The first-ever book (fiction) project from Frank Darabont, the Academy Award-nominated director of The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption! This wonderful novella features full-color dust jacket artwork and b&w interiors by the legendary Bernie Wrightson (Cycle of the Werewolf and The Stand limited edition). Plus an Introduction by the author.

Howard Walpuski is a struggling writer trying to make his way on the tough streets of Hollywood. And like so many others, he dreams of the big-time. But times are tough and when he walks into the run-down repair shop with his old typewriter under his arm and five bucks in his wallet, he figures it's about to get a lot tougher.

But he's wrong.

Because not only is his typewriter fixed that afternoon at the old shop... so is his life.

Suddenly he is writing like never before... and suddenly his work is selling like never before. In fact, before long, he's a star on the fast track to certain fame and wealth.

But there's a price to pay for his overnight success.

And Howard Walpuski must pay it... in blood.

Walpuski's Typewriter is packed with dark chills and terrifying suspense and laced with a brilliant streak of black humor. It's one of the most compelling reads of the year and should not be missed!

Resurrection	04/06/2007 - by David Montoya from Salt Lake City, UT US
I couldn't stop reading this book. Walpuski's typewriter is entertaining, full of nightmares and tongue in cheek horror. As the reviewer above me pointed out, this book is a great first novel. It's genuine, original, and Richard Chizmar deserves many thanks for resurrecting this piece of literature. Comedy, horror . . . maybe I just have a soft spot for authors who will do anything (ANYTHING) to be acknowledged. Cheers, David
Great 1st Novel!	02/17/2006 - by Paul Little from Dallas, GA US
This is a great read! Very good story of letting desire to be famous corrupt your life. The kind of story that reminds you of the chill in your spine when you first read the classic THE MONKEY'S PAW. Be careful what you wish for!
