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

The debut entry Cemetery Dance’s MySpace blog<\/a> is my report on The Three Kings event in Washington D.C. two weeks ago. There was also a nice write-up in The Washington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marvel announced Dark Tower: The End-World Almanac<\/a>, which will be published on July 2. “Woe unto those who traverse beyond the cursed Borderlands into End-World! ‘Tis a twisted and desolate realm where it seems as if the world passed ages ago. From the blasted landscapes of Thunderclap to the frozen heights of Empathica, End-World shows no mercy to unwary young Gunslingers. In a world where information\u2014and a bit of luck\u2014is the key to survival, the End-World Almanac<\/em> serves as your guide to the Badlands, Le Casse Roi Russe and beyond!”<\/p>\n

Gunslinger Born and its artists received a total of four nominations in the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards<\/a>: Best Limited Series, Best Penciller\/Inker (Jae Lee), Best Cover Artist (Jae Lee) and Best Coloring (Richard Isanove). The results will be announced at an awards ceremony on Friday, July 25 at Comic-Con International.<\/p>\n

“A Very Tight Place” will be in McSweeney’s #27<\/a>, due out on May 1. Much of this 70+ page story takes place in a portable toilet at an abandoned construction site and is classic King. It is also the first King story I can recall that has a gay protagonist. You can get discounted issues at Amazon. Otherwise you’ll have to wait until Just After Midnight<\/em> comes out this fall to read this great story. It’s not for the squeamish, though. Positively icky in places.<\/p>\n

Mick Garris will direct Bag of Bones<\/em> as a feature film, and executive-produce with Mark Sennett. The screenplay was written by Matt Venne. \u201cWhat appeals to me about King in general and Bag of Bones<\/em> in particular is how human it is,\u201d Garris told Fangoria<\/a>. \u201cThe recent King stuff is very adult and very passionate, which I really respond to. I just love the idea of doing a grown-up ghost story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are some reports about King’s appearance with Lauren Groff:<\/p>\n
