So Scribner made a new deal with King in 2015 and they have since then released new editions of all his old books/collections on Mass Market Paperback (MMP). Most have been released except for From a Buick 8, Eyes of the Dragon, Everything's Eventual, Bag of Bones, Nightmares & Dreamscapes and Hearts in Atlantis. Under the Dome was also getting a new MMP as one whole book (instead of parts one and two as it was before). The seven were set to be released on MMP starting this Summer which got pushed back to Fall. They have since been pulled. Not only that but the older versions are either now listed out stock or gone completely. ebooks, audios and TPs are still up. It's the damnedest thing. I'm probably reading too much into it. I doubt there are any problems between King and Scribner since he has a new book coming out through them this month but I can't make heads or tails of the situation. Anybody else here anything? Not the biggest deal in the world it just...bugs me.
Problems with King and Scribner?

Welcome to the site, drn211, I haven't heard anything untoward, I'm sure we'd hear something from the official source if there was an issue.
Hi and welcome.
Could be that an announcement will be made in due course, could be a rights issue of some kind, could be that Scribner have commissioned new cover art and are revising/yanking the previous stuff or something along those lines. Hell, for that matter, it could be aliens. Until something official breaks, who knows?

Nothing wrong between Steve and Pocketbooks but might be a scheduling issue. I'd have to check with their production department.
I was able to speak with my contact who will be emailing me a revised release schedule.
...all this and keeping Steve's teddy bear safe.......remarkable.....
Nice, thanks. And thank you all for the warm welcome. Also Gerald's Game and Tommyknockers no longer have mmps (not even the new editions that had been released during the last year). I think it's a cover art issue myself since this hasn't affected anything other than the mmps.
OK, I think we now have definitive proof that it is a cover issue. The mmp entry for Just after Sunset had been updated with a new cover matching those of the recent run. It now is back to the original orange cover.
There must be two threads about this as I'd answered in another one that the list I got was for the trade paperbacks so had requested info about the MMP but have not heard back yet.
