Listen to Stephen King’s ‘Batman and Robin have an Altercation’ [Audio]

Stephen King’s son, Joe Hill, once said in an interview that his father’s bedtime stories were different from those of other dads. Those stories included superheroes, like Batman and Robin, in unusual situations.

Stephen King is a great fan of the Caped Crusader and not only did he regale his kids with hilarious stories of super heroes when they were young, he also wrote a more moving story back in 2012 for his adult audience. 

“Batman and Robin Have an Altercation” was first published in Harper’s Magazine as part of a collection of King’s work, but now the story of his favorite superhero is available as audio, via NPR’s Too Hot For Radio podcast, and can be enjoyed at the end of this article. The show has been set up on Soundcloud to air stories NPR are not allowed to broadcast, due to their goriness, sexual content and other controversial content.

Of course, being King, the story it not your normal Batman and Robin story, as it revolves around a man who is lunching with his father. Dad is regrettably suffering from Alzheimer’s and is talking about a Halloween where he and his son went out dressed as Batman and Robin, and he kept getting the details all wrong. The full audio is just over 40 minutes, but you can cut out the intro and jump right into the story at the 5:35 mark.

The tale is read by Stephen Lang, and, as is normal with Stephen King’s stories, shows that Batman is really just a man, like anyone else. OK, he’s rich, and he’s intelligent, but basically he is just that. A man. “Batman and Robin Have An Altercation” offers us the story of a man and what he thinks of his father, who has always been his hero, but who has being brought down by Alzheimer’s and its resulting effects.

Rare signed copy of The Regulators by Stephen King book on auction to help poor

A rare, signed copy of "The Regulators", published in 1996 and written by Stephen King under the pen name Richard Bachman, is to be auctioned off. Proceeds will go to a local fuel fund for poor residents who cannot afford heating this winter.

The book, written by Maine native and popular horror author, Stephen King, has been donated to Scottie's Bookhouse in Hancock by a loyal customer. Initially, the book was unsigned.

"There's only 550 of these that were boxed this way," explained Scottie's Bookhouse Owner Michael Riggs. Its slipcase cover apparently makes it even more unique.

"I told him the book would be worth more if he could get Mr. King to sign it," said Riggs. 

While it is unknown how it actually occurred, if you open the cover now, you'll find that Stephen King has signed and dated it
 

The donor, who prefers to remain anonymous, decided to put the limited edition book up for auction to help local residents survive the winter.  All proceeds from the sale of the book will go to the Emmaus Homeless Shelter's emergency fuel fund in Ellsworth. 

The Shelter Director, Sister Lucille MacDonald, told WABI-TV, "I just think it's an ingenious way of being able to get a little bit extra to help people out." 
 

"People come in and their tanks are empty and they have children and babies and the elderly. The other day an 85-year-old woman came in to the shelter and I was able to give fuel for her," she added. 

And now the shelter may be able to help out many more with the potential for a very high bid on this rare copy of "The Regulators."

The signed book is currently on display at the bookstore at 209 Route 1 in Hancock and bids will be accepted by email or phone until January
