Stephen King Joins Benjamin Percy's Serial Novel 'The End Times' as Contributing Writer

BROOKINGS, SD - Bad Hand Books [https://badhandbooks.com/], an independent publisher of genre fiction based in South Dakota, is thrilled to announce that legendary horror author Stephen King has joined us as a contributing writer for Benjamin Percy's The End Times [https://badhandbooks.com/preorders/the-end-times-digital-subscription]. The short, serialized novel will begin publishing in November as a monthly newspaper in physical and digital formats.

"The end of human civilization just got a lot cooler," said Doug Murano, founder and CEO of Bad Hand Books. "We were excited to publish Benjamin Percy's experimental project from day one, but the addition of Stephen King takes it to another level."

The End Times is a tale of quirky humor, startling fear, deep love, faith in humanity, and-ultimately- hope. As the world struggles to begin again-years after a pandemic wipes out most of the population-a woman finds meaning as a writer and editor when she revives an old printing press and begins publishing a small-town newspaper.

"The point of this is not that the world is ending," Percy revealed [https://www.fangoria.com/stephen-king-the-end-times-benjamin-percy/]on The Kingcast. "The world has ended and it's rebuilding."

New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill recently wrote about The End Times in his Substack newsletter and expressed enthusiasm for the printed version of the project.

"I've still got my printed copies of Wednesday Comics and I'm gonna have Percy's End Times , too," Hill said. "What about you?"

The limited print run sold out almost instantly, but digital pre-orders are still available at the Bad Hand Books website, www.badhandbooks.com [https://badhandbooks.com/]. Digital subscribers will receive a 15% discount on the eventual omnibus edition. Additionally, when digital pre-orders reach 500 subscribers, Bad Hand Books will begin donating $1 from every subscription to the ACLU to support freedom of speech, freedom of the press and the freedom to read.
