I just ordered one that seems to have slipped the net when I bought all his books - Storm of the Century. It is being shipped from America though, seems hard to get on the cheap in England, I could only find it new for around £15, where as mine was £3.80 on Amazon trade. I know it was written as a screenplay, what kind of difference does that make to a book?
It means that when you read it you will be reading mostly the dialogue from the teleplay, with bits and pieces of other things, such as 'Location: Outside. Night time. In the street next to the Sherriff's car.' etc. But, it still is a good read and there are things in the screenplay that didn't make it into the final movie.

I really liked reading Storm.

Well I thought I had Doctor Sleep wrapped and under the tree in a shoebox. But it was a keyboard. </3 Then again I thought the only other gift I had under the tree was White Diamonds... that turned out to be socks. <=( After whining for the last couple weeks I am now happily sitting here wearing my new socks typing on my (much needed) new keyboard to let you guys know that I *finally* got Doctor Sleep. =D
I'm taking my time with this one. Been a looooong time comin'. Savoring it. =)
