About the Book:
Weighing in at over 560 pages, Stephen King: A Primary Bibliography of the World’s Most Popular Author is by far the most comprehensive Stephen King Bibliography ever produced, with 958 separate entries, each with a short description and full source data, from publication information right down to page numbers!
Author Justin Brooks spent five years compiling this outstanding reference work, with the assistance of many of the leading King researchers, collectors and ‘super-collectors’. Covering all King’s published and known unpublished works from 1959 to the end of 2005, this volume reveals dozens of works and appearances previously unknown to King researchers. Every known English language appearance of the nearly one thousand pieces of fiction and non-fiction (along with screenplays, plays, poems and even recipes and puzzles) are listed.
Working from original sources Brooks has identified and corrected numerous errors in the previous reporting of material–incorrect titles, dates, pagination and even publication information.
If you’ve ever wanted to build your King collection to ensure you have every piece it is possible to collect, in all their forms, this is the reference work you must have.
Introduced by noted King researcher Rocky Wood, author of Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished, the book also carries a comprehensive Index of titles and alternative titles.
Among new revelations in the book are:
• Two previously unknown King pieces from his high school days–sports reporting in the Lisbon Enterprise (and these are not the articles King describes in On Writing)
• The “Why I Love The Beatles Essay” that won King an award
• King’s 1966 “Batman and Robin” script
• A 1967 column supporting the US troops in Vietnam
• A letter 14-year-old King wrote to Forrest J. Ackerman, published in a 1987 auction catalog
• Previously unknown articles and letters to the editor from The Maine Campus, including a review of the Spring 1969 issue of Ubris
• A large number of previously unknown letters to the editor
• Obscure appearances of pieces such as “Brooklyn August”
• Introductions to the work of other authors; and book reviews published in unusual venues
• Reprints of both fiction and non-fiction in obscure newspapers and magazines, including in the UK, Canada and Australia
• Original titles of published works
• Comprehensive details of King’s non-fiction in the Bangor Daily News and other Maine newspapers, much of it controversial
• Dates and publications of “lost” pieces such as the reprint of a King’s “Garbage Truck” in a downstate newspaper; and such unusual venues as Chernobog
Full Bibliographic citations, a short summary, and relevant notes are given for:
• 103 published book length works; and 19 unpublished novels
• 191 pieces of published short fiction and 24 unpublished short stories
• An amazing 560 pieces of short non-fiction and 9 unpublished pieces of short non-fiction
• 12 poems

• 36 screenplays and 4 plays
In total there are 958 individual entries covering almost 2100 separate appearances!
