Thought so, too... I believe it must have been published in the US as well...
In the Netherlands, the Donald Duck was published in october 2005. The story is called "De Dreining".
Quick search : In the US; Donald Duck #335
In light of King's candid confessions about his booze and drug habits, you may want to check this out... it's an article on "Booze & the Writer" published in Writer's Digest, Oct 1978. Several writers filled in a "boozing questonnaire", including King. Interesting quote from that article: "I like to write when I'm drunk. I've never had any particular problem writing that way, although I never wrote anything that was worth a dime while under the influence of pot or any of the hallucinogenics. ... Writers who drink constantly do not last long, but a writer who drinks carefully is probably a better writer."
And another Writer's Digest, this one from January 1979, featuring "An Interview with Myself"
Murderess Ink (1979), including "How to Scare a Woman to Death" and also an article "Living with the Bogeyman" by Tabitha King. Well worth tracking down for the latter, although I do remember King's essay was a bit on the light side.
Horripilations including "On J.K. Potter: The Art of the Morph" The artwork in that book (including a couple of works from the Scream/Press Skeleton Crew) is unbelievable.
Archie Americana: Best of the Forties, including "The Importance of Being Archie"
You all know this, of course. It's The Far Side Gallery 2 by Gary Larson, one of my favourite cartoonists... King's introduction here was "On the Far Side"
Mr. Monster's Movie Gold, featuring "The Importance of Being Forry" (not Archie, this time...)
The two Weird Tales from 1990 and 1991, reprinted "The Glass Floor" and "It Grows On You"...
The Paris Review, "Ayana"
The Arbor House Celebrity Book of Horror Stories, with an introduction to some stories King picked for this volume
Whispers #11/12, "The Doll Who Ate His Mother"
Whispers #17/18, "Before the Play" & "It Grows On You"
Some introductions:
Transsylvania Station, by Donald E. Westlake and Abby Westlake
Tales from the Nightside, by Charles L. Grant
Tales by Moonlight, ed. Jessica Amanda Salmonson
Scars, Richard Christian Matheson
Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-In, by Joe Bob Briggs
Jim Thompson, Now and On Earth, great book, great intro
An even greater novel: The Ideal, Genuine Man by Don Robertson published by King's Philtrum Press. Lengthy introduction by King.
Something of an oddity: Here for Generations, with yet another introduction by Stephen King
Harlan Ellison, Stalking the Nightmare, intro by King
Horror: 100 Best Books, featuring King's entry on Burnt Offerings by Robert Marasco
Is that the first priting/edition of Murderess Ink? I just seem to recall that the first hardcover had a different cover.
Finally for now... a couple of years ago when I was bored one day I typed up all the Garbage Truck columns for myself for better reading, glued the pages, bound them in a small paperback of exactly one copy (the only "book" I ever made) and from time to time I carry this round with me in my pocket (conveniently wrapped up in some rough transparent foil), and cradle this neat little thing from time to time
No, it's the second printing of the trade paperback.Originally Posted by DanishCollector
You're right... but I believe Im Morgengrauen was first published in the autumn of 1985.
This is a wall in my living room, stuffed with books from top to bottom... though only a minor portion of it Stephen King ;-)
I'm also collecting classic ghost story anthologies and some paperback and trade paperback series published from the 60s through the 80s in the horror/sf field in Germany.
BTW Stephen King books are third row from top, arranged chronologically from left to right, separated German from English and American editions. It's not something I've spent much energy on, though. Sometime in the nineties, I stopped buying German editions and started to grab English hardbacks, sometimes they were cheaper than the German editions...
This just in... More Tales of Unknown Horror, ed Peter Haining, published in January 1979 by NEL and featuring the first British appearance of "The Night of the Tiger" I recently branched out in anthologies containing King stuff, there should be about 50 of them coming my way in the next couple of weeks...
Great wall of books! It looks like a really nice environment to read in.
Thanks... yes, I do enjoy it a lot. It was something I wanted to do for a long time.
Absolutely gorgeous wall of books. It looks stunning.
I must say I'm impressed with all the publications you have pictured here!
Also, very nice book collection! Don't worry, I can't read German so I guess I won't borrow any unless some are in English.
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...
Well, I'll have to free some shelf space when the new arrivals come trickling in...
