Stephen King Writes a Spellbinding Supernatural Novel "UNDER THE DOME" http://www.tributesradio.com/profiles/blogs/under-the-dome-by-stephen-king-1?...

By Stephen King: http://www.stephenking.com/index.html

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when -- or if -- it will go away.

Dale Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed with a few intrepid citizens -- town newspaper owner Julia Shumway, a physician's assistant at the hospital, a select-woman, and three brave kids. Against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at nothing -- even murder -- to hold the reins of power, and his son, who is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry. But their main adversary is the Dome itself. Because time isn't just short. It's running out.

Book trailers are an interesting recent development in marketing. The very concept doesnt make a whole lot of sense at first, seeing as books dont actually have visual scenes to make a trailer out of, but done properly, they can be pretty effective tools for creating buzz around a new novel. And sometimes, they can be pretty cool. The trailer for Stephen Kings new book, Under The Dome, falls squarely into the cool category. The novel follows the inhabitants of a small town that is trapped in a huge, clear dome by unknown forces.

Some say Kings best years are behind him; I disagree. Thats not to say I enjoy every last one of his books hell, the mans written so many, theres no way they could all be great. But when hes on, hes one of the best writers in modern horror (and sometimes science fiction). To me, it seems that hes at his best when he gives himself room to breathe, page-wise. The Stand is brilliant; so is It. Both are over 1000 pages. The Dark Tower series, his masterpiece, unfolds over the course of seven increasingly long books. Under The Dome will be 1088 pages long; hopefully, that means we can expect the epic storytelling and surprisingly personal character development the author, at his best, is capable of.

Check out the trailer below; its short, but it got me kinda pumped for this book.

  • Only Stephen King is worthy enough to have a trailer for a book.

  • King thought of this waaay before the Simpsons were even crappy sketches on the Tracy Ullman Show. He just waited a long time to write it.

  • Nice trailer!
