Unlock the mystique. Discover the music. Experience The Doors like never before.
Mark your calendars for May 13 – a monumental date for rock fans worldwide. NIGHT DIVIDES THE DAY is arriving in bookstores everywhere, and it’s poised to become the most definitive work ever published about the legendary band that changed music forever: The Doors.
Spanning 344 pages and containing over 50,000 words, this collector’s edition book is more than just a biography. It’s an immersive journey into the soul of the band from Venice, California—a deep dive into the story behind the sounds that defined an era. With exclusive interviews, rare photographs, handwritten lyrics, and personal artifacts from The Doors’ own archives, NIGHT DIVIDES THE DAY offers a never-before-seen look into the lives, art, and spirit of Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore.
Krist Novoselic of Nirvana reflects on the book’s depth and resonance, saying:
“I too am dedicated to the Doors. This is the result of a connection to the music which synthesizes Rock with the esoteric. The band grooves, but in a way that hangs in the ancient gallery.”
This volume goes beyond music, capturing the spiritual and philosophical essence that made The Doors more than just a rock band. It shines a light on iconic tracks like “Riders on the Storm”, a song that embraced haunting tones and unsettling inspiration. Based partly on Billy Cook, a notorious spree killer from 1951, the track remains one of The Doors’ most chilling and poetic creations.
Ray Manzarek once said:
“Jim was way ahead of his time in 1970, but he was pulled in two directions writing it… He didn’t want the song to be just about a killer hitchhiker… It becomes a very spiritual song.”
NIGHT DIVIDES THE DAY is your backstage pass into the mind of Morrison and the heart of The Doors. Whether you’re a longtime devotee or a curious newcomer, this book is a must-have for your collection.
