Stephen King's N.

September 3, 2008 12:00 AM

Building on the success of their comic-book adaptations of Stephen King's Dark Tower novel series, Marvel Comics has teamed up with the horror master to produce N., an online video series based on his new short story of the same name.

Stephen King's N. tells the story of psychiatrist named John Bonsain who's driven mad by one of his patients, and commits suicide. It is narrated by John's sister after she comes into possession of the late doctor's session notes. It seems that John's patient—known only as "N"—was suffering from obsession compulsive disorder brought on by a supernatural encounter with monolith's in a place known as Ackerman's Field. And it could be catching.

The Stephen King series is available free online through it's "N Is Here" Web site. The site features a clunky Web interface which plays the latest episode first, and then proceeds to play through the rest of the series in reverse order. An option to play it in chronological order would have been nice. Stephen King's N. can also be viewed via cell phones through CBS Mobile and downloaded for a fee from iTunes. Diehard fans can add can add it to their MySpace, Facebook and other sites through use of a built-in social networking toolbox. The short story "N." will be released in print format this fall as part of Stephen King's upcoming Just After Sunset anthology. A graphic novel is scheduled to follow in 2009.
