ISO: Stephen King's first stories

Post by papat444 »

So i've slowly built my collection over the last 5 years and now have every Stephen King book (including all non-fiction); basically anything that was published. In addition, i've been collecting all short stories not included in current collections. I've made myself a file and hope to print myself a copy for personal use. That said, the following are the only ones i'm missing. i realize they are extremely rare and i'm not looking copies but i would love to have the text to add to my collection. I'm pretty sure i won't find them but figured i'd give it a shot.

Send me a PM if you can help.

Though it's not on your list, I have information / copy of Io magazine where SK's baseball poem "Brooklyn August" was first published.

The poem was later published in "Nightmares and Dreamscapes".
