Since we last spoke, my book The Dark Tower Companion<\/em> came out in\u00a0trade paperback<\/a>\u00a0and eBook (Kindle <\/a>| Nook<\/a>). The reviews have been rolling in, so if you’re on the fence about buying a copy, check them out here<\/a>. One of my favorites says, in part, “Bev Vincent \u2026 is so fluent in Mid-World, one gets the feeling he has gone through a doorway and visited. Really, you have the sense that he\u2019s been there.”<\/p>\n

Did you miss your chance to see Ghost Brothers of Darkland County<\/em> when it played in Atlanta last year? If so, don’t despair. There are a couple of options available that will allow you to experience the show. First, you can order the soundtrack on iTunes or various other places. There’s a one-disc version<\/a> that has the songs interspersed with select dialog from the play and a 2-disc deluxe set<\/a> that comes with a trade paperback of the libretto and a DVD containing a\u00a0Making of Ghost Brothers<\/em> mini-documentary, featuring in-depth interviews with King, Mellencamp and Burnett along with the digital libretto and other bonus material. Then there’s the \u00a03-disc version<\/a> that has an additional CD that is just the music (no dialog) and a hardcover version of the libretto. The soundtrack will be available on June 4. Rolling Stone has been featuring individual tracks recently, including one of my favorite songs from the musical, Home Again<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, maybe you’d rather see the play itself. If so, you may be pleased to hear that the show is going on tour, playing in 20 cities in the Midwest and Southeast beginning October 10 in Bloomington, IN, and ending November 6 in Grand Rapids, MI. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 17 at 10am at aeglive.com. The full list of cities and dates can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

June 4 is also publication day for Joyland<\/em>. Check out issue 70 of Cemetery Dance<\/em> magazine for my review and an interview with Hard Case Crime publisher Charles Ardai. Thus far the only review has been from Publishers Weekly<\/a>, and it’s a good one. The audiobook will be narrated by Michael Kelly. Last week it was announced that Tate Taylor (The Help<\/em>) has optioned the film rights<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cemetery Dance has revealed some of Vincent Chong’s spectacular artwork for their limited edition of Doctor Sleep here<\/a>\u00a0and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Dollar Baby Film Festival<\/a> will be part of Comicpalooza<\/a> in Houston on the Memorial Day weekend. Twenty of these short films will be screened. I will be attending as a special guest. Shawn S. Lealos is hosting the event, screening his adaptation of “I Know What You Need”\u00a0and promoting his upcoming book Dollar Deal: The Stories of the Dollar Baby Filmmakers<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The film adaptation of A Good Marriage<\/em> is getting in gear. Filming will start in Sleepy Hollow<\/a>, New York. Joan Allen and\u00a0Anthony LaPaglia star as husband and wife, with\u00a0Kristen Connolly playing their daughter. Stephen Lang plays a retired investigator from the Maine Attorney General\u2019s office who is obsessed with solving a crime.\u00a0Peter Askin is directing from King’s screenplay.<\/p>\n

Only six more weeks until the premiere of Under the Dome<\/em>, the summer series on CBS. Dean Norris (Breaking Bad<\/em>), who plays Big Jim Rennie, tweeted a picture from the set with King<\/a> recently. Cast members and producers discussed the series recently at Wondercon. You can see video of that panel at the bottom of this page<\/a>. It’s hard to turn on ABC these days without seeing a promo for the show, but just in case you’ve missed them, here’s the latest teaser trailer<\/a>. Be on the lookout for a shout-out to The Simpsons<\/em><\/a> when the show airs. The plan is for this to be an ongoing series rather than a limited miniseries.<\/p>\n

JJ Abrams has stepped in with a proposal to turn\u00a011\/22\/63<\/em>\u00a0into a TV series after Jonathan Demme recused himself from the project.<\/p>\n

Season 4 of Haven<\/em> began production recently. Eureka’s<\/em> Colin Ferguson joins the cast as (what else?) a mysterious stranger.<\/p>\n

The Dark Tower comics from Marvel are nearing the end of their run. The second issue of Evil Ground<\/em>, the prequel to The Little Sisters of Eluria,<\/em> comes out this month. Then, in July, a one-shot called So Fell Lord Perth<\/em> ends the series.<\/p>\n

Could the Dark Tower adaptation find its way to Netflix?\u00a0Chief Creative\u00a0Officer\u00a0Ted Sarandos has revealed that he has talked to Ron Howard about the possibility. He says that he and Howard plan to continue their discussions after Arrested Development<\/em> is finished.<\/p>\n

Hard Listening<\/a><\/em> is a forthcoming e-book by members of the Rock Bottom Remainders. It is a\u00a0<\/b>collection of essays, stories, musings, group email exchanges, candid conversations, compromising photographs, and audio and video (semi-musical) clips, as well as interactive quizzes. It will feature a new King story, as well as stories by some of his collaborators written to imitate him.<\/p>\n

On July 18, King will appear at The Bushnell in Hartford, Connecticut<\/a>, in conversation with WNPR radio personality Colin McEnroe. Proceeds from the event benefit the continuing educational and preservation activities of The Mark Twain House & Museum. He and son Owen\u00a0will headline the PEN Canada annual benefit<\/a> on October 24. The Q&A discussion will be moderated by the award-winning mystery writer, Louise Penny.<\/p>\n

Want to blow your mind? Check out this flowchart of The Stephen King Universe<\/a>. You may think you’ve seen it before, but it was recently updated to include the Dark Tower series.<\/p>\n
