User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I have assumed that this survey of Stephen King is accurate. If I had been reading a work of non fiction for my day job, I would have checked. This reminds made of many high school, and some college literary classes. I read a lot, but not because of those classes. I know many former classmates who don’t read because they were bored to distraction by this sort of display of Facts.I like King ‘s stories, I am in awe of his many talents. I don’t need to know what a third party thinks is the mind of the author.What this book did do for me is to think about author’s I have avoided because some well meaning teacher bored me into a coma. King is alive, if I had a question of him I would ask him. I think there is a reasonable chance he would answer.Read Stephen King ‘s stories.

⭐NOTE: Every single one-star review this book has is unfair. How could a book called ‘Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished’ by a different author be a published collection of Stephen King stories?! HOW?!? Anyway, deep breath. Now for the review…This is an amazing and exhaustive non-fiction guide to the works by Stephen King which have not been collected, and those known pieces that have not been published. There are a LOT! This book is almost 500 pages. Stephen King has so many well-known books and short stories that it is kind of a shock how many released stories that have never been featured in his collections exist, and still more how many stories, novels, and screenplays have been finished but never released or never finished. This was really well researched, with minimal editorializing. Sometimes, I didn’t agree with the author’s opinions on some of the work, but that was fine because those kind of opinions were kept to a scholarly minimum.A fine resource for those curious about the uncollected or unreleased work of Stephen King, ranging from his high school newspaper days (and even before!) to about 2010. Highly recommended.

⭐This book contains a lot of interesting information, but suffers from what looks like careless or non-existent proof reading. Grammatical gaffs, and spelling errors that should have been picked up by a simple spell-check app interrupted my enjoyment…and the often verbatim repetition of sections, when making connections between characters or locations becomes tiresome quickly. One entire section is presented twice. If the author is this careless about cobbling a piece together, it makes me wonder about his regard for the reader. I gave it three stars because much of the information I did glean was new to me, being a less than constant reader of Kingabilia, but given a choice between Wood and another student of King, I will probably take the latter next time. Sorry, Rocky. There’s just no excuse for sloppy.

⭐I have had this e-book for months and still have not finished it. I LOVE Stephen King’s work. This book is all about breaking down every story he wrote and putting them in different catagories. It is neat to find new stories he wrote that I have never heard of but this book is very lengthy and tedious as well. I will eventually finish it but wanted to warn you that it is all facts and no fun.

⭐Has interesting information, but is very redundant in places. At least one part of the book is riddled with typos. Maybe the updated version is cleaner.

⭐I am an avid King reader and have been collecting his works gradually over the years through various outlets and was afraid I would never have the chance to read – let alone own – this amazing book from Cemetery Dance. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across the Kindle edition a year after resigning to the fact that the limited (20,000 copies) run was beyond my wallet!To be clear, this is not a novel. If you have read Tolkien, as an example, this is more akin to the works that Christopher Tolkien undertook in his “History of Middle Earth” series. Far from a mere list of works, this tome is massive and highly enjoyable to any King fan. I have always been fascinated by the author’s process and this book gives readers a glimpse into the mind of King that is rarely seen or talked about. Details on un-produced screenplays (both original and some for very famous directors), missing short stories from childhood publications, and even an entire chapter of a read-with-permission-only manuscript at the University of Maine are highly sought after and fascinating to read.I read somewhere that some readers of the print version of this book were upset that this offered only a summary of works. If you’re like me and find reference sites like imdb.com interesting then this book will not disappoint. The magic of Kindle allows you to download a sample beforehand, and I would highly suggest that you do so. I will agree that this book is not for everyone since it is more like an overview of hard-to-find and lost works by King, but I will say that I never felt cheated by the format of the book. Some of these pieces will never be published – but through this updated work, fans of King can experience these obscure stories and perhaps they will ignite the imagination, which, for the price, is a done deal.

⭐Without a doubt this is the worst edited Kindle book I have read. in some cases it is the page formatting – only 4 or 5 characters on the line. In other cases material was repeated. And there are some parts of the book that the typos are so frequent it is difficult to understand the book. Be prepared for an ordeal if you read this book.

⭐As others have said, this is not a book written by Stephen King but rather a book about Stephen King’s writings. It is beautifully executed and is a great price.

⭐PERFECT!! THANKS!!
