    Joyland was only issued in trade paperback size. Not including the hardback editions of course.

    It caught me as strange also that Joyland was not the same size as TCK.

    Why exactly? It's a totally different edition, no? As I recall, HC released predominantly PB editions of TCK as well and only a limited amount of HC's, right?

    Just curious is all.

    Hard Case Crime did not release the hardcover Colorado Kid. That was PS Publishing.

    Joyland is a little bigger than the standard HCC paperbacks. Maybe they changed the dimensions recently but older books I've seen are the same size as The Colorado Kid.

Last night I embarked on a re-read of Carrie, thinking I might review all of King's early catalog (say, up to Needful Things or so) since I've acquired cheap paperback versions of nearly everything in the last six months or so. Then a question occurred to me: Why not start from the very beginning? Does anyone have a master list of all of King's work--short stories, novellas, novels, etc. listed in order of publication? Let's start with "I Was a Teenage Grave Robber", the unpublished juvenilia is irrelevant. I would really like to read everything in order of creation to place it in proper perspective, but that can be even trickier to pinpoint in a lot of cases. For example, we know that The Long Walk was written prior to Carrie, and The Gunslinger was begun when King was nineteen! The novellas which make up Different Seasons were each written after a major novel, so I'd like to read them in that order. Does this question of creation vs. publication make sense? Can anyone help me attain as accurate a list as possible or point me in the direction of one? Does anyone have any suggestions as to a reading order which would place everything in its proper perspective, perhaps a mix of the dates of completion and dates of publication?
    Hey,

    First Words include "Jhonathan and the Witchs" written when SK was 9. That would be the first story.

    Suggested 3 King movies for your question.
    Shawshank Redemption (I doubt it is correct)
    Dolores Claiborne
    Cats Eye.

    There's a start at least

    I didn't Black House had a movie version.

    Did you ever get an answer?

    At least 2 of those posters haven't been on the forums in over a decade...
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
