January 1, 2012 Gauntlet Press will begin taking orders for "Stephen King's Battleground"

Gauntlet Press has finally set a date to begin taking orders for Stephen King's Battleground.  Publication is set for Spring/Summer 2012.  This book has seemed to be on the back burner for a long time.  Every few months I keep checking for any updates, this time a YES, confirmation on this book!   Nightmares and Dreamscapes was a fantastic series on TNT with Battleground as episode 1.  Go to Gauntlet Press and read the description about the King short story/ Matheson script combo.  If you want one of only 26 copies signed by King you better be prepared with a fast Internet connection and to pay $1250.00.

 According to Gauntlet Press Site:

26 copy Signed Lettered Edition (the ONLY version signed by Stephen King) is $1250

125 copy Signed Numbered Edition (signed by Brian Henson, Jeff Beal, Jeff Hayes, Michael Wright, Lee Romaire, Bill Haber, Sam Nicholson, and Richard Christian Matheson) is $125

Limited Edition (unsigned) is $75

Question of the day #63: Has anyone had a chance to sink their teeth into "11/22/63" yet?

No, I haven't started reading 11/22/63 but the hard copy is already on my book self.  The new book fits quite nicely there if I do say so myself. :)  When I am ready to read it I would like to purchase the ebook deluxe edition for the 18 minute King interview. 

Right now I am reading Misery and Desperation simultaneously.  I have been trying to complete Book Chick City's 12 King books in a year.  The count is around  9 for this year, so I am pushing through to try to complete the challenge. 

If you have a minute, let ATSK know what you think of King's new book.  I've heard nothing but great reviews.

Happy 64th Birthday Stephen King!

Mile 81 coming out on September 1

Did anyone win the Mile 81 contest and able to read it already?  No dice for me.  My ebook is pre-ordered and will be on my Nook on the first. 

Question of the day #62: What is the best Stephen King book to read during a power outage? That is assuming you have a candle (which isn't recommended if you fall asleep while reading), flashlight, or a charged eReader.

My choice for a short outage with a campfire like atmostphere would be Salem's Lot.   But for an extended outage I would say  IT.  Either one could scare the bejesus out of me with all the lights on in the house.  A power outage is a great time for a reread.

(((Those in the path of Hurricane Irene)))

Prayers go out to all who are affected by this storm.

Already? Film rights optioned for "11/22/63"...I'm not surprised!

I'm tickled to hear this news.  We may get to see a new film with Stephen King as Executive Producer.  In this article passed along by Ms. Mod.  Film 11/22/63
