Stephen King is one of the most popular and prolific writers in the history of popular fiction. Yet for as much as he has published, King also has a large number of "trunk" novels - unpublished, and generally unfinished works that have never and may never see the light of day. These are novels cast aside, largely forgotten, yet over the years their existence has been made public, either through excerpts leaking out to the fan community, or because they have been mentioned in various interviews.

These are the Holy Grail for King fans. While King may have had his reasons for giving up on them, a number sound like they'd be worth another look. And it's not entirely unlikely that one or two may finally see the light of day: two such works have been published in recent years, 2007's Blaze, put out under King's pen name Richard Bachman, and Under The Dome, which started life in the 70s as a novel entitled Under The Dome, then wound up re-written in the early 80s as The Cannibals, before finally being published under its original name in 2009.

So, knowing that King isn't entirely adverse to dusting off an old manuscript and tweaking it, what unfinished works should he give another chance? Here's a look at ten!
