A long-time Cemetery Dance customer from the local area fell on hard times
and he asked us if we could help him sell some of his collection. We listed
some very successful auctions on eBay for him, but he recently discovered
that he had another copy of one of the most popular items we offered on his
behalf (it sold for over $500!) and he wanted to know if we could try
selling this copy, too. Instead of going the eBay route this time, we're
just going to offer this book in a different way, so we can try to sell it a
little quicker for him! Read on for details!
Market Guide for Young Writers:
Featuring a LONG LOST and VERY RARE
STEPHEN KING SHORT STORY!!!
"The Hotel At The End Of The Road"
*** One Copy For Sale! ***
The Market Guide For Young Writers is a trade paperback book from the 1990s
that was written for school libraries and English classrooms, especially
those that have Young Authors programs. It was to be used in creative
writing classes for children who aspire to be writers.
Included in the book is also an EXTREMELY RARE short story that Stephen King
wrote as a teenager!
The story is called "The Hotel At The End of the Road" and King says in his
introduction: "This has been very painful for me but I managed to dig up the
rotting body of one of the stories written as a teen of about thirteen. I
think your readers will see what a what a really dreadful story it is, but I
think they will also see maybe the first sprouts of what has become the
world's bestselling Venus flytrap."
This is a unique chance to see the early ideas of King's work and how he
would eventually develop into the master of horror.
This is a great book for a young writer, even if the specific market
information is out of date, and this is a MUST HAVE item for Stephen King
collectors! How many of you have read the oldest story of King's that has
ever appeared in print, after all? The covers, spine, and edges of the pages
show a little wear from the age of the book, but there is no highlighting or
anything like that inside the covers, and all in all, most people would
consider this to be in good shape. This is a GREAT addition to any Stephen
King fans collection, so don't miss your chance to own it!
This book comes from a SMOKE FREE home. We will be packing and shipping it
from the Cemetery Dance warehouse in Forest Hill, Maryland.
