John,
thanks so much for the information.
I have redirected this to The Oracle, as it is the official Stephen King/Tower new and announcement thread. I have left a 24 hour redirect.

Thanks for the heads-up, John, and for putting this where the whole site will know, Jerome.

I'm also going to stick it out on the current news page.
Lots of work tonight.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Something else for me to buy next month.
sounds good i'm so glad there won't be much of a wait for this one, i'm starving for some new stories.
At least I wont feel as silly buying that as I did when "Low Men in Yellow Coats" was previewed in Womans Day magazine
I lurk, therefore I am.
Hmm....I'll have to pick up Esquire for the first time in my life then.
My favorite bands can kick your favorite bands' asses.
The horizon is right and motionless like the EKG of a dying woman.
You all didn't get the December 2003 issue of Esquire with King's story Rest Stop in it?

This is from the Stephenking.com newsletter I recieved:
In the emotional aftermath of her baby's sudden death, Em starts running. Soon she runs from her husband, to the airport, down to the Florida Gulf and out to the loneliest stretch of Vermillion Key, where her father has offered the use of a conch shack he has kept there for years. Em keeps up her running - barefoot on the beach, sneakers on the road - and sees virtually no one. This is doing her all kinds of good, until one day she makes the mistake of looking into the driveway of a man named Pickering. Pickering also enjoys the privacy of Vermillion Key, but the young women he brings there suffer the consequences...
I lurk, therefore I am.
I just remembered the Pickering in Insomnia, that's all. That guy was a douche.

Damn, for some reason cant bring Pickering to mind, the name rings a bell but I cant think what he was like.
I wonder if/when this will be available in the UK? And in what format...
BEEP BEEP Richie! They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!
Charles Pickering was the character in Insomnia that stabbed Ralph.

If they do, I've never come across it lol

Maybe that's because you're too busy looking over Cosmopolitan.
Ooh, burn!
Seriously though, that's surprising.
I know they publish Playboy all over the globe, even in a few Muslim countries.
It's surprising that Esquire wouldn't be available, since it was one of the more widely-circulated men's mags-or "lad mags"-before the Maxim/Loaded soft core phenomenon took off.
I'll probably check out this issue, because I do look over the glossy mags when they have a particularly intriguing feature/article and I think this qualifies.
I don't know if I'll lay out the eight or nine bucks to purchase it though.
I stopped buying The American Spectator when that bastard RET sold it to that gadfly George Guilder, rebought it, then rereleased it with a two dollar price hike.
-good times, G.
I'll check it out at my local magazine shop tomorrow.
Just picked mine up
Tonight will be a reading night....
