Stephen King Experiment Ended

Stephen King has pulled is Web-based novel "The Plant" from his site due to an excessive number of users downloading the parts of the novel without paying for them. The experiment began in late July when the first installment was released against the wishes of Mr. King's publishers.

While King also told reporters that he was stopped working on the novel to pursue other works at this point, the main reason for dropping the project was the lack of honesty in the "honor system" set up by the acclaimed author.

According to CNet, those other works he will now pick up on include "Dreamcatcher," "The Dark Tower," and "Black House," a sequel to a previous King novel, "The Talisman."
