This isn't King but it's his son and I know a lot of you, like me, enjoy Hill almost as much as King. so, I got his latest newsletter and in it were two pretty cool photos.

This one is just for fun...

...but this makes me wish October was here.


Oh, and I found this trailer for the pilot for Locke & Key that never happened. Too bad, it looks really good if you ask me.

New Mist Featurette

Here is a new featurette, entitled Reimagining The Mist and it offers insight into Spike’s reimagining the classic Stephen King novella for television – with showrunner Christian Torpe noting the similarities and the differences of the series to both the story and the 2007 film version.

An Update On The Sleeping Beauties Book Tour

Posted: June 8, 2017, 15:13
_
When asked if there would be pre-signed books at the Sleeping Beauties tour stops or if Stephen and Owen would be signing “live” the moderator on King’s board said:

No signings on this tour.

That probably means there will be pre-signed books given out at random to those who attend. Last tour there were about 400 at each stop.

Also, closing in on the half-way-mark now and so far, it looks like I’ll be attending one stop at the tour. A huge thanks to everyone who has donated!

Joe Hill's NOS4A2 Heading To AMC

Posted: June 3, 2017, 08:38
_
Most of you have read Joe Hill's and now it's being considdered by AMC for a TV series. Here is what Bloody Disgusting reports.

While Stephen King fever sweeps screens both big and small, King’s equally talented son is having a streak of good fortune in his own right. We’ve just learned that AMC is developing a TV series based on Joe Hill’s NOS4A2 (pronounced Nosferatu), the author’s third novel. It was published back in 2013.

The Wrap reports that AMC has opened up a writers’ room for the potential series, part of the network’s scripts-to-series model which “skips the pilot process and instead appoints groups of writers to develop a first season bible and write several episodes, after which AMC decides whether to grant a straight-to-series order.”

24 hours after I posted the article Send Lilja To The US! I have already gotten a lot of good feedback and donations from a lot of you out there. More than I dared to hope for! And I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for helping me achieve this goal. Unfortunately, I don’t get your email when you send a donation through PayPal. If I did I would thank each and every one of you personally but I guess this is the next best thing, right?

So, again, thanks to all of you that have donated and maybe we’ll meet in the fall?

For those of you that have no idea what I’m talking about, all info is here.

Thanks! / Lilja
