| | PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: | | Stephen King As Chosen by Tyler Labine ---------------------------------------------------- On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King  Stephen King reveals the origins of his vocation and shares essential habits and rules that every writer can apply. Rarely has a book on the craft of writing been so clear, so useful and so entertaining. A series of vivid memories from Stephen King's adolescence to his struggling years affords you a fresh and often funny perspective on the formation of a writer's character. King takes you through crucial aspects of the writer's art and life, offering practical and inspiring advice on everything from plot and character development to work habits and rejection. "Long live the King" hailed Entertainment Weekly upon publication of On Writing. Part memoir, part master class by one of the bestselling authors of all time, this superb volume is a revealing and practical view of the writer's craft, comprising the basic tools of the trade every writer must have. Stephen King's advice is grounded in his vivid memories from childhood through his emergence as a writer, from his struggling early career to his widely reported, near-fatal accident in 1999 — and how the inextricable link between writing and living spurred his recovery. Brilliantly structured, friendly and inspiring, On Writing will empower and entertain everyone who reads it — fans, writers, and anyone who loves a great story well told. This tenth anniversary edition of On Writing includes an updated reading list from Stephen King. Our Price: $20.95 Misery by Stephen King, Adapted by Simon Moore  Misery is a full-length thriller by Simon Moore. A roller coaster ride into the darkness and torment of obsession that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats, this stunning stage adaptation of the classic novel by Stephen King is a tour de force for actors. Popular romance novelist Paul Sheldon retires each winter to Colorado to write another work featuring heroine Misery Chastain. Driving while inebriated, he loses control of his car. He regains consciousness in a filthy, dilapidated farmhouse that is cut off from the outside world by a blizzard. Annie, the schizophrenic occupant, is his number one fan and she insists she will nurse him. His legs are crushed and he is virtually a prisoner dependant on her for pain relief. She discovers that his new book is not about Misery and she forces him to destroy it and write another. Thus begins Paul's descent into a living hell of pain, humiliation and degradation. Like Scheherazade, he must write a new chapter every day to stay alive. Our Price: $12.95 The Shawshank Redemption: The Shooting Script by Frank Darabont  Nominated for 7 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Screenplay, The Shawshank Redemption, starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, is an extraordinary tale of hope and survival inside a maximum security prison. Based on a Stephen King novella, Frank Darabont's screenplay follows the complex twenty-year relationship between two convicts who have little in common — except friendship.
