"That Bus Is Another World": New short story in August 2014 Esquire

[Niels]

There are already people with a copy in hand. I have photos of the story, but only the first paragraph is readable. Waiting for clearer pictures.

[Lilja]

Ah, then I need to go find one then. Not sure where in Sweden I can get a copy though since it takes forever for them to get here :-(

I'm guessing subscribers get it a bit earlier.

[you ever seen a ghost?]

well, if anyone gets good scans, please let me know. i went way out of my way to go to a B&N yesterday just in hopes that they had this issue and they still had the May one out, which seems ridiculous. so, i'll get the issue, but given how behind they are, it may be awhile before i go back! can't wait to read the story though. i just love his short fiction so much!

thanks!

There are 2 available on ebay. You will likely get one before b&N has one.
$8.95+$4.85 shipping out of New Jersey:

I've read it. The story is like SK had already explained in Hamburg and the title is an answer.
A nice short story on a thin subject. The beauty is in the storytelling.

Was at my local B&N and there was one copy on the stand and a few if the previous one so it should already be out.

Yes, but I was very disappointed...

Spoiler:

simply because there is nothing more than what he said. He claimed that he had half of the story, and that's what I felt after reading it.
I wanted something more to happen...
But I also understand the necessity to stop it here, and make it as if nothing important happen, and life just goes on...

Got my copy in the mail today!

[dnemec]

Stopped at my local B&N today, but they still had out the old Esquire. Perhaps it will be around next week.

Same at mine.

I got my copy in the airport today

I went to B&N yesterday and they had both the old and the newest issue on the stand, but in very different places. I got two of the new one.

It's been a long time since I read a short story by King that I didn't like as this one.

And I mean A LONG TIME.

Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Was a nice five minute read.

[dnemec]

Went to Hilton Head B&N and they just stocked them. Haven't read it yet though.
