By now I hope that everyone has managed to successfully download
Riding the Bullet, and has read the story.
With many hundreds of thousands of people trying to gain the book for
Free, I think Softlock.Com, Amazon.Com and Barnes and Noble massively
underestimated the pull of an eBook like this. This Free download
caused many thousands of people to try to download the book
immediately after it's 12:01am release. I believe that the "Free"
status from some of these retailers caused many more people to
download it that would normally have purchased a King book, adding to
the problem.
This caused failures on many sites due to the additional loading, and
strangely enough Amazon.Com and Barnes and Noble appeared to source
the file from Softlock.Com's server, along with the rest of the
affiliates. My apologies for any of you that have tried to purchase
the book through Horrorking.Com, but I assure you that it is
available without delay now the initial rush has subsided.
I have included lists of links between Riding the Bullet and other
books and stories by King as well as the error(s) at
http://www.horrorking.com/bullet.html
Dont forget, if you have not yet purchased Riding the Bullet, it is
available for $2.50 at http://www.horrorking.com/bullet.html
Let me know if I have missed any links or errors then please email me
and I will include them.
Because of the work involved with Riding the Bullet, not much else
has changed on Horrorking.Com in the last few days, but within the
next few days I will be updating the Dark Tower 3 names, links and
errors. I will keep you all informed.

Today's Stephen King link:
Australian Skemers Home Page
The Australian chapter was formed to communicate local Stephen King
information like movie and book release dates, appearances, signings
(yes, he does make it down here every once in a while!) and whatever
other information comes to hand.
