NEW ITEMS THIS ISSUE with the 2010 Stephen King Calendar. Pre-order to guarantee your copy.
STAND 2 AMERICAN NIGHTMARES RELEASE will be available 2 months earlier at the Overlook than most bookstores! That's right, we'll be able to sell our copies in November. The bookstores will get their copies in late Jan or Feb. So order your copy today from the Overlook with the FREE PROTECTIVE BOOK COVER!
We've received a small allotment of a special issue of Welcome to Lovecraft by Joe Hill with a brand new story and several extras. The publisher also issued a limited cover version, and we only have 2 of those as it was VERY limited. I've offered them both below.
Stephen's short story, "Home Delivery" (Nightmares & Dreamscapes) has been optioned as a theater release and is in pre-production. No release date has been set at this time. John and Paul Buckholts of Our Thing Productions have written the screenplay and Japanese director Ryuhei Kitamura (The Midnight Meat Train) is scheduled to direct. (from StephenKing.com ).
In the last two weeks I've seen B.B. King, Creed, and Stained. At 83 King has still got the fingers... he may not be walkin' too fast, but the fingers are still talkin'. My wife finally got her wish to see Creed. She was one happy lady and you know the sayin', if mama ain't happy, NObody happy... and good music seems to do it everytime. Our 13 yr old is certainly well rounded when it comes to seeing all the shows we go to. Up next: U2 at the Georgia Dome. If there's one band that is always consistant.. it's U2 - great music and a great show every-single-time.
That's all this time out.. I've got to get back to work.. y'all sure do keep this Southern boy hoppin' ("boy" is really stretchin' it these days ;-).
