Stephen King’s Discarded Novel

Whadda know. . . on a week where most of the King news will be about the Rock Bottom Remainders, here's an interesting event: Four authors are reading portions of a story they collaborated on.

The set up  for the story is as follows:

The Stephen King novel that was so bad that he threw it in the trash behind a run-down McDonald’s in Bangor, Maine. But four writers fished it out, wiped off the Big Mac grease stains, put the pages in order and are proud to present it to you.

Each writer will be reading the section they created.

The  writers are: Saara Dutton, Daniel Guzman, Michael Maiello and Peter Olson.

The full article and event details are HERE.

According to the Daruma Eye blog, there is also a Trivia Contest where you can win “Things We Found In Carrie White’s High School Locker."  (I know nothing more about that!  Nor do I want anything found in Carrie White's locker!)

For those who ask -- that is parody.  Stephen King did not throw away a novel outside Micky-D's!  But the authors are attempting to write in his style.
