Matt
good luck in getting one signed. Any strategy?

Hang around the coffee shop or sandwich shop that King frequents.
That or Bangor by the airport where King usually goes once a month...

Perhaps could run into at at DamJam 2015 tonight!!!

[Roseannebarr]

Bev, Can I read it when you are done? Really looking forward to bad little kid!

Which one of the Gerald's Game proofs is considered more collectible, this one or the ABA in slipcase?

[biomieg]

The Viking one, since it's a true proof (my opinion). Neither is very scarce.

[jhanic]

I agree.

I asked Bev if i could read his copy, but have not received it yet, please send it my way when you are done!! i cant wait to read Bad Little KID!! I hope its good!

[Ari_Racing]

Yes, US copy. As a matter of fact, I have it in my US address since July 22th...

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

i cant wait to read Bad Little KID!! I hope its good!

Its not.

[Pasiuk57]

I read it when it first came out-not King's best work. It was published in German first I believe.

Simultaneously in German and French.

Thanks for the info!

[Bev Vincent]

Yeah, I read the French version -- it's not bad. The Obits is a decent story, too, reminiscent of Everything's Eventual. I want to spend some time with UR to see how much he revised it from its original appearance -- "signficantly," I believe is the way he phrased it.

Yep, I'm really curious about that!

[you ever seen a ghost?]

i didn't really care for any of the "new stories" although "Drunken Fireworks" was not bad. "Mister Yummy" and "Obits" not so much.

i read "Bad Little Kid" last year and thought it was fantastic!

Damn, that went quick. I would have snagged it!

It's quite a substantial revision, though the story is exactly the same. One off-camera character's name is changed slightly. The biggest change

Spoiler:

is the deletion of the section where they explore the variations in the Kennedy assassination, probably because it's ground covered in 11/22/63 in a different fashion.

. It's instructive to compare the two versions, to see how King has revised his writing on this second pass. It's mostly minor stuff, but it's thorough.
