This edition--the complete and uncut version published by the Overlook Connection Press--is signed, leather, limited edition featuring additional pieces and photos ONLY available in this edition. This book is an important and entertaining new look at a facet of Stephen King's work that has never before been explored in a trade book. It's a comprehensive, meticulously researched look at writings by King that are, for all intents and purposes, "lost" to his typical fan. Bound in red leather with gold foil embossing, signed by Stephen Spignesi, Castle Rock Contributing Editor Tyson Blue, and filmmaker James Cole.
The signed, leather-bound limited edition of The Lost Work of Stephen King contains a lot of material NOT available in the trade edition!
Items discussed in this book include:
unpublished short stories and novels
childhood writings
college writings
nonfiction articles and essays that appeared once in little-seen venues and were never reprinted
handwritten notes
poetry
writings that only appeared in limited editions
oddities like stories in which King and his family members are the characters
comic book adaptations of King stories
reader-completed tales
"almost" stories - tales King has thought about and actually discussed, but has not yet published.
Seventy-five of these rarities are discussed in detail in The Lost Work of Stephen King, providing fascinating insight into King's evolution as a writer and offering the fan a glimpse of hidden wonders he or she will likely never have a chance to learn about any other way. A definition and comprehensive summary of the piece is provided, along with selected excerpts and suggestions as to how to find a copy of the complete work (if one is available).
In addition to this massive amount of material about the Lost Works, the book also includes a lengthy section called The Royal Library. This feature consists of informative reviews of all of King's mainstream material - including a detailed review of his latest (Fall, 1998) effort, Bag of Bones. A companion to this feature is The King of Hollywood which offers reviews of every film adaptation of King's stories, including student films and Made-for-TV features.
The final feature, Stephen King in Print, concludes the book with a selective bibliography Stephen King's Novels, Short Stories, and Novellas from 1956 - 1998.
