“The Night Flier” and “Dolan’s Cadillac” were both adapted to films of the same respective names. “Chattery Teeth” was adapted into a segment of the film Quicksilver Highway. “Sorry, Right Number” was telecast as an episode of Tales from the Darkside before it was published in Nightmares & Dreamscapes. “The Moving Finger” was adapted into an episode of the TV show Monsters. “Home Delivery” and “Rainy Season” were adapted into short films
A very handsome clean, crisp example of this scarce signed title. Would make a wonderful special gift for a Stephen King collector.
