Town in a bubble.
(®Scribner)

Brace yourselves.

November 10th is just twelve days away. And with it comes the arrival of Stephen King's latest tome (and a half-- it weighs in at a hefty 1,088 pages) Under the Dome.

In the meantime, King's home-away-from-home, Entertainment Weekly, is rolling out some pretty nifty content today and tomorrow to get his gentle readers geeked out about it.

When's the last time you saw a movie-style trailer for a book?

Even better? People who actually plop down the moolah for this week's issue of EW get to read an excerpt. (No free rides here, mister.)

Even better better? King has also launched a blog and a twitter account, written by one of the book's characters (one would presume), 13-year old 'Scarecrow' Joe. *Special shout-out to fellow Examiner Whitney for the tip!

If you need to know (and do you? really?), the story centers on a tiny little town in Maine that wakes up one morning to find itself covered by a no-one's-going-in-or-out force field. Needless to say, hilarity does not ensue.

So get crackin', doods and doodettes. November 10th will be here before you can say spit.
