YES!!!!
Sounds like Four Past Midnight 2.0
Nice!
Wonder if they're old novellas or new ones. Pretty sure he'd been working on a lot of new material, but it could always be a combination. Can't wait!
Also, this must be the first time King's used punctuation in a book title?
Holy blue hell!! Hurry up November! I wonder if there will be another signing of any sort.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.

Wow, this is exciting news. The novellas have always been some of my favorites.
The Body
Shawshank
SWSG
The Mist
Langoliers

Well okay, except apostrophes. You know what I meant.
Great news.
Hmmm.... Previously unpublished novellas, but no mention of when they were written.
The Man In Black Fled Across The Desert...
...And The Gunslinger Followed.

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Ur was one of the four. I doubt Throttle would be included since it's a collaboration.
But Ur was previously published, if only electronically and as an audio. I wouldn't mind it, but I'd prefer something lengthier. Throttle will probably be included in King's next short story collection; he's always included oddities like poems and such, why not a collaboration with his son.
Update from SKMB
Steve has told me it's okay to say that one of the novellas is about Hemingford Home.

Lilja has posted the contents of the Hodder & Stoughton press release for "Full Dark, No Stars":
http://www.liljas-library.com/STEPHEN KING HAS MAJOR DARKNESS IN MIND FOR 2010 UNDER THE DOME, published in November 2009, reached more readers then any other King hardback novel published in the UK in the last decade.
Its publication, with a winning marketing campaign, demands a worthy successor for 2010, and Hodder & Stoughton are delighted to announce the acquisition from US agent, Chuck Verrill, of FULL DARK, NO STARS.
The November publication month that has proved so successful for UNDER THE DOME and JUST AFTER SUNSET will again provide a perfect position to launch this volume of four all-new novellas for Christmas 2010.
These darkly thrilling stories are all linked by the theme of retribution, and are a showcase for the power of King’s inimitable imagination – satisfying established readers whilst enticing new ones. Visceral, immediate and featuring just a few characters, this is the other side of King’s writing; contrasting intimate portraits after the huge canvas that was UNDER THE DOME.
For further information about FULL DARK, NO STARS please contact Kerry Hood on 020 7873 6l73. And for more information about Stephen King visit www.hodder.co.uk and www.stephenking.co.uk
Sounds very interesting!

So would anyone say UR has a theme of retribution?, I've not bought UR so I don't know what type of story it is.
Maybe it's too early to ask, but has there been any mention of limited edition(s) for this book yet?
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
I love King's novellas!
LOVE + PEACE = INFORMATION

welcoming to look forwrd to. At last a good reason for
time to be moving on so quickly!
