Dark Tower contest back on
Posted: June 22, 2003.
First, let me thank everyone that has e-mailed me and telling me all sorts of nice things! You made my day! Thanks!
I'm also happy to let you all know that the Lilja's Library Dark Tower contest is now back online. Don't miss this opportunity to get the first four Dark Tower books for free!
Those of you who have already participated don't need to do so again. The contest ends June 30, 2003.
The Contest
Posted: June 21, 2003.
There have been some difficulties (or rather it's been impossible) to enter Lilja's Library for a little over 4 days. This was because the Lilja's Library Dark Tower contest I started on June 17 caused to big of a load on my web host's server (I guess you can say it's been a success). Because of this I was thrown out from their server without any notice and in a really rude way (mail me and I'll give you their name…).
During these 4 days I have been looking for another web host that isn't to expensive that I could put Lilja's Library at but I haven't found one yet (if anyone know of one or even work at one, please let me know). Since I still wanted to get Lilja's Library online as soon as possible I have been forced to use some free services and unfortunately that includes commercials banners and pop-up's. I'm really sorry about this but I hope you will all bear with me and feel that I have done the least bad thing in a bad situation. At one point I even considered putting Lilja’s Library to rest forever but all your mails changed my mind, THANKS!
This also means some changes I'm afraid. For now you will have to use he address: http://medlem.spray.se/liljaslibrary when you want to visit. You will also have to use the address: info [at] liljas-library.com when you want to reach me. I hope this won't cause too much trouble and that it's only temporary.
Also because of this the contest will have to take a break for a couple of days so that I can correct this. The closing date will be pushed forward with the same amount of days. I'm really sorry about this!
In today's (more funny) news:
Kingdom Hospital will be shooting between August 11, 2003 and March, 2004.
Here is an article USA Today about King and The Dark Tower.

Dark Tower
Posted: June 11, 2003.
;)
;)
Yesterday I received some copies of the new editions of the first
four Dark Tower books. After looking through them I can now
confirm the following:* The introduction is the same in all four books.
* Wizard and Glass (only the trade paperback though) have a part from Wolves of the Calla at the back. It's called Roont and is almost the same as the prologue that is on King's site. The difference is that some rewriting seams to have been done. The first sentence in the prologue on King's site goes:
Tian was blessed (although few farmers would use such a word) with three patches
and the one in Wizard and Glass like this:
Tian was blessed (though few farmers would used such a word) with three patches
Nothing major but no less some changes.
* All books has gotten now subtitles:
The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger - Resumption
The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three - Renewal
The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands - Redemption
The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass - Regard
Now that it's only about a month until the new episodes air the official Dead Zone site has some new stuff you might want to check out.
Production of Kingdom Hospital is set to begin on August 11 in Vancouver, Canada.
I Know What You Need
Posted: June 9, 2003.
King will review the upcoming Harry Potter book. King will review it for Entertainment Weekly but he's not getting an advance copy of the book so it will probably be at least July before his review comes out.
Michael Chabon joined forces with the editors of McSweeney's magazine to create McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales, a fiction anthology of stories driven by narrative action. (Edited by Michael Chabon; www.audible.com; unabridged short stories; seven hours and 30 minutes; $17.95; read by Kevin Gray.)
Of the 20 stories in the original print version, eight made this audio compilation by authors Elmore Leonard, Nick Hornby, Stephen King, Michael Crichton, Dave Eggers, Harlan Ellison, Rick Moody and Chabon. Gray assumes a distinct voice for each tale and captures the twists and quirks in these genre pieces.

Here is the press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CEMETERY DANCE PUBLICATIONS ANNOUNCES THE DEVIL'S WINE FEATURING STEPHEN KING, RAY BRADBURY, PETER STRAUB AND MANY OTHERS!
BALTIMORE, MD--June 4, 2003--Cemetery Dance Publications, publisher of the deluxe limited edition of Stephen King's FROM A BUICK 8, is proud to announce THE DEVIL'S WINE, a poetry anthology edited by best-selling author Tom Piccirilli. The contributors include Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Peter Straub, Graham Masterton, Charles De Lint, Jack Ketchum, Joe Haldeman, Michael Bishop, Jack Cady, Steve Rasnic Tem, Melanie Tem, Peter Crowther, TM Wright, Brian Hodge, Edward Lee, Elizabeth Massie, Jay Bonansinga, and Tamara Thorne.
The Cemetery Dance hardcover is the only planned edition for this title, and many of the nearly 200 poems have never appeared anywhere else. Stephen King's amazing contributions were originally published in small venues during his college years and these publications now resell for thousands of dollars due to their scarcity. The King poems haven't seen print in over 30 years--this is the ONLY time they have ever been reprinted!
A link to the complete table of contents can be found on this page: http://www.cemeterydance.com/html/news.shtml
THE DEVIL'S WINE will be issued in two unique states: a Trade Hardcover edition for $40 (featuring our usual high-quality, smyth-sewn cloth binding, full-color dustjacket, etc) and a Deluxe Lettered Edition for $250 (featuring a handmade traycase, additional artwork, and completely unique hand-binding--in other words, a completely different book to hold in your hands! Signed by editor Tom Piccirilli and artist Caniglia!).
THE DEVIL'S WINE will be published in October and both editions are now available for pre-order from Cemetery Dance Publications. You may order from the website (http://www.cemeterydance.com) or feel free to call (410-588-5901) or email us (order@cemeterydance.com). We expect this title to sell extremely quickly (especially the Lettered Edition), so don't delay!
Retailers and wholesales who haven't previously acquired titles directly from Cemetery Dance will need to call and set-up an account to receive the standard discount: 410-588-5901. Cemetery Dance titles are also distributed by Ingram and Baker & Taylor.

Here is a new interview with King about The Dark Tower and his retirement.
One of the most interesting questions King gets is:
Amazon.com: So will we see any other new Stephen King titles published between June's re-issue of The Gunslinger and The Dark Tower in November, 2004?
And King's answer is:
King: I have not started a new novel since finishing the Dark Tower novels. This is March. I finished the last one, I think, in October. This would be an ordinary fallow period for me anyway. I have some ideas, but not anything I've started to work on yet. I think the Dark Tower novels will be published and then you might see a period of silence from me that would maybe go from two to five years. But there would definitely be something, I think, unless I should keel over dead.

Here is what they say:
CREEPSHOW FOR THE BOILS AND GHOULS
YTV, Canada’s leading network for children’s programming, has joined forces with Vancouver’s SecondSun Entertainment and Minds Eye Entertainment to produce CREEPSHOW, a new half-hour animated horror series aimed at the 12-17 age demographic. “It will be a suspense thriller series,” commented series producer Chris Delaney, “with all kinds of bizarre characters and unique plot twists and turns to keep the kids on the edge of their seats. It will be scary and fun at the same time.” No word on whether the kid’s show will retain elements from Romero and King’s film of the same name or the classic EC horror comics it was inspired by, but here’s a few plot teasers: a babysitter is attacked by monster children; a robot comes to life and does battle with its owner; a teenage girl home from a mental institution is stalked by a maniac with red, glowing eyes. Spooky! Saunter over to the Rue Mortuary to discuss.

Check out a new article about Salem's Lot and The Man who loved Flowers is going to become a Dollar Baby.
I also want to make a clarification. The black and white cover for Wolves of the Calla that I put out on my site yesterday isn't the final cover. This is from a promotional item. The color cover for the audio edition is the final version though so please check out that if you want an idea of how the book cover will look like (without the audio related text that is). Also, this is the cover for Simon & Schuster's editions.
