Who Is The King In Yellow?

 I know that some of you have been curious as to what I've been hiding up my sleeve so here it is...

  Imagine a collection of Gothic horror fiction that was first published in 1895. Now imagine a very limited edition of that book in your hands. Thrilling isn't it?

   Originally published in 1895, The King In Yellow went on to inspire the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, who thought of the stories in the book as fantastic Weird Tales. As you read it, you will see a correlation between the fictitious play "The King In Yellow" and Lovecraft's own creation, the dreaded Necronomicon.

   There is now a time limited edition of Robert W. Chambers masterpiece The King In Yellow which features my painting, "The Arrival Of The King (King In Yellow II)" as the cover. Published by Underworld Amusements, this very time limited edition of the classic horror and Victorian Gothic fiction stories became available for sale on Amazon on October 29th, 2011 and will end on January 31st, 2012. No more will be printed after that date.

   This very special limited release coincides with Gallery Provocateur's 'Things That Go Bump In The Night" exhibit for which I painted my King In Yellow trilogy.

You can order your copy now at Amazon!

Halloween Weekend Shenanigans

   This weekend was a non-stop hectic blast of pure excitement. On Saturday night, the Opening Reception for Gallery Provocateur's "Things That Go Bump In The Night" exhibit was a crowded success. You can see a little glimpse of it in the video.

   On Sunday, while still recovering from the previous night, I attended the Vincentennial (honoring the 100th Birthday of the marvelous actor Vincent Price). Was able to meet his daughter Victoria Price, who was kind enough to personalize my first edition hardcover of her 1999 book, Vincent Price: A Daughter's Biography.

What did you all do over the weekend? Tell me about it in the Comments section below!
