It can’t really have been two months since I last updated this site, can it? Apparently so. My apologies. I’ve been somewhat busy with an as-yet-unannounced book project that I hope will interest y’all when I can talk about it.<\/p>\n

So, what’s new? The biggest thing, probably, is the fact that The Wind Through the Keyhole<\/em> is starting to ship from Donald M. Grant. If you ordered the Artist Edition, you’re at the head of the list, though us poor alphabet-challenged people will have to wait a little longer than the Andersons and Billings and Carpenters of the world. My review of what King calls Dark Tower 4.5 (because the contemporary action takes place after the ka-tet leaves the Green Palace) will appear in the next issue of Cemetery Dance magazine.<\/p>\n

I won’t bore you with news about the various remakes of movies based on King’s works. None of them seem to be going anywhere fast these days. However,\u00a0I wrote an essay for FEARnet about the various Carrie<\/em> adaptations, both cinematic and dramatic:\u00a0Carrie On<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What’s King reading these days? According to Entertainment Weekly<\/em>, he’s deep into the second volume of\u00a0George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire<\/em> series.<\/p>\n

Issue #1 of Road Rage<\/em>, IDW’s graphic novel adaptation of Throttle<\/em> is out this month, as is The Way Station<\/em> #4.<\/p>\n

King has commented about how he reworked the ending of 11\/22\/63 in response to feedback from his son. The original version of the last page or so of the manuscript<\/a> is now available on his website.<\/p>\n

Do you have your copy of Cycle Zombies<\/em> by Stephen King? Nope, me neither. When showrunner Kurt Sutter asked King if he had a book he would like to promote during an episode of Sons of Anarchy last fall, this is the title King came up with. Sutter put his art department to work, and you can see the results here<\/a>. Note that the text below the image is a spoiler for the fate of a major character, so if you haven’t seen the most recent season yet, don’t read the text!<\/p>\n

King was at the Savannah Book Festival last weekend. He read from the opening pages of Dr. Sleep<\/em>, the sequel to The Shining<\/em>. This is a different passage than the one he read from last fall and features Danny and Wendy. You can find audience videos of the reading on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of The Shining<\/em>, you might be interested in Room 237<\/em>, a documentary that digs into Kubrick’s film and comes up with some surprising deductions and extrapolations. Some articles about the movie:\u00a0Cracking the Code in \u2018Heeere\u2019s Johnny!\u2019<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Fascinating \u2018Room 237? Will Forever Change \u2018The Shining\u2019 For Audiences<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This week’s Saturday Night Live featured a sketch in which “Maya Angelou” stars in a \u2018prank show.\u2019\u00a0 One of her victims is Bill Hader playing Stephen King (which can be seen in this video at about the 1:40 mark<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Just a couple of months until the premiere of Ghost Brothers of Darkland County<\/a>. I’ll be attending and will file a report after the event. A\u00a0guest star-packed studio concept album is scheduled to be released on May 22 in both a single disc and 3-CD deluxe edition.<\/p>\n

“Fair Extension” appears in the charity anthology Rage Against the Night<\/em> to benefit King expert Rocky Wood. I also have a story in the book, which you can order here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Herman Wouk is Still Alive” was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award in the short fiction category.<\/p>\n

I found this in-depth\u00a0essay fascinating:\u00a0You Can’t Always Get What You Want: On Stephen King<\/a>\u00a0from The Nation<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
