Stephen King Book • Page 41

Freeform Turning Stephen King’s 2013 Novel “Joyland” into a Television Series so I haven't read these yet, but Freeform?

 

pumped for this!

 

Almost finished with The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. Not his creepiest, but as far as his shorter novels go it's pretty great.

 

Didn't realize Elevation was already out, I'm slacking. Just ordered a copy, will probably read it over the weekend unless I'm glued to Red Dead again

 

Will be hitting you up soon to record!

 

Great book, but it's different from his normal stuff.

 

I actually found it to be the most terrifying of his novels but being alone in the woods and little girls in danger are like the two things that destroy me. I know most King fans find that insane, lol.

 

i just read over the wiki description of this and i don't remember it at all lol. I think heady surreal stuff tends to lose me. I might need to reread just that battle

 

Just finished Pet Sematary. I’ve never seen the movie so going into this book I just thought it would be animals scaring people.

My god. What a dark, depressing, and rather disturbing story when you summarize it. Loved every page. The ending was so good. He could have written the simple/easy ending but just took it further and even more disturbing than I thought.

It’s pretty much Stephen King meets Pyscho/Bates Motel and I loved it.

 

Probably one of the only books I haven't read because I assumed the book entirely revolved around pets coming back to life. Maybe I should give it a try. Elevation just showed up in the mail and it's incredibly short for an SK novel so I might read that in its entirety tomorrow

 

I literally thought all my life it was just a cat and fish coming back to life and killing people so I figured it’d be lame. NOPE. It’s a depressing/dark family story and I felt miserable after reading it (but like...in a good way?)

 

I finished Full Dark, No Stars yesterday and overall I liked it a lot. Not exactly a fun read but the stories for the most part are really good

Also bought Gwendy's Button Box in a library book sale

 

Totally agree. Its like explaining that Cujo isn't just a story about a rabid dog or IT about a scary clown

 

First full episode of the podcast is here. Chat Sematary | 1: Carrie (1974) | Episode 1

 

Awesome! and Carrie is on Shudder so this will be a good reason to rewatch.

 

Nice. Movie episode should be episode 3 I believe.

 

yeah I definitely need to get back on track with my Stephen King read/audible listens. Have Needful Things and Dead Zone lined up. I've been bouncing around, probably should've started from the beginning to better manage it haha

 

The Stand is now in my possession. Man, this book looks daunting but I’m excited.

 

There's no way I am gonna have all of the book read by 11/28 since I typically read mostly on my morning and evening commute to work. I smell a library renew in a few weeks haha.

 

After finishing WoT, I’m gonna make another go at Dark Tower.

Starting Drawing of Three tonight.

 

yeah I need to re-read The Waste Lands and finally pick the series back up

 

Just finished watching The a Shining again for the podcast. Still such a good horror movie despite the big differences from the book. Also watched the Salem’s Lot from 1979 the other day and that was something.

Saw Elevation at the library so I snagged it. Will likely blow through that before starting on Cujo now. So many Stephen King things to read/watch since I had the crazy podcast idea.

 

Salem's Lot scared the piss out of me when I was 10 and I still often think of the scene where the kid floats up out of the fog and scratches on his friend's window.

 

Did a count today and I've read 21 King books, which is crazy to me because there's still a bunch I want to read from him. Doubt I'll ever read every single King book but there's at least 10 or so more that I really want to read.

 

This was the first I had watched it. Some of it was clearly not great, but it’s largely due to when it was made so I always try to keep that in mind.
