So Good I Bought The TP, TC, & Limited Numbered Copies
11 Feb 2000

Format:Paperback
In this collection of essays, both new Stephen King fans, and SK'ers alike can enjoy a unique, indepth and personal view into the mind of the world's greatest horror writer. In Bare Bones King does just that -- he Bares his Bones, showing us the reader what really goes on inside his head. You are taken down into a dark cavern that few men have traveled into and survived. (Well, at least literarily -- not literally). As stated above, I was so impressed and intrigued by these works that I bought all three copies available: the 1st edition paperback, the first edition hardcover, and number 588 of 1152 limited handnumbered copies. Truly a "missing link" in any King collection. If nothing else, Bare Bones is a "must-read".

For King-Fans a must
28 Oct 2000
By David Theis
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is maybe the most interesting book about Stephen King available. If you want to know something about him, you have to read it, because you won't learn more anywhere else. Not even in his own 'On Writing' by the way.
Maybe it would be interesting too to read more actual interviews, but these one help a lot. Okay, it's not always that interesting, like in the conversation about his radio station and sometimes weird, like in the one about 'Maximum Overdrive' if you have seen it. And of course a lot of things are repeated.
But it's really a must for King-fans.

With a book like this you have to be ready to resign yourself to the fact that you're going to get a lot of repetitive material but at least it's never told the same way twice. Essentially what you see is what you get - quite possibly one of the most extensive collections of interviews with King ever collected and published in one place. The book is filled with fun stories about the writing process, his thoughts on other writers and movie makers, first hand accounts of skullduggery in the publishing world, and in light of Joe Hill's recent success - some rather amusing stories about his son's childhood.
If nothing else you should read this book so that you can find yourself with a near inexhaustible supply of anecdotes to tell at parties. After all how many people do you know can open a conversation with "Oh that reminds me about this time I read about Stephen King finding a full set of human teeth . . ."?
