Frank Muller


I've just this evening finished reading the latest Stephen Kind Dark Tower book (Volume V - Wolves of the Calla) and got to the afterword where Stephen King mentioned that this guy called Frank Muller had been injured in a motorbike accident and that he and some other top-row authors had set up a fund to help. Stories like this are, sadly, a dime a dozen (to borrow the US expression) and normally I'd be sympathetic but unlikely to pursue the matter, however in this case the name Frank Muller was familiar so I wanted to find out some more.

In the afterword of Wolves of Calla Stephen King mentioned that Frank Muller had done a lot of audio recordings of his books, it was then that it struck me - I was listening to a Frank Muller recital of The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub. I'd also heard recordings he'd done of other Stephen King books. Determined to confirm this I went to Audible and, sure enough, a search on Frank Muller's name pulled up a list of books, many that'd I've already listened to and others that I'd put on my wish list. I then noticed a recording called The Wavedancer Benefit, which was an evening of recitals by famous authors (King and Grisham, amongst others) in aid of the Wavedancer fund - I've now bought this recording (the first full price recording I've bought from Audible) in order to make a contribution, albeit a small one, to the recovery of a talented artist who I hope, in the future, will be able to delight again with his excellent recitals.
