James Patterson has had second thoughts about publishing his new book, The Murder of Stephen King.
Patterson’s The Murder of Stephen King, which he co-wrote with Derek Nikitas, will not be released on Nov. 1 as planned.
“My book is a positive portrayal of a fictional character, and, spoiler alert, the main character is not actually murdered,” Patterson said in a statement, explaining his decision. “Nevertheless, I do not want to cause Stephen King or his family any discomfort. Out of respect for them, I have decided not to publish The Murder of Stephen King.”
The plot of The Murder of Stephen King follows a character who is a Stephen King fanatic. The psychotic fan sets out to re-create murders from King’s horror books, and intends to culminate his mission by killing King himself.
Incidentally, while Patterson has claimed to be a fan of King’s work, King doesn’t think much of Patterson’s. In 2009, King called him a “a terrible writer” in an interview with the U.K. Guardian.
Replacing The Murder of Stephen King on the Nov. 1 release date will be Taking The Titanic, Patterson’s book about a band of thieves on the ill-fated ship.
