STEPHEN KING UNCOLLECTED STORIES

[mae]

I think Rush Call and Jumper can be considered collected. Would love a book collecting all of these older stories, as all the newer ones will surely be in the next collection. Also of great interest are stories that were subsequently collected substantially revised, like It Grows on You, and some others.

Mr. Rabbit Trick, care to update?

Updated.

The most recent short stories will be collected in the next collection called, "Chasing Darkness". To be published in the Spring of 2014 by Scribner. ISBN: 1-340-76581-7

Should we consider this as a reliable information? Any source?

[mae]

Bookfinder says that's an invalid ISBN. A little early for April Fools yet.

[CRinVA]

Really - I find nothing on the net in reference to this book.

[DanishCollector]

There is a collection of short fiction with that title by another author (who's name has slipped my mind) so I guess this is an early April's Fools Day joke.

Hello everyone. I was wondering if there are .PDF or .TXT etc. versions anywhere of these:

Codename: Mousetrap
The Killer
The 43rd Dream
The Old Dude's Ticker
Weeds
General

I have purchased everything else by King, so I'm not some freeloader / cheapskate. But I really cannot find these items anywhere. I figured this would be the place to ask.

Thank you.

[Bev Vincent]

Weeds will be in Shivers VII from Cemetery Dance. The Old Dude's Ticker is in The Big Book of NECON from Cemetery Dance. 43rd Dream can be found in The Stephen King Illustrated Companion.

[now2blue]

Thanks. I'm going to have to pass on the NECON book though. $175 is too steep for me right now.

When does Shivers come out?

[Bev Vincent]

You can get used copies of NECON for $10 at Amazon.

Shivers VII should be out soon. I have a story in it, too.

The signed copy of NECON is that price. There is a regular trade edition.

We've often speculated on the next King collection. If I recall my calculations from years ago (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...l=1#post722772), King has generally published a new collection every 6-7 years. If that trend holds, we could see one next year. I think it has the chance to be my second best King collection, following Skeketon Crew, with some absolutely spectacular stories of late, such as "Batman and Robin..." and "Premium Harmony", as well as the yet unpublished "Afterlife".

Amazon has a collection called "Cavalier Archive Volume 1" available for Kindle. It collects sevral interviews the magazine had in the 70's and also collects King's short stories Battleground, The Cat From Hell, Suffer the Little Children, Trucks & Weeds.

Update, archive, or leave the thread be?

[Ari_Racing]

Let it be

Sorry, to necro a super old thread. A google search led me to this older thread. I noticed a discussion about the two poems listed in Contraband 1. I am have been looking for copies of these poems for years. I am even willing to fork out the money if I were to ever find a copy of the magazine (no luck on that front). Any thoughts on where/how I could at least read them?

[docchemistry]

After reading further, I also noticed that there was a discussion about the originals of "Stud City" and "The Revenge of Lard Ass Hogan." Same question as above...

[docchemistry]

I have scans of the two poems and the Ubris version of "Stud City" and Maine Review version of "Lard Ass."If anyone's interested...don't think it's illegal sharing these, they are circulation among mant collectors.

"Becka Paulson" exists in three versions, actually. The original Rolling Stone version, then reappeared, revised, in I Shudder at Your Touch" (the same version ended up in the limited Skeleton Crew), and then, of course, as a heavily revised chapter in The Tommyknockers.

Would you care to help another SK collector/community member out? I have no idea if I have anything you would be interested in, but I am willing to share if I had something you were looking for.

I would love to have these too.

Time passed by but I still have hopes that someday a copy of SK's version of The Pit and the Pendulum shows up.

I haven't heard of this; what's the deal with this?

[Bev Vincent]

From Rocky Wood's book Stephen King Uncollected, Unpublished:

King wrote The Pit and the Pendulum, and he and Chris Chesley sold copies of it at Durham’s elementary school. It “novelized” the 1961 movie of the same name. All trace of the story has been lost. King tells its story (“…turned out to be my first best-seller”) in section 18 of the “C.V.” part of On Writing.

[St. Troy]

Cool; thanks.
