Lilja confirms the collection is the next book:
It’s now confirmed that King will release a collection after Duma Key. This is what the moderator on the official message board said: The next book after Duma Key will be a short story collection and most of the recent ones published will be in that.
Thanks Pablo.
It's nice that it is confirmed...but when?
Pure speculation on my part, but with Duma Key coming out in January 2008, I'd expect at least 6 months before Pocket Rockets was released.
Prediction: Release Tuesday October 7th, 2008
As I've said before, I just hope there are a couple of unpublished stories slated for this new collection.
John
Unpublished, yes. And hopefully the pagecount is more along the lines of, say, Skeleton Crew and N&D than Night Shift and Eventual.
Liljas Library states they have received confirmation the book will not be titled Pocket Rockets.
Awwwwww.....

I could see myself buying this.
Damn, I actually started to like the name!
Does Lilja have any idea what it will be called?
Why would one not buy a King book?Originally Posted by Ruthful
This is from Bev Vincent's site:
The joke possibilities are endless with that title!! (King promotes Unnatural Acts of Intercourse, etc.)Time magazine
Quote:
His next book of short stories, Unnatural Acts of Intercourse, will come out this fall or next spring, and he's working on a "novel that's going to be very long. I'll be killing a lot of trees if it gets done."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How's that for a title?
John
That title is even better than 'Pocket Rockets', which made me think of Pocket Billiards !!
Ha ha, great title! I still like Pocket Rockets better though! I wonder what the novel is? Maybe The Stand PT II?
I was thinking more of Talisman III.
John
Oh wow, just imagine if he reads from this in DC:
"Stephen King performed Unnatural Acts of Intercourse, to the delight of the audience at the Lutheran Church in Washington D.C."
I think King/Straub said they would not be able to do this until 2009.
The Talisman never even entered my head. Good call John! But if Mr. Rabbit Trick is correct what else is there? His finale?
and from The National Enquirer.....
King Collectors pay a high price for Unnatural Acts of Intercourse!

I doubt if it's T3, just from King's wording. Too many "I's" and no "we's"
Let's hope it's this fall, not next spring.
I never liked "Pocket Rockets", and while bizarre, "Unnatural" sounds more up King's alley. I love his short story collections, so I'm hoping for the best here.

My Collection
I agree.
It should not be published as a ' new ' collection unless there is at least ONE heretofore published tale.
