"Drawn Into Darkness" by Kevin Quigley
www.cemeterydance.com
www.amazon.com

Most Stephen King fans remember him playing Jordy Verrill, the "lunkhead" who becomes a giant plant monster from outer space in the movie version of Creepshow. But King's association with comic books goes way beyond that.
DRAWN INTO DARKNESS delves into the hidden world of King's comics career, from the creepy early adaptation of "The Lawnmower Man" to his part in creating the Eisner Award Winning Best New Series, AMERICAN VAMPIRE. We look at the ongoing success of adaptations like THE DARK TOWER and THE STAND, and examine why the similar adaptation of THE TALISMAN failed.
See how King tried to kill Kitty Pryde from the X-Men, whether he prefers Betty or Veronica, and why he continues to be obsessed with Batman: all here in DRAWN INTO DARKNESS!

Weighing in at over 560 pages, Stephen King: A Primary Bibliography of the World's Most Popular Author is by far the most comprehensive Stephen King Bibliography ever produced, with 958 separate entries, each with a short description and full source data, from publication information right down to page numbers!

Author Justin Brooks spent five years compiling this outstanding reference work, with the assistance of many of the leading King researchers, collectors and 'super-collectors'. Covering all King's published and known unpublished works from 1959 to the end of 2005, this volume reveals dozens of works and appearances previously unknown to King researchers. Every known English language appearance of the nearly one thousand pieces of fiction and non-fiction (along with screenplays, plays, poems and even recipes and puzzles) are listed.

Working from original sources Brooks has identified and corrected numerous errors in the previous reporting of material--incorrect titles, dates, pagination and even publication information.
If you've ever wanted to build your King collection to ensure you have every piece it is possible to collect, in all their forms, this is the reference work you must have.
Introduced by noted King researcher Rocky Wood, author of Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished, the book also carries a comprehensive Index of titles and alternative titles.

Among new revelations in the book are:
• Two previously unknown King pieces from his high school days--sports reporting in the Lisbon Enterprise (and these are not the articles King describes in On Writing)
• The "Why I Love The Beatles Essay" that won King an award
• King's 1966 "Batman and Robin" script
• A 1967 column supporting the US troops in Vietnam
• A letter 14-year-old King wrote to Forrest J. Ackerman, published in a 1987 auction catalog
• Previously unknown articles and letters to the editor from The Maine Campus, including a review of the Spring 1969 issue of Ubris
• A large number of previously unknown letters to the editor
• Obscure appearances of pieces such as "Brooklyn August"
• Introductions to the work of other authors; and book reviews published in unusual venues
• Reprints of both fiction and non-fiction in obscure newspapers and magazines, including in the UK, Canada and Australia
• Original titles of published works
• Comprehensive details of King's non-fiction in the Bangor Daily News and other Maine newspapers, much of it controversial
• Dates and publications of "lost" pieces such as the reprint of a King's "Garbage Truck" in a downstate newspaper; and such unusual venues as Chernobog

Full Bibliographic citations, a short summary, and relevant notes are given for:

• 103 published book length works; and 19 unpublished novels
• 191 pieces of published short fiction and 24 unpublished short stories
• An amazing 560 pieces of short non-fiction and 9 unpublished pieces of short non-fiction
• 12 poems
• 1 puzzle and 3 recipes
• 36 screenplays and 4 plays

In total there are 958 individual entries covering almost 2100 separate appearances!

How does one determine what the greatest work of an author’s career is? The answer to this query, posed in the final pages of this book, can be found throughout Vincent’s in-depth analysis of King’s seven-volume Dark Tower epic (The Gunslinger, The Drawing of the Three, etc.). Making sense of a story that switches back and forth through time, across multiple universes, and involves the safety of a tower that represents the fate of all existence is no easy task. Kudos to Vincent for even trying. But readers beware—the work is analyzed in its entirety, so expect spoilers galore. Vincent—whose column on Stephen King, "News from the Dead Zone," appears in Cemetery Dance magazine—tracks the evolution of both King’s three-decade avocation (the very first line was written in 1970) and the development of the saga’s characters and plot. Most importantly, Vincent shows how the few members of gunslinger Roland’s fellowship, recruited to help him protect the Tower, slowly evolve from reluctant participation to resolve about their leader’s quest. Former cocaine addict Eddie, for example, puts his sarcasm and skepticism aside and learns to embrace the dream of his surrogate father. As Vincent writes, "If Roland were to die on their journey, Eddie would continue with the others, for having dreamt of the Tower and the field of roses, the compulsion to reach the Tower claims him, too." Vincent also devotes a full chapter to discussing some of King’s other works that are related to the Dark Tower series, such as Hearts in Atlantis and Insomnia. In light of King’s own admission that the Dark Tower epic is the nexus of all his books—"The Dark Tower finishes everything that I really wanted to say"—Vincent asserts, "What else, then, is a magnum opus if not something that both ties together and summarizes a person’s life’s work?" With this thorough analysis of King’s epic, Vincent proves himself a master of the Dark Tower world.

Besides recapping the epic itself, Vincent points out the most germane aspects of other King novels and stories that touch upon it, sketches its leading characters, notes influences on it, and discusses its creation and the layered, self-consciously reflexive concept (King himself is a character in it) that animates it. Appended are chronologies of the saga's writing and publishing and of events in its main setting, Mid-World, and in "Keystone Earth" (i.e., our reality from the 1950s on, but including the saga's characters' doings when, at various times, they enter it), a too-small Mid-World glossary, and the Robert Browning poem that initially inspired King. The large and perdurable King fandom should embrace Vincent's effort and spur him to correct misstatements about the Odyssey and Dante's Commedia, in particular, in the chapter on influences and explain the saga's many pop-cultural references (e.g., the Crimson King) in future editions.

"The Unseen King" by Tyson Blue
www.amazon.com

Blue’s The Unseen King was the first book-length work to tackle the subject of books and stories of which his mainstream audience was unaware. Uniquely, Blue discusses both King’s uncollected works and his limited editions in one book. Juvenilia such as "The Star Invaders" and "People Places and Things" and later publications such as "Crouch End" and "The Doctor’s Case" are given chapters alongside The Dark Tower books and the Land of Enchantment publication of Cycle of the Werewolf. A sort of catchall for all work not published in the mass-market (or at all), Blue’s book also explores screenplays, nonfiction articles, and poetry – and includes the first book publication of “Brooklyn August,” which would later appear in Nightmares and Dreamscapes.

"Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished" by Rocky Wood (revised and updated) (2010)
www.amazon.com

Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished is the most comprehensive review of the Stephen King works you've never read, including coverage of nearly one hundred unpublished and uncollected works of fiction -- novels, short stories, screenplays, and poems! Best of all, this eBook features the complete text of two lost works written by King, including an entire chapter from King's unpublished 1970 novel Sword in the Darkness that has never been published anywhere in the world! Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished also gives in-depth coverage to the nearly one hundred variations and versions of King's published stories: edits, updates, and changes King made between reprintings of his work.

There are two works written by Stephen King included in this book:

* The first and only publication of a very long chapter from King's unpublished 1970 novel "Sword in the Darkness" -- one of the lost Stephen King novels that only a handful of people in the world have ever read! This novel will never be published and this is your only chance to catch a glimpse of a young Stephen King developing his craft. The raw power that would eventually make him the bestselling horror author in the world is definitely evident in this very long excerpt.

* The first book publication of the obscure King poem "Dino" -- previously only published in a small literary magazine and just recently discovered at the E.S. Bird Library of Syracuse University in New York!

In addition, the author has discovered and taken detailed notes about a work previously unknown by the King community, "Molly," which was King's
original screenplay submitted for The X-Files. It's a completely different story from what was later produced for the series as "Chinga" and the author gives in-depth coverage to the differences.

Here are some other examples of what you'll find in Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished:

* Over one hundred entries detailing all of King's uncollected and unpublished works, many of which have never been available for public discussion
* In-depth descriptions and discussions of several unpublished King novels such as Sword in the Darkness and incomplete novels such as George
D X McArdle
* Detailed overviews of dozens of King screenplays that were never produced, including his own adaptations of Cujo, Children of the Corn, The Dead Zone, Desperation, Dolan's Cadillac, Night Shift, The Stand, and his adaptations of other classic novels such as Something Wicked This Way Comes
* Essays covering two dozen of King's lost and hidden works that are not available anywhere in the world, such as "An Evening at God's" and the infamous "Squad D"
* Details of eight new and previously unheard of King stories discovered in the Stephen King papers at the University of Maine
* Details of two King stories published in his high school newspaper and other stories King wrote as a child and teenager
* A complete Stephen King bibliography covering nearly four hundred works of fiction and non-fiction
