Riding the Bullet

Riding the Bullet (2000) is a novella by Stephen King. This work marks Stephen King's debut on the Internet. It was published as an electronic book available for download. As a publicity stunt, the download was free of charge for the first week or so. As a result of this, the load on the web servers of the companies providing the story was so high as to render them totally unusable.
In 2002 the story was published as part of the collection Everything's Eventual: 14 Dark Tales.
A movie adaptation of the story, starring Jonathan Jackson and David Arquette, was released in 2004. See Riding the Bullet (movie)
