As many of you know, 110% of my spare time that normally used to go
into Horrorking, has been taken up with the CD that is due out this
month. As part of that CD we would like to announce the
following 'New' Story details.

Hopefully, after a week off at the end of the CD production, I will
have time to do some serious updated to Horrorking, and get back to
writing regular newsletters :)

`NEW' STEPHEN KING STORY FOUND IN MAINE

The authors of the upcoming `The Complete Guide to the Works of
Stephen King' are pleased to announce that they have included the
details of a previously unknown story by Stephen King in their
publication.

The story, titled `Codename: Mousetrap' was originally published in
King's high school newspaper in his senior year, 1965. The story was
originally re-discovered by a teacher, Ms Prudence Grant, while
cleaning her files in 2001 after retiring from Lisbon High School in
Maine.

Ms Grant put the newspaper up for auction on Ebay and Kerry Johnson,
a collector of all things King for over twenty years, purchased it.
Stuart Tinker of Betts Bookstore, a specialist King bookseller in
Bangor, Maine brought the existence of the story to the attention of
one of the Guide's co-authors, Rocky Wood last December during a
research trip to King's home town. Wood was recently able to secure
Johnson's agreement to write the first ever description of `Codename:
Mousetrap' as a Chapter in the `Guide'.

`We are very pleased to bring this story to the attention of the King
community and the public generally,' Wood said this week. `Full
details of the story, including a summary appear in the Guide, which
will be published in May 2003'. Ms Grant was one of King's advisors
when he served on the Lisbon High School newspaper, `The Drum'.
Research confirms this was King's only piece of fiction in the paper.

`The Complete Guide to the Works of Stephen King', a 3000 page
reference work published on CD ROM, is the most comprehensive study
of King's body of fiction ever published, covering 269 Works.
