Coming to you first on the Dark Horse blog, we give you the cover to our newest horror novel, The Damned Highway!
The Damned Highway is a terrifying thrill ride across America. It’s only fitting that it should have a terrifying—and terrifyingly awesome—cover.
Cowritten by horror legend Brian Keene—two-time winner of the highly coveted Bram Stoker Award—and master storyteller Nick Mamatas, the story pulls you into the depths of a drug-fueled American nightmare. If you liked Lovecraft Unbound then you’ll die for The Damned Highway!
And if this cover looks strangely familiar to the horror junkie in you, it should! In an effort to dig up fresh content for a story about a Guillermo del Toro project[AG1], At the Mountains of Madness, the website Collider found this cover from the obscure 1974 edition of the book.
Dark Horse editor Rachel Edidin has the scoop on how the Ian Miller artwork ended up gracing the cover of The Damned Highway...
“Nick Mamatas stumbled across this cover on an old 1974 paperback edition of H.P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness and knew immediately that it would be perfect for Damned Highway; he was able to track down the artist, Ian Miller, who was willing to license us the right to use it--and the rest is history!”
