Chain of Dogs: Archival Clamshell Box for Deadhouse Gates

$95.00

In the shadow of a dying empire, the chain of dogs winds across the desert, trailing memory, loss, and endurance behind it. The Chain of Dogs is a custom archival clamshell box for the Subterranean Press edition of Deadhouse Gates, capturing the book's solemn gravity and brutal beauty in material form.

Clad in medium brown linen, the case evokes scorched battlegrounds and sunburnt silence. Inside, the tray walls and spine insert are wrapped in golden brown Japanese book cloth, chosen to echo the arid palette of the dust jacket and the relentless sands of Raraku. Lined with buffered archival cardstock in a complementary tone, the trays create a safe, acid-free haven for the book’s fragile burdens.

A recessed spine label features a golden sword and border to match the golden tones of the tray cloth. Printed on premium vellum photo paper and coated in archival acrylic, the label offers both durability and refined finish.

Built to preserve, meant to honor, the Chain of Dogs holds the sorrow and steel of Deadhouse Gates in stillness. The journey inside is cruel. The destination? Always farther.

As the saga unfolds, so too will this series of enclosures. Each future Malazan Book of the Fallen volume released by Subterranean Press will receive its own archival clamshell box, crafted in harmony with those before it. The outer cloth will remain constant, a unifying shell, while the inner trays will echo the palette of each dust jacket—shades drawn from battlefields, warrens, and distant continents. Recessed labels, bordered with blades, will carry forward the visual lineage, ensuring that each box is both a tribute to its volume and a piece of the whole.

Product images forthcoming.

Dimensions: 10.06 in (25.5 cm) H × 7.06 in (17.9 cm) W × 2.50 in (6.4 cm) D
