to think of other authors whose body of work has lent itself to the type of artistic interpretation presented in this book. I could only think of a couple, although there may be more: JRR Tolkien and HP Lovecraft. With this volume, Stephen King is certainly in good company. All involved should be pleased and proud. The creation and publication of KNOWING DARKNESS is a milestone event in the fields of both art and literature.
