\"Breaking<\/a><\/p>\n

King was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award in Toronto on Friday night. Here is his acceptance speech<\/a> and part of Chuck Klosterman’s interview<\/a> (video courtesy of Lou Sytsma, a frequent poster on my message board, who also posted these pictures of the event<\/a>). King’s publisher, Susan Moldow, mentioned that he handed her the manuscript for a new (“personal and moving”) short story, “I, Anna,” that morning. The story probably won’t be published until next year, and was inspired by the recent family death. Here are a few articles that cover the event: Chronicle Journal<\/a>, CBC<\/a>, Toronto Star<\/a>, Toronto Star<\/a> (follow-up with James Patterson, who was the brunt of a less than flattering comment by King during his interview). The event will run on Canadian television at some point, perhaps on Bravo, and will later be posted on The Hour’s web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are 8 new film clips from 1408<\/a>. Simon and Schuster is holding a contest associated with the tie-in reissue of Everything’s Eventual<\/em><\/a>. Cinemablend has a podcast interview<\/a> with the director, who also informed Bloody-Disgusting.com that King really likes the movie: “King was very pleased with the film, I’m happy to say. When you are adapting an author, especially one who has been around like he has, it’s very important that he approves. Even though the film contains more story, we are true to heart and soul of the short story.” King also doled out some specific praise for Cusack’s performance. Actress Mary McCormack told Bloody Disgusting that two endings were shot for the film, the original too much of a downer for mainstream audiences. The director said the DVD version will contain numerous deleted scenes.<\/p>\n

Blaze<\/em> comes out tomorrow. Here’s my review<\/a> and Lilja’s review<\/a>. Lilja is holding Blaze<\/em> week at his web site, with contests, interviews and prizes.<\/p>\n

Several people asked me how to get copies of the DVD of King’s interview with Charles Ardia at the Edgar Awards recently. It is available for purchase from the MWA web site<\/a>. Click on Order DVD\/CDs\/Tapes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I got a kick out of this: 50 reasons to love SK<\/a>. Especially #26, which is so true it’s funny. Or vice versa.<\/p>\n

I read “The Gingerbread Girl,” the 21,000-word thriller in the current issue of Esquire<\/em>, over the weekend. It has no supernatural elements, but that doesn’t keep it from getting the pulse pounding and the heart thumping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
