ELLSWORTH (AP) — A signed copy of a rare Stephen King book is up for auction at a bookstore, with proceeds going to a homeless shelter’s emergency home heating fund.
The copy of “The Regulators,” written by King under the pen name Richard Bachman, was donated by a customer of Scottie’s Bookhouse in Hancock.
Owner Michael Riggs says there are only 550 copies of the book in a special collector’s box.
Auction proceeds will go to the Emmaus Homeless Shelter’s emergency fuel fund in Ellsworth.
