Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished
by Rocky Wood
Revised and updated for this publication, including new information through
this year!
Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished is the most comprehensive review of
the Stephen King works you've never read, including coverage of nearly one
hundred unpublished and uncollected works of fiction--novels, short stories,
screenplays, and poems!
Best of all, it features the first book publication of two lost works
written by King, including an entire chapter from King's unpublished 1970
novel Sword in the Darkness that has never been published anywhere in the
world!
Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished also gives in-depth coverage to the
nearly one hundred variations and versions of King's published
stories--edits, updates, and changes King made between reprintings of his
work. Similar in size and scope to our edition of The Stephen King Universe,
this is a must-have for both collectors and casual readers of Stephen King!
Details about the two works written by Stephen King that are printed in this
book:
-The first and only publication of a very long chapter from King's
unpublished 1970 novel Sword in the Darkness--one of the lost Stephen King
novels that only a handful of people in the world have ever read! This novel
will never be published, and this is your only chance to catch a glimpse of
a young Stephen King developing his craft. The raw power that would
eventually make him the bestselling horror author in the world is definitely
evident in this very long excerpt!
-The first book publication of the obscure King poem "Dino"--previously
only published in a small literary magazine and just recently discovered at
the E.S. Bird Library of Syracuse University in New York!
In addition, the authors have discovered and taken detailed notes about a
work previously unknown by the King community -- "Molly," which was King's
original screenplay submitted for The X-Files. It is a completely different
story from what was later produced for the series as "C****a" and the
authors give in-depth coverage to the differences!
