Unique Dos-a-Dos Format Story and Film
Riding the Bullet [Signed, Numbered]
Publication: Baltimore, MD: Lonely Road Books, 2010. First Edition.
Notes: Copy 8 of 500 copies that pairs King's novella with Garris's screenplay in an innovative back-to-back binding, enriched with Bernie Wrightson's concept art and behind-the-scenes special effects documentation.
Lonely Road Books adopted the classic dos-à-dos format—where two works meet back-to-back, each with its own front cover—to showcase both versions of this ghost story. The volume incorporates Wrightson's preliminary sketches alongside halftone photographs comparing actors with and without special effects makeup, offering unique insights into the story's translation from page to screen.
Edition + Condition: First edition (first printing). Fine copy in fine dust jacket and near fine traycase showing slight corner wear. Signed by illustrator Alan Clark and screenwriter Garris in the center of the book. Tom Garner's lifetime subscription copy, matching his Subterranean Press number. Original printed notice about signature page location laid in.
