Received notification of this set a few months back via a B&N email. I'll be getting it from Water Street.

Each of these paperbacks are already available so I am assuming they just chose four existing books and added a slipcase. Your question did prompt me to compare the retails and the slipcase adds $15.02 to the retail.
The Mist = $6.99 Amazon.com: The Mist (9781982103521): King, Stephen: Books
Apt Pupil = $11.35 Amazon.com: Apt Pupil (9781982115449): King, Stephen: Books
The Sun Dog = $8.47 Amazon.com: The Sun Dog (9781982115425): King, Stephen: Books
The Body = $10.17 Amazon.com: The Body (9781982103538): King, Stephen: Books
Purchased alone they total $36.98
Purchased with Slipcase total $52.00
Scribner released these little individual story paperbacks a few years ago. I have encountered them at Powell's. They never stock all of them at once. They usually have two or three stories stocked at a time. Each visit seems to have a different assortment. The possible exception appears to be Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption which they usually have.

Details? I am aware of a fall release of the three Hardcase books in a slipcase but not of a four book set.

I Haven't Seen This New Set Mentioned Here Which Surprises Me
So I stumbled upon a new SK release, four books in a slipcase. I actually learned of this release on Facebook. I do not see the release mentioned here. One of the books is one I wanted and missed out on. I just preordered it.
