Faithful is a 2004 book co-written by Stephen King and Stewart O'Nan. It chronicles exchanges between King and O'Nan about the 2004 Boston Red Sox season, beginning with an e-mail in the summer of 2003, and throughout the 2004 season, from spring training to the World Series.
The book was dedicated to Victoria Snelgrove,[1] an Emerson College student who was struck in the eye by a projectile fired by the Boston Police Department during crowd-control actions near Fenway Park following Game 7 of the American League Championship Series, resulting in her death approximately 12 hours later.[2]
On May 4, 2007, The Boston Globe reported that HBO would be adapting the book into a six-part miniseries for 2008.[3][4] In September 2008, King wrote, "The script is just goddamn hilarious."[5] There is, however, no indication that such a miniseries was actually made.
