An indie horror publishing company hopes that it will have a homerun with a new novella 
by internationally-renowned author Stephen King. 
The release of the baseball-themed book "Blockade Billy" is timed to coincide with 
Major League Baseball's season opening.
Many of King's novels, such as "Cujo" and "The Shining" have made transitions 
to the big screen.
The story is about a baseball player who may have been the best ever. 
However, he was erased from the record books because of a skeleton in his closet. 

호러물을 다루는 한 독립출판사가 국제적 명성을 가진 작가 스티븐 킹의 새로운 중편 소설로 
성공을 거두길 희망합니다.
야구가 소재로 쓰인 책 [블록케이드 빌리]의 출판은 미국 메이저리그 야구 시즌이 시작되는 것과 
때를 같이하고 있습니다.
[쿠조]와 [샤이닝] 등 스티븐 킹의 많은 소설들이 영화화되기도 했죠.
이번 신작은 최고의 선수였을지도 모르는 한 야구 선수가 주인공입니다.
하지만 어떤 수치스러운 비밀 때문에 각종 기록에서 제외된 선수의 이야기라고 합니다.
