Can you find all of Stephen King's new book, Under The Dome? All 336,114 words of it has been hidden across the internet. An excerpt:

Today Stephen King’s UK publisher Hodder & Stoughton launches the biggest ever game of literary hide-and-seek. His much-awaited epic novel UNDER THE DOME, featuring over 100 characters and running to 336,114 words, has been broken into more than 5,000 snippets (scattered across hundreds of websites and locations throughout the UK) as a way to celebrate the breadth of this masterpiece and to give fans a one-off opportunity to piece the book back together before its general release on 10th November.

Extracts of the book have been hidden across Stephen King fansites as well as horror, thriller and lifestyle websites, and offline. Fans are invited to continue this hiding process and also to find the snippets using the clues given on www.stephenking.co.uk and deliver them back to the website.

What an intriguing way to push the new book!
