Something Good Comes from Stephen King's Fiction

A fan of Stephen King and filmmaker Stanley Kubrick has created a book that is at once a work of art and a sort of homage to the film adaptation of King's novel The Shining:

A Stephen King fan has published an 80-page version of the book which novelist Jack Torrance obsessively writes during King's The Shining, where his descent into madness is revealed when his wife discovers that his work consists of just one phrase, endlessly repeated. . . .

Now New York artist Phil Buehler, who describes himself as "a big fan of Stanley Kubrick and Stephen King", has self-published a book credited to Torrance, repeating the phrase throughout but formatting each page differently, using the words to create different shapes from zigzags to spirals.

That actually sounds a lot more interesting than anything that King himself has written. You can get your copy here.
