Does this woman look like she has mental problems?




And maybe like a gunslinger, too? Naomie Harris is apparently being considered as one of the main characters in The Dark Tower. Do yourself a favor and read the (phenomenal) books now before the plot's totally spoiled for you. (And read Salem's Lot before reading Book 5.)

Illustrations by John Picacio (and a very expensive book)

A few illustrations by John Picacio:


Cover for a limited edition of Dan Simmons's Drood (the best book I read last year.)



Cover to Michael Moorcock's The Metatemporal Detective.



Illustration for Stephen King's Salem's Lot.

That last illustration is part of Knowing Darkness: Artists Inspired by Stephen King. The deluxe edition measures 11 x 15 inches, has 448 pages and over 500 illustrations, including 30 double-page foldouts. And it's listed for just under $1,000 at Amazon.

Here's the cover and few interior pages:





And here's an unboxing video showing it off (the book is revealed 2:30 in):



The book and a few prints are also available here.
