About the Book:
Stephen King: The Non-Fiction is the first significant review of King’s Non-Fiction. Most fans and readers know King has written three non-fiction books and may have noticed his introductions and Author’s Notes to his own works; but few know of his hundreds of columns, articles, book reviews and criticism.
In fact the Authors review over 560 published works of non-fiction (more than a dozen are revealed here for the first time) and a further nine unpublished non-fiction pieces. Full details of these unpublished pieces are revealed for the first time.
Important Update About This Book!
SURPRISE ADDITION FROM STEPHEN KING!
Have you ever heard of “My Little Serrated Security Blanket” by Stephen King? It’s a very rare essay King wrote over a decade ago, and most fans have never had a chance to read it… until now!
That’s right! Stephen King has just granted permission for “My Little Serrated Security Blanket” to appear in our special deluxe edition of Stephen King: The Non-Fiction! Our designer is working hard at this very moment on a re-design of the book so we can include this entertaining and difficult to find article!
Stephen King: The Non-Fiction fills all the gaps, providing significant detail on each of the most significant of these Non-Fiction Works; and a review of every other piece!
Authors Rocky Wood and Justin Brooks spent five years compiling this outstanding reference work, with the assistance of many of the leading King researchers, collectors and ’super-collectors’; and access to Restricted Non-Fiction Works in King’s papers at the University of Maine, Orono.
Covering all King’s published and known unpublished works from 1959 to mid-2006, Stephen King: The Non-Fiction reveals for the first time dozens of pieces of non-fiction and their appearances that were previously unknown to King researchers.
If you’ve ever wanted to know more about King’s amazing and often controversial non-fiction, this is the reference work you must have. This is the ultimate volume to accompany Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished — and this is the perfect companion in your collection for The Stephen King Universe and The Road to the Dark Tower.
Among new pieces reviewed in the book are:
Two previously unknown King pieces from his high school days – sports reporting in the Lisbon Enterprise (these are not the articles King describes in On Writing); and a King non-fiction piece from his high school newspaper The Drum; along with the fascinating story of their rediscovery by the authors
A 1967 column supporting the US troops in Vietnam
Previously unknown pieces from The Maine Campus, such as a review of the Spring 1969 issue of Ubris (in which King published the first version of Night Surf, the precursor to The Stand); an amazing movie review; and letters to the editor (many highly amusing)
Nine unpublished pieces of non-fiction reviewed in detail, including pieces held in the Restricted Boxes of King’s papers at the University of Maine – for the first time anywhere the authors describe these works in detail
A large number of previously unknown letters to the editor
Introductions to the work of other authors; and book reviews published in unusual venues
Comprehensive reviews of King’s non-fiction in the Bangor Daily News and other Maine newspapers, some of it controversial

OBJECTS OF WORSHIP by Claude Lalumiere (Limited Edition)
OBJECTS OF WORSHIP, the debut collection by Claude Lalumière—twelve strange, eerie, sensual stories of monstrous gods, disturbing faiths, and urgent desires by a bold new voice in weird fiction. Interior illustrations by Rupert Bottenberg (Claude’s Lost Myths collaborator). Introduction by World Fantasy Award-winning author James Morrow.
HARDCOVER-ONLY EXTRAS:
• Two bonus stories of extreme horror/humour: Claude’s tribute to Iggy Pop, “The World’s Forgotten Boy and the Scorpions from Hell,” and its sequel, “Motherfucker”
• Back-cover mosaic of Objects of Worship icons by illustrator Rupert Bottenberg
“Claude Lalumière’s stories are dark, mordant, precisely formed. His first collection is extraordinarily accomplished in its craft and subversive intent.” —Lucius Shepard
“These stories are terrifically creepy. And not unlike Edgar Allan Poe or Potted Meat Product, they gave me the willies.” —Christopher Moore
“Claude Lalumière has a poet’s sensibility. He suggests; never overstates. This finely crafted, stylishly dark collection is a vitrine of objets and curios, a specimen cabinet of elegant bizarrerie. I recommend it to all connoisseurs of lyricism and things passing strange.” —Richard Calder
“You hear about kids locked away in attics, their only toys broken clothespins, a few pipe cleaners, a spool of yarn. Yet with these toys, they manage to concoct imaginary worlds of great wonder and beauty. Claude must have grown up in an attic because he writes like one of those kids.” —Neil Smith
“Claude Lalumière’s extravagant imagination is matched by only two other qualities: his compassion for his characters, and his sparkling facility with language. His stories resound with the clash of ideas, the music of hearts and the howls of indignation that any sensitive creator emits when confronted with a universe less esthetically pleasing and fair-minded than the ones he daily strives to create.” —Paul Di Filippo
“In these stories, life still aches after death, spirits leave the flesh and return, and the only people comfortable with their bodies are rotting zombies. Disturbing and funny, sexy and psychedelic, this collection marks the debut of a highly original voice in fantastic fiction. Read it for the thrill of getting lost, or the pleasure of letting an author lead you into undiscovered places.” —Jan Lars Jensen
“Claude Lalumière’s stories are delicious.” —Anna Tambour
