11/13/2008 NEW YORK The animated video adaptation of the horror master's short story
"N." has been viewed more than a 1 million times on the Internet
and on mobile phones since its release in July, according to
publisher Simon & Schuster. King has well demonstrated his digital
appeal before; his e-novella "Riding the Bullet" was a sensation
in the early years of the Internet.
"Stephen King has once again lured his readers to try a new way
to enjoy a story," Susan Moldow, executive vice president and
publisher of Scribner, a division of Simon & Schuster, said
Thursday in a statement.
The print version of King's short story, in which a psychiatrist
fatally absorbs the madness of one of his patients, is included in
the collection "Just After Sunset," released this week.
