Stephen King Calendars

[herbertwest]

Hi,
with the merge of the upcomming calendar, i was wondering, which are the calendars that does already exists, and some explainations of their contents? (anything unpublished anywhere else???]


If i dont say any mistakes, i know that there were :

"OFFICIAL"
- 1986 (dont have any pictures...)
- 1993 : entitled YEAR OF FEARS
- 2006 : (include My Pretty Poney)
from the amazon.com presentation

inside the pages of this spiral-bound hardcover 2006 Stephen King Library Desk Calendar to discover: What question King answered correctly on Jeopardy! to beat David Duchovny and Lynn Redgrave The story behind why Stephen King was partly to blame for the Red Sox curse In his own words, why King wrote under the pen name Richard Bachman Kings tips for the aspiring writer The top ten list of Kings most popular characters Kings musical tastes The overlooked novels of Tabitha King, and much more.

but what is a broadside?

isnt a calendar, right?
take it off the list.

but what is a broadside?

take it off the list.

A broadside is on oversized print.
In this case is is 18"x24" in size.
It is not a calendar. Letters From Hell is an essay by King regarding some of the strange letters he has received from fans.
Here is mine:

Wow!

That is cool as hell. If I was over for dinner, we wouldn't be able to talk until I was done reading it.

Their loss.


Geoff bought one for me too, and it's great!

[Cutter]

Glad your happy Patrick. Yea I like them too, I've bought the last three years.

And btw, my extra copy is now gone.

Just found this thread (yep - still TONS of them on here I've yet to read!) and figured I'd post pics of the 1986 Year of Fear calendar and the new 2009 SK Library one.





I also have a 1998 Purina calendar with his dog, Marlowe, on it - and a cute comment from his master!

[DanishCollector]

"Letters From Hell" was originally titled "'Ever Et Raw Meat?' and Other Weird Qustions" and can be found in Secret Windows.

[CRinVA]

I was going to mention the Purina Dog Calender with Marlowe, but glad I read through the entire thread first - Gretchen beat me to it :-)

Here's another one from 1988:

[pickle]

There is one of those letters from hell currently up for sale on ebay, i think it was going for £300 (i think)

I would look it up but its 2.29am and im going to bed lol.

[Randall Flagg]

Any early info on a 2010 calendar?

[Bev Vincent]

There's going to be another BOMC one like this year's, also with some familiar names among the contributors.

[gsvec]

You sound "in the know", Bev!

[jhanic]

I KNEW there was a reason I belong to the BOMC!

As soon as I find any details, I'll post them here.

I guess it's the Stephen King Library. There's a different editor for 2010, but I expect it will look somewhat like the 2008 and 2009 editions.

[herbertwest]

found that on twitter :

jeffreysomers: I'm part of the STephen King Desk Calendar 2010, which is cool, and for a moment it seemed like we might organize a reading around it.

so i guess that we will soon start to see them. it's usually around this time of the year

[PlayPhish]

Thanks for posting the pic of the 'Stephen King's Year of Fear' 1986 calendar. I knew I had a calendar in storage somewhere, just couldn't remember which one...that would be it. Pictures of mostly paperback covers inside, correct?
