Anything new regarding this collection? Contents? Page count etc?

Still too early. Final decisions haven't been made about which stories will be included but as soon as they are and it's okay to release that info, we'll be posting it on the main site.

How I would looooooooove to see 'Weeds' 'The Blue Air Compressor' and 'The Crate' in this collection.
Throw us a few bones Stevie!

 

[AchtungBaby]

I've held off reading previously released material ("Ur", "A Death" etc) so this book will be completely new for me!

Tell him to cram that sucker full--thick as a brick. But...

Any chance us long time Constant Readers can get a free bookshelf? I mean, ol boy ain't showin no signs of slowin and I'm simply runnin outta room. Already I gotta stack Clive Barker and Dan Simmons diagonal just to squeeze in the Stevies, and sooner or later gravity is gonna have its way with the whole shebang. Such an avalanche could kill a house cat--if I had a cat, that is. So pretty please, let's get those shelves. Or some orange crates.

[psj77]

How "revised" is Ur? Will we get the final story from Hearts In Atlantis? I know .

Amazon has it listed already. Showing 480 pages in length.

Since Stephen has still been going over the page proofs, that's very likely a place holder not the actual page count.

 

[CTKingFan]

I had a feeling. I figure it may be a bit longer than that

 

[Boni]

Dunno about you, but I wouldn't mind a 1.000 pages book.

 

[GNTLGNT]

Oh my. Just realized how that sounded.

Good news, apparently Afterlife and Summer Thunder will be featured in the collection as well. Or at least, that's my interpretation on the following quote by Hodder & Stoughton editor Philippa Pride.

Other tales will range from “a man who keeps reliving the same life, repeating the same mistakes over and over again”, said Pride, to “a firework competition between neighbours which reaches an explosive climax, a columnist who kills people by writing their obituaries” and “a poignant tale about the end of the human race”.

I can't wait. I love his short stories.
