Have you had enough of Mr Mercedes by Stephen King yet? No, of course not! Readers who decided to go for it might be at different stages of this deliciously created novel’s consumption: be it waiting-on-the-delivery, reading-in-progress, engulfed-already, but certainly latest news will shake everyone’s worlds equally.
Stephen King is a master of building the tension on many levels. The dust has not even settled yet, as it has only been 10 days after Mr Mercedes’ much anticipated release, but water in this pot simply needs to keep boiling. What is it that he has got prepared for us this time?
Amongst fans’ who commented, exemplary responses followed as below:
“For reals? That's pretty dang awesome.” – @Loerwyn
“WHEEEE! MORE BOOKS PLEASE!” - @megslice
“Well, hello new favorite trilogy!” - @MichaelVarrati
explaining things! He reassured his fans with this next tweet:
So we know that the story will be continued in two volumes to follow and now we know that volume two will be entitled Finders Keepers. Is it really that much of a spoiler? Does it really give the end of the story from part one a whole new angle? Would it have been interpreted differently if King kept it secret just a little bit longer?
I just cannot resist to say, making a reference to one of the book trailers analysed earlier on, that it is Mr Mercedes and you should have taken him seriously when he said “You won’t see me coming!” Did you though?
Stephen King is not known for creating book series', perhaps apart from Dark Tower. However, fans agreed that it is justified for the genre that King decided to tackle for the first time now in Mr Mercedes, meaning detective fiction. Part two is due in 2015 and we are dying to find out how the plot can be developed.
There will be a Trilogy – it is official!
