Thanks Tim, for pointing out this error. When I read never published in one of King's collections, I made an error when I assumed it hadn't been published at all. We all know what happens when we assume.
Don't judge this book by its cover, this book is not at all what it appears. I thoroughly enjoyed The Colorado Kid, this novel seemed to flow perfectly. Although this novel is short, the mystery and the true-to-life characters make up for its length. I most enjoyed the banter between the the two old guys Dave Bowie and Vince Teague. Dave is the founder of the local newspaper The Weekly Islander while Vince is the editor. The basis of the story is a discussion they have with their intern, Stephanie McCann, about an investigation they conducted years earlier. The mystery involves a John Doe found on Hammock Beach in Maine. They attempt to answer a series of questions about said John Doe. This was a great book for the Stephen King Challenge, it was short and engaging.
1922Warning this video is not for the faint at heart, visually it is exactly as I had imagined it to look in the book.
In this book trailer for A Good Marriage, I found myself imagining how I felt when I read this story in November, scared and creeped out. Also the song adds an eerie feeling to the video.

After seven years King wraps up his "Pop of King" EW column as mentioned in this short blurb circulated by the Associated Press posted by WRCB-TV read here. One admirable thing about King IMO is that if he likes a movie, tv show, band, (Microwave Dave & the Nukes) or an author he takes the time mention it.
