    The one in Playboy is a prose poem entitled "The Bone Church". This new one is in the November 9 issue of The New Yorker.

    You know everytime I am in a bookstore I check out the magazines and always look at the current version of The New Yorker. I really like all of the stories that have graced those pages and am loking forward to this as well. And a bonus as its a Castle Rock story!

    The Bone Church was OK, but it was poetry, even if it was not traditional poetry - I read it and it was OK, but doubt I'd ever read it again. King's short stories often get read a second, third, ...

    And something touched me deep inside

    Interesting story. Might go back and read it again... short. Simple. But those are the stories where there are more details then on the surface. Sad, too...

    Very sad indeed. I must say I sorta saw it coming, though. But a very un-King-like story. I liked it. Reminded me of Updike.

    The New Yorker has a tendency of publishing stories like that... And I look forward to reading it again.

    I gotta say, this story really got to me. I can't get it out of my head. I suppose good literature does that. I think this is a great little tale. You can see how King's fiction has matured (I'm also thinking of Morality, another 2009 story). It's stark and real. King's next collection will be a treat.

    I agree with all of that. It's a great story and I've been thinking about it all day as well.
