About Under The Dome – Under the Dome is a 2009 science fiction novel by the American author, Stephen King. Under the Dome is the 58th book published by Stephen King, and it is his 48th novel. The novel focuses on a small Maine town, and tells an intricate, multi-character, alternating perspective story of how the town’s inhabitants contend with the calamity of being suddenly cut off from the outside world by an impassable, invisible glass dome-like barrier that seemingly falls out of the sky, transforming the community into a domed city.

Book 2 – “11/22/63”
Scribner, November 8th. 2011. Stephen King “11/22/63”. Signed First Edition , First Printing w/COA. Full number line as required on the copyright page. Personally signed by the author directly onto the title page: “For TT – Best wishes from Russ, and me – Stephen King 11/19/11”. Includes the custom made tray-case. Just about Fine with a very minor wave to material at top of spine. Fine dust-jacket.
About 11/22/63 – On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? Stephen King’s heart-stoppingly dramatic new novel is about a man who travels back in time to prevent the JFK assassination—a thousand page tour de force.
Following his massively successful novel Under the Dome, King sweeps readers back in time to another moment—a real life moment—when everything went wrong: the JFK assassination. And he introduces readers to a character who has the power to change the course of history.
Jake Epping is a thirty-five-year-old high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching adults in the GED program. He receives an essay from one of the students—a gruesome, harrowing first person story about the night 50 years ago when Harry Dunning’s father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a hammer. Harry escaped with a smashed leg, as evidenced by his crooked walk.
Not much later, Jake’s friend Al, who runs the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to 1958. He enlists Jake on an insane—and insanely possible—mission to try to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jake’s new life as George Amberson and his new world of Elvis and JFK, of big American cars and sock hops, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake’s life—a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.
A tribute to a simpler era and a devastating exercise in escalating suspense, 11/22/63 is Stephen King at his epic best.
Book 3 – “Doctor Sleep”
Scribner. September 14, 2013. Stephen King “Doctor Sleep” Signed First Edition , First Printing with full number line on the copyright page. Personally signed by the author directly onto the title page: “For Tee Tee – All the best from Russ – and me! Stephen King 10/2/13”.
Fine/Fine with COA. Slipcase included.
About Doctor Sleep – Stephen King returns to the characters and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) and the very special 12-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.
On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless – mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and spunky 12-year-old Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the “steam” that children with the “shining” produce when they are slowly tortured to death.
Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father’s legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant “shining” power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes “Doctor Sleep.”
Book 4 – “Mr. Mercedes”
Scriber , June 2014. Stephen King “Mr. Mercedes” Signed First Edition , First Printing with full number line on the copyright page. Fine/Near Fine w/COA. Personally inscribed directly onto the title page of the book: “For Tee Tee – All the best from Russ – and from me! Stephen King 6/28/14”. Includes custom tray-case as part of the Bill Hodges Trilogy set.
Fine dust-jacket. Near Fine book with one bumped corner and the back board is slightly bowed. Otherwise the book appears unread with square and tight spine. The text-block and page edges are clean without any marks, smudges, etc.
Bout Mr. Mercedes – In a mega-stakes, high-suspense race against time, three of the most unlikely and winning heroes Stephen King has ever created try to stop a lone killer from blowing up thousands.
In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, hundreds of desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. Without warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up, and charging again. Eight people are killed; fifteen are wounded. The killer escapes.
In another part of town, months later, a retired cop named Bill Hodges is still haunted by the unsolved crime. When he gets a crazed letter from someone who self-identifies as the “perk” and threatens an even more diabolical attack, Hodges wakes up from his depressed and vacant retirement, hell-bent on preventing another tragedy.
Brady Hartfield lives with his alcoholic mother in the house where he was born. He loved the feel of death under the wheels of the Mercedes, and he wants that rush again. Only Bill Hodges, with a couple of highly unlikely allies, can apprehend the killer before he strikes again. And they have no time to lose, because Brady’s next mission, if it succeeds, will kill or maim thousands.
Mr. Mercedes is a war between good and evil, from the master of suspense whose insight into the mind of this obsessed, insane killer is chilling and unforgettable.
Book 5 – “Revival”
Scribner November 2014 . Stephen King “Revival . Signed First Edition , First Printing with full number line on the copyright page. Slipcased with COA. Personally signed by Stephen King directly onto the title page: “For Tee Tee – With best wishes from Russ – and me – Stephen King”
Fine/Fine. Includes custom made slipcase to match the design of the book.
About Revival – A dark and electrifying novel about addiction, fanaticism, and what might exist on the other side of life.
In a small New England town, over half a century ago, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers. Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister. Charles Jacobs, along with his beautiful wife, will transform the local church. The men and boys are all a bit in love with Mrs. Jacobs; the women and girls feel the same about Reverend Jacobs – including Jamie’s mother and beloved sister, Claire. With Jamie, the Reverend shares a deeper bond based on a secret obsession. When tragedy strikes the Jacobs family, this charismatic preacher curses God, mocks all religious belief, and is banished from the shocked town.
Jamie has demons of his own. Wed to his guitar from the age of 13, he plays in bands across the country, living the nomadic lifestyle of bar-band rock and roll while fleeing from his family’s horrific loss. In his mid-30s – addicted to heroin, stranded, desperate – Jamie meets Charles Jacobs again, with profound consequences for both men. Their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devil’s devising, and Jamie discovers that revival has many meanings.
This rich and disturbing novel spans five decades on its way to the most terrifying conclusion Stephen King has ever written. It’s a masterpiece from King, in the great American tradition of Frank Norris, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Edgar Allan Poe.
Book 6 – “Finders Keepers”
Scribner, June 2nd, 2015. Stephen King “Finders Keepers ” Signed First Edition , First Printing with full number line on the copyright page. Personally inscribed onto the title page by the author: “For Tee Tee, Best wishes, Stephen King 6/8/15”
Fine/Fine without any flaws. Includes custom tray-case as part of the Bill Hodges Trilogy set.
About Finders Keepers – A masterful, intensely suspenseful novel about a reader whose obsession with a reclusive writer goes far too far – a book about the power of storytelling, starring the same trio of unlikely and winning heroes King introduced in Mr. Mercedes.
“Wake up, genius.” So begins King’s instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn’t published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel.
Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another crime. Decades later a boy named Pete Saubers finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue from the ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris when he’s released from prison after 35 years.
Not since Misery has King played with the notion of a reader whose obsession with a writer gets dangerous. Finders Keepers is spectacular, heart-pounding suspense, but it is also King writing about how literature shapes a life – for good, for bad, forever.
Book 7 – “The Bazaar of Bad Dreams”
Scribner, November 2015. Stephen King “The Bazaar of Bad Dreams”. Signed First Edition , First Printing with full number line on the copyright page. Personally inscribed onto the title page by the author: “For Tee Tee – All the best, Stephen King”
Fine/Fine with matching custom slipcase and COA included.
About “The Bazaar of Bad Dreams” – Named to the American Library Association’s Reference & User Services (RUSA) Listen List!
Other narrators include: Cotter Smith, Will Patton, Edward Herrmann, Holter Graham, Frederick Weller, Mare Winningham, Craig Wasson, Thomas Sadoski, and Tim Sample.
A master storyteller at his best – the O. Henry Prize winner Stephen King delivers a generous collection of stories, several of them brand new, featuring revelatory autobiographical comments on when, why, and how he came to write (or rewrite) each story.
Since his first collection, Nightshift, published 35 years ago, Stephen King has dazzled listeners with his genius as a writer of short fiction. In this new collection he assembles, for the first time, recent stories that have never been published in a book. He introduces each with a passage about its origins or his motivations for writing it.
There are thrilling connections between stories, including themes of morality, the afterlife, guilt, and what we would do differently if we could see into the future or correct the mistakes of the past. “Afterlife” is about a man who died of colon cancer and keeps reliving the same life, repeating his mistakes over and over again. Several stories feature characters at the end of life, revisiting their crimes and misdemeanors. Other stories address what happens when someone discovers he has supernatural powers: the columnist who kills people by writing their obituaries in “Obits”; the old judge in “The Dune”, who, as a boy, canoed to a deserted island and saw written in the sand the names of people who then died in freak accidents. In “Morality”, King looks at how a marriage and two lives fall apart after the wife and husband enter into what seems, at first, a devil’s pact they can win.
Magnificent, eerie, utterly compelling, these stories comprise one of King’s finest gifts to his constant fan. “I made them especially for you,” says King. “Feel free to examine them, but please be careful. The best of them have teeth.”
Book 8 – “End of Watch”
Scribner , June 7th, 2016. Stephen King “End Of Watch”. Signed First Edition , First Printing with full number line on the copyright page. Personally signed by the author directly onto the title page: “For Tee Tee – All the best, Stephen King //” Includes custom tray-case as part of the Bill Hodges Trilogy set. COA included.
Fine/Near Fine. Fine dust-jacket. The hardcover book has sharp corners and square and tight spine. Appears unread. No marks, writing, stamps, bookplates, etc. Clean text block. The bottom heal of spine has some waviness and minor bump.
About “End of Watch” – The spectacular finale to the New York Times best-selling trilogy that began with Mr. Mercedes (winner of the Edgar Award) and Finders Keepers
2017 Audie Award Finalist for Fiction and Best Male Narrator
In End of Watch, the diabolical “Mercedes Killer” drives his enemies to suicide, and if Bill Hodges and Holly Gibney don’t figure out a way to stop him, they’ll be victims themselves.
In Room 217 of the Lakes Region Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic, something has awakened. Something evil. Brady Hartsfield, perpetrator of the Mercedes Massacre, where eight people were killed and many more were badly injured, has been in the clinic for five years, in a vegetative state. According to his doctors, anything approaching a complete recovery is unlikely. But behind the drool and stare, Brady is awake and in possession of deadly new powers that allow him to wreak unimaginable havoc without ever leaving his hospital room.
Retired police detective Bill Hodges, the unlikely hero of Mr. Mercedes and Finders Keepers, now runs an investigation agency with his partner, Holly Gibney – the woman who delivered the blow to Hartsfield’s head that put him in the brain injury ward. When Bill and Holly are called to a suicide scene with ties to the Mercedes Massacre, they find themselves pulled into their most dangerous case yet, one that will put their lives at risk as well as those of Bill’s heroic young friend, Jerome Robinson, and his teenage sister, Barbara. Brady Hartsfield is back and planning revenge not just on Hodges and his friends but on an entire city.
In End of Watch, Stephen King brings the Hodges trilogy to a sublimely terrifying conclusion, combining the detective fiction of Mr. Mercedes and Finders Keepers with the heart-pounding supernatural suspense that has been his best-selling trademark. The result is an unnerving look at human vulnerability and chilling suspense. No one does it better than King.
Book 9 – “Sleeping Beauties”
Scribner, September 26th, 2017. Stephen King “Sleeping Beauties”. Signed First Edition , First Printing with full number line on the copyright page. Personally signed by the two co-authors directly onto the title page: “For Tee Tee – All the best from us, and from Russ, too!” Stephen King”. Signed by Owen King directly onto the title page.
Fine/Fine without any flaws. Slipcased with COA.
About Sleeping Beauties – In this spectacular father/son collaboration, Stephen King and Owen King tell the highest of high-stakes stories: What might happen if women disappeared from the world of men?
In a future so real and near it might be now, something happens when women go to sleep: They become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If they are awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed or violated, the women become feral and spectacularly violent; and while they sleep they go to another place….
The men of our world are abandoned, left to their increasingly primal devices. One woman, however, the mysterious Evie, is immune to the blessing or curse of the sleeping disease. Is Evie a medical anomaly to be studied? Or is she a demon who must be slain?
Set in a small Appalachian town whose primary employer is a women’s prison, Sleeping Beauties is a wildly provocative, gloriously absorbing father/son collaboration between Stephen King and Owen King.
Book 10 – “The Outsider”
Scribner, May 2018. Stephen King “The Outsider” Signed First Edition, First Printing with full number line on the copyright page. Personally signed by Stephen King directly onto the title page: “For Tee Tee – With good wishes from Russ – and from me – Stephen King 6/11/18”
Slipcased with COA. Fine/Near Fine. Fine dust-jacket. The hardcover book has two mild bumped corners with some waves to the bottom of the heal of spine. Short indentation in the black portion of the book. Otherwise unread with square and tight spine. No marks, writing, stamps, bookplates, etc.
About The Outsider – An unspeakable crime. A confounding investigation. At a time when the King brand has never been stronger, he has delivered one of his most unsettling and compulsively listenable stories.
An 11-year-old boy’s violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City’s most popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.
As the investigation expands and horrifying answers begin to emerge, King’s propulsive story kicks into high gear, generating strong tension and almost unbearable suspense. Terry Maitland seems like a nice guy, but is he wearing another face? When the answer comes, it will shock you as only Stephen King can.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Who was Russ Dorr?
King’s Man – Russ Dorr
Author Stephen King is like the Sherlock Holmes of horror, detecting and exposing our deepest fears. And he has his Watson.
Russ Dorr, a mild-mannered physician’s assistant living in Merrimack, has been King’s researcher, adviser and a close friend for more than 30 years, ever since a doctor’s visit where King asked Dorr if he’d dig up a few facts for a book he was working on.
King had just published his first novel “Carrie” but was far from a household name.
Russ Dorr’s name has since appeared regularly in the acknowledgement pages of King’s books, but he’s remained happily under the radar until recently, when Wired magazine published a short piece on his peculiar role. King’s book “Under the Dome” is just out and he recently made an appearance at the Music Hall in Portsmouth for their Writers on a New England Stage series.
How many of King’s books have you read? All of his books, and most of the short stories; I may have missed a few.
You must not scare easily.
I do scare easily! As a rule, I do not watch horror, and if I do I have to have the remote in my hands.
What’s the most outrageous thing you’ve ever had to research for him?
Good grief. There have been so many. The top two have to be how to make crystal meth, and he once asked me how much of himself a person could eat and still stay alive. That was pretty outrageous, if I say so.
Does he ever crack you up? All the time! With “Under the Dome” we laughed and laughed — it was such great fun. My close friend who knows of my work with Steve would say that we are having way too much fun to be working.
So of all the PA’s in all the medical offices in the world, King had to run into you. You must have done something that made an impression on him.
Well, we treated each other like human beings, we were young and smart, had a sense of humor, had kids of about the same age. In those days we both drank Budweiser and smoked Marlboros. I guess we just thought each other were cool.
What turned that chance encounter into such a long and productive relationship? Well, I don’t write the books — he does the heavy lifting. I give him the input and the thread of reality mixed into the fiction to complete his idea. After so many years I can attempt to anticipate his thought process, and have a ready answer for where he is going. Many times it is three or four different avenues depending on where his story takes him. He is the first to say that when he starts, he doesn’t know where the story will take him.

The Bloody Business
How a physician’s assistant in Bridgton became Stephen King’s Hippocrates of horror.
Article reference: Downeast
By Will Grunewald
Photographed by Bob Croslin
Inside a Biddeford bookstore on a chilly afternoon, Russ Dorr glances down at a display table and taps a finger on the hardback cover of Revival, a Stephen King novel from a few years back about a deranged preacher who develops a Frankensteinian fascination with electricity. “This one,” he says, “was fun to work on.”
Back in 1974, Dorr was a physician’s assistant practicing in Bridgton, where King lived. One morning, King, a new patient, came in feeling ill. In the exam room, Dorr glanced at the paperwork and noticed the occupation line. “Written anything?” he asked. His patient, in fact, had just published his first novel, Carrie, on its way toward selling more than a million copies. He was also wrapping up Salem’s Lot — and he had a case of food poisoning.
After that, the two men started recognizing each other around town — Bridgton only had a few thousand residents — and quickly hit it off. Both had young families, enjoyed playing tennis, and liked sitting on the front porch of Dorr’s house on Main Street, drinking beers and smoking cigarettes.
At one point, King mentioned a book in the works about a virus that wipes out 99 percent of humankind. He wondered if Dorr, with his medical background, could help craft a plausible disease that would transmit, mutate, and produce symptoms like a real virus. “That became the virus in The Stand,” Dorr recalls. King started consulting him whenever horror and human health intersected.
In 1981’s Cujo, for instance, a boy dies of heatstroke, but details in the draft were wrong — a person’s skin would become dry, not sweaty, Dorr pointed out. In Gerald’s Game, released in 1992, King needed to figure out how a woman might get out of handcuffs, and Dorr arrived at the idea, if the cuffs were slightly too big, of using her own blood as a lubricant to slide one hand free.
King would show Dorr fan letters from doctors who admired the author’s gritty knack for verisimilitude. Some, Dorr remembers, wondered if King had gone to medical school, others if he at least consulted with a doctor. “Steve had great fun in writing back,” Dorr says: “Nope, it’s a physician’s assistant.”
Then, about 10 years ago, Dorr’s role took on new dimensions. King told him about the idea for Under the Dome, in which a small Maine town becomes cut off from the rest of the world. “It’s going to take a lot of research other than medicine,” King said, into topics like food, water, and energy. “Want to take it on?” Afterward, King borrowed Dorr’s nickname and middle name for one of characters, Rusty Everett, the local physician’s assistant.
Next, 11/22/63, a work of historical fiction about a time-traveling English teacher from Maine who tries to stop the Kennedy assassination, required exhaustive archival research, plus site visits from Maine to Texas. “When I was done,” Dorr says, “I had a thick three-ring binder Steve could flip through, from 1958 to 1963, and within each year he could see things like sports scores, newspaper headlines, what was on TV Friday night, and how much a root beer cost.”
“I just give him the stuff,” he sums up. “He takes these threads of truth and reality and weaves them into this fabric of fiction. Sometimes horror is zombies and vampires, but a lot of his books are about the real horror of what people do to each other.”
From time to time, that was difficult for Dorr. “I don’t like horror,” he admits sheepishly, sitting over a coffee in the bookstore. He mentions that, after reading a draft of Pet Sematary in the early ’80s, he asked King, “This is a terrible story about child death — are you sure you really want to publish it?” But then he chuckles at recalling King’s reply: “Russ, put on your big-boy pants.”
Russ Dorr in “Author’s Note” of Under The Dome
Stephen King discusses the contributions of Russ Dorr in the Author’s Note section that appears at the end of “Under The Dome”.
Russ Dorr Written Letter to “Tee-Tee”
“Under Time Dome” was the first book that Stephen King inscribed and dated to “Tee-Tee”. This particular copy of the novel also includes a hand-written letter (into the book on page 1072) from Russ Dorr to “TT”. It reads as follows:
“Tee-Tee” Letter
This letter explains how her brother-in-law was Russ Dorr’s financial advisor and friend. Upon the request, Stephen King was very generous and sent her “Under The Dome”, the first book inscribed to her. He continued to send her signed copies of later published works until she had ten of them. That is one lucky fan!
Personally Inscribed by Stephen King
Each first edition novel has been personally signed by Stephen King (and Owen King for “Sleeping Beauties”) directly onto the title page. No bookplates or “tipped-in” pages by the publisher.
