Hey, folks, just wanted to give you guys a heads up that the new edition of Ploughshares edited by Stewart O'Nan has a new King story in it. It's the Summer 2017 Vol. 43, No. 2 edition. Not sure if it's supposed to be a short story as it's written as a screenplay. It's called Thin Scenery. Hope I won't get in trouble for posting this and spilling the beans, so to speak, but the issues are already on the newsstands at Barnes & Nobles.

It's a magazine sort of like Tin House. It's smaller than a regular sized magazine, about the same size as a trade paperback. It's actually about the same size as the hardback of The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.

The Legend Of Hell House by Richard Matheson is another good one included in this collection.

Cemetery Dance probably still has copies available. If they do and if you're on their mailing list then wait till they have another 50% in stock books and snatch up a copy. It's a nice looking book and a big one.

Cemetery Dance produces a great product, but dang, they sometimes take forever.
I've been waiting almost 7 years for Cemetery Dance to publish and send a book I pre-ordered......Can't even remember the name. I think they've changed the title a couple of times.
