Hey Everyone,
Well, today is the day. What day is that? Well, it’s Dome Day!
I can’t believe that this is the day that Stephen Kings new novel Under the Dome is published. Well, I can believe it actually, I’ve been waiting for what seems like years for its publication. I wasn’t able to get a copy early, despite asking the people at the bookstore I frequent as nicely as possible.
For me, opening a new Stephen King book to its first page is like opening a Christmas present from a little known relative. There is always a sense of anticipation and build up, resulting in the opening of the gift…and with Stephen King you’re just never sure what you’re going to get.

At 1088 pages, this is going to be a beast of a book. I’m not going into it with any expectations because I know that King will take my expectations, cut them up into small gory pieces, and chuck them out the window. I don’t care if I get a hernia carrying this book around. I just know that it’s going to be good.
As someone who designs book trailers, I’m always interested in how a book publisher will try to tell the story visually. Well Stephen King’s US publisher (Simon and Schuster) and UK publisher (Hodder and Stoughton) have outdone themselves with trying to capture Kings new novel in under thirty seconds.
I find that the Simon and Schuster went for flash and bang and Hodder and Stouchton went for more eerie and thematic. But you be the judge. Take a look at the trailers below…happy viewing!
