Stephen King’s “N.” short story becomes cell phone serial
If you like to read you have probably read something by Stephen King. King is one of the all-time bestselling authors and his work has been seen in virtually all possible display mediums. Theatrical films have been made by the dozens based on his work, his stories have appeared in magazines, and TV shows have been built around his work.
King is branching out and bringing a new, original and previously unpublished short story to a new medium. The story is called “N.” and will be offered to viewers on mobile phones and via the Internet. Bringing “N.” to the small screen required a partnership between Scribner, Simon & Schuster Digital, Marvel Entertainment, and CBS Mobile.
The video series will get a new, short installment ever day, 5 days per week starting on July 28 and running until August 29. Each episode will run about 2 minutes and will be offered to mobile users for no additional charge. The episodes will also be available as a paid download in blocks of 5 episodes for $0.99 and a season pass for the entire series will be $3.99.
