We’ve been spoiled in recent years by getting two novels from Stephen King. 2016 will see the end of that streak. The recently published End of Watch<\/em><\/a> is the only book from King we’ll see this year. Later this fall, though, we’ll get Hearts in Suspension<\/em><\/a>, edited\u00a0by Jim Bishop, a collection of essays\u00a0by King\u00a0and others about his time as a student at the University of Maine. The publisher says that\u00a0King\u2019s essay is quite long (the longest of the set of about ten essays by various authors), and that the essay is \u201cfunny, truthful, and an involved work about Steve\u2019s experiences during the 60\u2019s, 70\u2019s and the anti-war work of the Vietnam era, and so much more.\u201d\u00a0King also discusses his \u201cGarbage Truck\u201d series that was published in the college newspaper. Since many readers look for these rare works, this will be an interesting insight into his series of columns.<\/p>\n

And then, of course, there’s the exciting news that the new Cemetery Dance edition of The Shining<\/em><\/a> will contain scads of extra material, including the rare prologue “Before the Play” and the long-lost epilogue “After the Play,” as well as a bunch of deleted material.<\/p>\n

\"king15\"Thought it’s not by King, the stories collected in the new Six Scary\u00a0Stories<\/a><\/em> from CD are selected by King and introduced by him.\u00a0\u00a0King discovered these stories when he judged a competition run by Hodder & Stoughton and the Guardian.<\/em> He was so impressed with the entries that he recommended they be published together in one book. How cool is that?<\/p>\n

King did a dozen or so publicity events across the country to promote End of Watch<\/em>. The Reno event at Barnes & Noble was recorded and you can watch the video here<\/a>. It’s on Facebook, but you don’t need an account to watch. There’s an audience recording of the Pennsylvania event here<\/a>, and a recording of the hour-long conversation between George R. R. Martin and King in New Mexico here<\/a>. King also appeared on the CBS Morning show<\/a> at the start of the tour.<\/p>\n

While he was on tour last month, King revealed that he had collaborated on a novel with his son, Owen. The book, called Sleeping Beauties<\/em>, is\u00a0set in the fictional Dueling, West Virginia, and revolves around a women’s prison in an area that is similar to Moundsville. No publication date has been announced for this book yet.<\/p>\n
