    Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition, Special Edition. A highly collectible Grant Gift Edition of Desperation by Stephen King, published by Donald M. Grant. This edition was issued in a limited run. This is the unsigned, unnumbered gift issue, bound in hardcover with the striking original dust jacket and housed in the publisher's textured red slipcase with gilt scorpion emblem—one of the most recognizable King slipcased presentations of the 1990s. The book is a First Edition and presents beautifully: clean, bright interior pages, tight binding, and a crisp, glossy dust jacket. The slipcase remains sturdy and attractive with only light, typical shelf presence. Set in the desolate Nevada mining town of Desperation, this novel is one of King's darker, more intense works—and this limited Grant edition is a standout piece for collectors seeking premium or low-run King publications. In hand and will ship within 1 business day. Don Maitz (illustrator).

Features an introduction by Stephen King, an afterword by Mick Garris, cover and color paintings by Don Maitz, and includes, "Before the Play," Stephen King's long lost 40 page prologue to the novel, which has been restored to its proper place at the beginning of the story. Other material included is a Deleted Material section, which contains hundreds of sentences, paragraphs, and even scenes not included in the final book. Of particular interest is a four page section toward the end known as "After the Play," which even Stephen King believed had been lost forever because he didn't have a copy in his archives; an essay entitled, The Shine Manuscript; printed on a heavy specialty paper stock; full color interior paintings by Don Maitz. The fact is that The Shining is a masterwork, a bold product of an original vision, a novel of astonishing passion, urgency, tenderness, understanding, and invention In its uniting of an almost bruising literary power, a deep sensitivity to individual experience, and its operatic convictions, it is a very significant work of art" (Peter Straub). Made into the 1980 movie directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Jack Nicolson and Shelley Duvall; later made into a 1997 TV mini-series starring Steven Weber and Rebecca De Mornay with a cameo appearance by Stephen King. A benchmark in the literary career of Stephen King and his third published novel following Carrie and 'Salem's Lot. The Shining stands as a cultural icon of modern horror, a searing study of a family torn apart, and a nightmarish glimpse into the dark recesses of human weakness and dementia. The Overlook Hotel claimed the most beautiful setting of any resort in the world, but the Torrance family saw much more than its splendor. Danny, blessed - or cursed - with a shining, precognitive gift saw visions hideously beyond the comprehension of a small boy. For Jack, Wendy, and their young son it is a place where past horrors come to life. And where those gifted with the shining do battle with the darkest evils. This tale of a troubled man hired to care for a remote mountain resort over the winter, slowly but steadily unfolds as secrets from the hotel's past are revealed, and the hotel itself attempts to claim the very souls of the Torrance family. "YOU'RE THE CARETAKER, SIR. YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN THE CARETAKER. I SHOULD KNOW, SIR. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN HERE. " Rare tangible. Printed in the U.S.A. Insured post. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
