USA Today 5 questions for Stephen King
5. What are you writing? It's called A Very Tight Place. Not a novel but a long story. I've been writing lots of stories lately. I wonder why?

Stephen King on The Best American Short Stories 2007
The Best American Short Stories series is now in its 30th year, so it's fitting that one of America’s most famous writers, Stephen King, has edited the 2007 edition. He joins Leonard to share stories that reflect his own personal touch, plus works from John Barth, T.C. Boyle, William Gay, and others.
It's kind of long (about a half-hour) but interesting!

King does mention he sold a new short story to Fantasy & Science Fiction.
Martin Anderson interview with King from 1983.
Two parts.
In 1983, Martin interviewed Stephen King, an interview never published until now. In part one, King talks fear, cancer, Freud and the Monster In The Closet...
Click here for the second part of our exclusive interview, when Stephen King talks about upcoming movie adaptations of his books, and his dispute with Kubrick over the making of The Shining...
Great interview! I love that stuff about The Shining

Did anyone else see what I assume is a new short documentary about King on the Biography Channel? Nothing very revealing or too interesting, but I DVR everything that's new to me about King. So was it just me or did they show some heretofore unknown fiction by King? It was during a segment talking about his early days selling stories to men's magazines, and the camera panned over several open pages and there were titles I haven't heard about, like "Bone" and one other one. Several others were well-known, like "The Blue Air Compressor". Weird...
I've never heard of a King story named "Bone".

Nor have I. If you get the Biography Channel, watch it the next time they show that Stephen King episode.
A week or two ago. I had it DVRed but since deleted it, unfortunately. I'm sure they'll repeat it again. I'll check the schedule.
I would love to know as well, I actually have that channel.

Doesn't look like it's scheduled again. But I wouldn't be able to make a screenshot anyway. But believe me, what I wrote is true. There were some of the older uncollected stories like "Stud City", "The Blue Air Compressor" - and then "Bone". Also what looked like a poem I didn't see before. So, very weird.
Cool - cheers for that Jerome, I think I'm going to sig a quote from that too
That episode was done in 2004 or so, it's a fairly old one, but usually, when they rerun Biography episodes, they usually tack a 30 second or so segment on the end to update the subject's life since the time the documentary was made.
They actually aired it on A&E as well, under a show name called something like classroom. I thought it was pretty interesting. Don't know when they'll replay it though.
If you have Comcast cable, it sometimes shows up in the freebie section for that channel. That's how I saw it the last time it was on.

"You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served." ~ Roland Deschain
SO if anyone manages to see it or record it, can you check that shot with the short stories and see if I'm not crazy?
