BALTIMORE, March 30 (UPI) -- Cemetery Dance Publications announced Tuesday it is publishing "Blockade Billy," a new novella by U.S. horror master Stephen King.
The Cemetery Dance exclusive hardcover is expected to ship mid-April.
"I love old-school baseball," King said in a statement. "And I also love the way people who've spent a lifetime in the game talk about the game. I tried to combine those things in a story of suspense. People have asked me for years when I was going to write a baseball story. Ask no more; this is it."
Cemetery Dance said it worked with King to keep "Blockade Billy" under tight wraps so it could be a surprise publication for the beginning of the baseball season.
"As a lifelong baseball fan -- and long suffering Orioles' fan -- I can't think of a better way to open the 2010 season than publishing 'Blockade Billy,'" said Cemetery Dance Publisher Richard Chizmar. "Stephen King and I have corresponded about baseball and books for almost 20 years now. ... So to combine the two is a dream come true for me."
Chuck Verrill, King's agent, added: "Any time a Red Sox fan, an Orioles fan, and a Yankees fan can cooperate on something, the result is bound to be fantastic."
