Breaking News from the Dead Zone

According to Lilja, the newly discovered Bachman manuscript I mentioned last time is Blaze, written in the early 1970s. Visit Lilja’s site to read about his meeting with King in the UK.

Here is author John Connolly’s interview with King from the New York appearance. Here is a Podcast of King’s appearance on Simon Mayo on BBC Five Live. This file will not remain online for very long, so grab it while you can.

My pal Ali writes on his blog about meeting King, and here’s a write-up about his appearance in Seattle.
