From the SST site:
“A twisted little ditty. Only Glenn Chadbourne could give us something simultaneously this adorable and this grotesque. Chadbourne’s art is a balm for the horror fiend’s soul. He shows a master’s eye for detail and a jester’s sense of mischief. Instead of illustrating someone else’s stories, he’s stepped up and created his own at last, and it’s playfully grim madness. All I can say is, I want more.”—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Snowblind

The Rockabye Worm first came into being as song lyrics Glenn Chadbourne wrote a few years ago. Over the years he and some friends decided to cope with the harsh Maine winters by forming a silly little rock band called Nick Noxious and the Necrophiliacs. Glenn was a great lover of punk music back in the late ’70s and ’80s so all the tunes lent themselves to that flavor. He thought about a host of creepy kid’s rhymes and poems about worms playing piknuckle in your snout, etc., and then his tune about “The Rockabye Worm” was born. He thought it might make for an amusing illustrated story so he set to work. Glenn uses his trademark pen and ink drawings to create a fun little snack with a creepy-fun sort of atmosphere for those a bit bent, such as himself, and who like their gallows humor.
The Boothbay Register newspaper features an article today about Glenn’s visit to Boothbay Harbor yesterday. You can read the article on their site or by clicking the image below. Thanks to Bev Vincent for the heads-up!

If you haven’t already heard, Cemetery Dance has announced they’re publishing new editions of six of Stephen King’s earliest books.
Cemetery Dance: SIX New Stephen King Edition Announced Today
They announced this yesterday:
We’ve heard from a lot of collectors asking if Glenn Chadbourne will be illustrating a book in this set, but Glenn is actually contributing in a different way: he’s providing the B&W artwork for the Gift Edition Limitation Page and the two color paintings for the Artist Edition Signature Sheets for EVERY book in this set!
You can see now the artwork he’s provided for Carrie on the product page on the ARTWORK tab:

We think having Glenn contribute the artwork for the limitation sheets in each book be a nice way to connect every book in the set together and Glenn is delivering some of his most chilling Stephen King artwork to date.
Glenn’s illustrations for Carrie can also be seen below.
In addition, they announced today that Glenn is doing a limited number of full color remarque sheets for Carrie (the artist and gift editions). The remarques will be $149 each.
