Stephen King & Peter Straub On Talisman Sequel
The Associated Press reports (picked up via the sensational email newsletter Dark Echo) that Stephen King and Peter Straub are planning a sequel to The Talisman.
"Our intention is
to make the story a little harder and darker than the first book, more horror
than fantasy," said Straub. The two authors have signed a multimillion-dollar deal for
the still-untitled novel, which will be published by Random House and is
expected to come out in 2001. The Talisman was published in 1984 and tells
the story of 13-year-old Jack Sawyer's quest for a talisman that will save

heads off."
Author's Website Blocked In Many Schools
David J. Schow tells the Dark Echo Newsletter: "Thanks to an overload of stupidity in Colorado involving nitwits with firearms, many people who tried to visit my Web site,
BLACK LEATHER REQUIRED (at http://www.gothic.net/~chromo), from school
computers found their access prohibited by screening software that blocked
out *anything* containing the word *gothic*. So much for Poe, I guess. So
much for architecture, or the 12th through 16th centuries.
"Let's just skip past the sheer moronic, clown-shoed imbecility of this

those of you out there who might be culturally oppressed. Go to:
