It contains King's The House on Maple Street, if I'm not mistaken.

Not really news, not sure why SK.com posted about it. And the story's not new either, it's in Nightmares & Dreamscapes.

I love the original book. Everyone should own a copy.

I believe it's news b/c it's a new book. There has never been a collection of stories about the drawings before.

Now, this is a guy that should illustrate a Stephen King book!

Well it's not news per se, because this was news a while back, can't remember exactly when. Maybe there wasn't a news thread, but I do believe it was mentioned several months ago. Anyway, just thought it was weird. Plus, it's still not a new story.

That makes sense. I forgot the original was called Mysteries of Harris Burdick.
