Apparently this was announced (as a work in progress) a year ago at a July comic convention, so it's old news to some...
Authors of "Rod Serling's Night Gallery: An After-Hours Tour" and indispensable website on the series,
http://nightgallery.net/
will be releasing an oversize book of the show's paintings, with loads of related series photos, etc.
FB page dedicated to the book:
https://www.facebook.com/NightGalleryArtOfDarkness/
Submitted for your approval, Creature Features—the award-winning publisher of The Outer Limits at 50, The Fantasy Worlds of Irwin Allen, and Return to Tomorrow: The Filming of Star Trek: The Motion Picture—honors and celebrates the series’s fiftieth anniversary with Rod Serling’s Night Gallery: The Art of Darkness, a deluxe, limited-edition, hardbound volume showcasing the macabre, iconic paintings and sculptures that introduced each chilling tale of the famed anthology series.
Written by Scott Skelton and Jim Benson, coauthors of Rod Serling’s Night Gallery: An After-Hours Tour, this impressive 300-page coffee-table book is packed with more than 200 full-color images of the paintings, never-seen-before concept art, and many rare, behind-the-scenes photos along with detailed commentary by the original artists on the series, Tom Wright, Jaroslav Gebr, and Phil Vanderlei. The authors also trace the extensive history of the paintings, from the time they were created on the Universal Studios lot to their labyrinthine journey into the collector’s market to the present day.
Fully licensed by NBC Universal and featuring a foreword by author Anne Serling, youngest daughter of Rod Serling, and an introduction by Academy Award–winning director and professed Night Gallery connoisseur Guillermo del Toro, this book will be offered exclusively through CreatureFeatures.com in both a regular hardbound edition and a deluxe signed edition, autographed by the authors and artist Tom Wright.
Fascinating, engrossing, and boasting a stunning design, Rod Serling’s Night Gallery: The Art of Darkness is a must-read for any fan of Rod Serling, 1970s television history, or the development of the macabre in twentieth-century art.
Preorders will be taken in the coming weeks, with a sinister selection of promotional perks, including signed prints, cast and crew interviews, script copies, and other rare memorabilia. Specific details will be posted at www.creaturefeatures.com.
The book is currently being printed and is expected to be available late summer/early fall of 2020.

News to me, and great news at that!
I used a couple of these paintings as phone wallpaper one Halloween (such a nerd!).
Not too early to start the Christmas list.
Thanks!

There is a seller on ebay who sells poster prints of the most popular paintings. I received my "Cemetery" one last week and it is seriously awesome!. Going to get this book as well!

Got great memories of the series, and this book is so on in appropriate terms. Sort of thing I would simply have picked up without question as a younger man. Sadly it's way too prohibitive and slightly too borderline to import.
Looks amazing though, as do all their others. Everything they do is a labour of love without doubt.
