Stephen King Revisited, by Cemetery Dance

[herbertwest]

Richard Chizmar begins an incredible journey this Halloween...

STEPHEN KING REVISITED will be unlike anything Cemetery Dance Publications has ever attempted in our 25+ years in publishing! This is NOT a book (at least not yet!), but sign-up below to be notified when this project goes live:

What I would love to see would be :
- Halloween masks around Stephen King's iconic characters
- Figurines
- An animated video, that could be transformed into a comic books... a similar thing to the N mini-series.

But then I dont see how that would be an incredible journey for Richard...

[Bev Vincent]

He's going on The Long Walk...

Figurines would be my pic... something limited run.. WELL made and even signed by King....

[Bev Vincent]

Per Rich on FB: Nope, no $ needed for this one. It's free and a little nuts and hopefully fun.

[Robert Fulman]

I think he's going to read all of King's books, and blog about them. Publication of what he writes could come later.

[Merlin1958]

I wonder what the hell they are up to. I signed up for updates. You never know, right?

[CyberGhostface]

That's a relief.

In a somewhat similar vein, Mark West is curating King for a Year (http://kingreviews2015.blogspot.co.uk/): 52 reviewers, 52 novels, 12 months.

I thought Mr. Chizmar's write-up on The Dead Zone yesterday was superb - my favorite so far.

Wanted to say that I quite enjoy these, I like seeing them pop up in my inbox, makes for a good bit of reading.

I'm curious to read that first paperback-only intro, is that available anywhere else?

[Bev Vincent]

I've never seen it reprinted.

Enjoyed the essay. I still remember picking up the book as a college student and not wanting (not being able) to spend $20 on a King Book!! I just couldn't do it. Did not fit in my budget. I went back to the store 3 times and looked at it. I just couldnt spend $20 for a king book. 33 years later i spent $1000ea-$6000ea for SK Books.

[Br!an]

Great essay! I even learned something!

[Bev Vincent]

Cool -- that's always my hope!

They asked me to write the Guest Essay, too, so I did: Stephen King crossed the desert and I followed (http://www.stephenkingrevisited.com/stephen-king-crossed-the-desert-and-i-followed)

Christine: Baby, You Can Drive My Car (http://www.stephenkingrevisited.com/baby-you-can-drive-my-car-by-bev-vincent/)

I have been listening to the audio version of Christine for the past week or so and have come to the conclusion that it isn't a very good book. A lot of the dialogue between Dennis and Arnie sounds forced and clumsy much of the time and the premise of the story delivered over the course of a novel loses its impact. It might have worked better as a short story or perhaps a novella.

The movie was pretty good...

I read or listen to this book once a year. I have to say I disagree. It's one of my absolute favorites - so well-crafted and spot-on with the characterizations.
