Part 2 of the Bill Thompson interview: https://suntup.press/keys-to-the-kin...pson-part-two/
I found this mighty intriguing:
I'd love to read that version of The Shining.Quote:
King had a tendency to bring in a second story that had nothing to do with the main story, but offered some kind of subplot that he particularly liked. In the case of The Shining, there was an entire subplot about 20’s and 30’s gangsters. They came and went as ghosts throughout the hotel. He had a whole cast of these characters in The Shining, and it just didn’t belong. I had him trim The Shining back severely.
Well, it would be cool to read that section as well. I think in the TV mini-series, they just added a little bit of that in the form of news paper articles that Jack found. I think.
It was a great interview. Trimming of the The Stand was done because the binding costs would have increased the price of the book to over $15.00 I think and they thought that
was too much. Plus he did not like the ending. He felt King rushed the ending. And back to the The Shining, remember there was that section "before the play" that was also cut
but brought back in CD version. So with both sections in, it would have probably been a much longer book.
Mi-dol as in pain relief medicine for menstrual cramps? God I love King! [emoji23]
Right Kris. You said what I meant to say, only better. I only meant that King did not sign it as Bachman because he was "dead".
King couldn't sign the BOOKS as King, because Richard Bachman was the author. Bachman could not sign the BOOKS as he was dead (succumbed to cancer of the pseudonym). They were able to find cashed checks that Bachman had written prior to his death, and enclosed them in the books.
Wow they’re real circulated checks then? That’s a hell of a collectible in its own right.
