Today is the day my book is released and to celebrate that the site has gotten a new look. The new look is more in the line of the cover of the book and I hope that you will all like both the new look and the book itself. Feel free to comment on both on facebook, twitter or in the guestbook.

Thanks to Anders for the new design.


King's cameo

Posted: September 2, 2010, 08:25:31

Entertainment Weekly previews the new season of Sons of Anarchy:


Plus, Stephen King makes a nicely chilling cameo in an upcoming episode that I won't spoil by describing further. Let me just say he's as scary as any SAMCRO biker, and that's scary indeed.

The Crate by Stephen King

Posted: August 27, 2010, 23:40:52

Here is the latest from Cemetery Dance:


Next week we'll be sending Shivers VI edited by Richard Chizmar to the printer and it contains a huge surprise: "The Crate" by Stephen King, his long lost NOVELLA written in the late 1970s that hasn't seen print in over 30 years and has never been in one of his collections!

This is classic, old fashioned Stephen King and 99.9% of his fans don't even know this novella exists... but later this year it'll be readily available to ALL readers for the first-time ever in Shivers VI, which will be published as an affordable trade paperback!

Read more about this on their site.

Can it be? Apparently it can. Bloody Disgusting reports that there will be yet another Children of the Corn movie. Personally I can’t see why this movie is being done at all but who knows…it might be good…


What a bizarre news day, eh? Bloody Disgusting just got tipped off that a new Children of the Corn is also in the works. Entitled Children of the Corn: The Dweller, Joel Soisson is set to direct from his own screenplay. Shooting is scheduled to begin this September is Los Angeles. Soisson, who produced the 2001 Children of the Corn: Revelation, directed both Pulse and Prophecy sequels for Dimension Films. He wrote the screenplays for Dracula 2000, and all of the sequels, along with Hollow Man II, Hellraiser: Hellworld and many others. The plot begins on a trip to California, a family's car overheats leaving them stranded in the home of a creepy couple and their kid.

Looks like the info about Sheemie's tale got a bit mixed up. Grzesiek Tupikowski talked to Robin Furth who told him that it's not new arc but a one shot issue. There will be a total of five of these stand-alone comics.

Thansk to Grzesiek Tupikowski.
