It looks like they reprint 'The End of the Whole Mess' from SK.
Wiki linkQuote:
"The End of the Whole Mess" is a short science fiction story by Stephen King which was first published in Omni Magazine in 1986, and later published in the Nightmares and Dreamscapes collection.
Here are some other promo items.

I always love seeing pics of that Cujo guitar.
Great promo stuff! So where's the Duma Key tennis ball that everyone seems to have (besides me)?
I just got these From a Buick 8 promo fuzzy dice yesterday...

The UK and movie promo items are really cool, but I have committed myself to sticking to the US and book promo items only.
I only have a few....
From a Buick 8 Fuzzy Dice
Wizard & Glass Promo Booklet
Lisey's Story Notebook
Black House Postcard
Here is my "want list"
Duma Key Tennis Ball
Hearts in Atlantis Playing Cards
What others have I forgotten that would fall under my criteria of US and book?
Jerome, yes, that guitar isn't a promo in the typical "freebie" sense.
John, thanks!
A few others were:
Waldenbooks also issued a set of dog tags for Hearts in Atlantis.
There was a set of magnets that was the first page of Bag of Bones.
The promotional ledger showed the first few hand-written pages of Dreamcatcher.
A CD was issued that had King reading the first chapter of From a Buick 8.
Four different-colored Dreamcatchers were issued for the movie (tan, red, brown and blue).
I have these, and I'm sure there are others out there too.

I have a neat press kit from the Nightmares and Dreamscapes series that comes with a pillow, along with single-episode DVDs of the shows, some of them with incomplete SFX and credits. That'll probably show up on eBay someday soon. I have the Hearts in Atlantis reading guide kit, too, along with the deck of playing cards.
