stephen king

I just thought it was random enough and completely true to post this here. I am related to Stephen King. He is one of my dad's cousins. Unfortunately I have never actually met him. Although I would LOVE to some day.

Permalink: http://www.omphalosbookreviews.com/index.php/reviews/info/199 One of the first adult genre books that I ever read, back when I was eleven or so, was Stephen King's The Stand from 1978. I was a bit reluctant to pick it up at first because it was so big. At 750 pages it was bigger...

I've started Dumas Key today but I'm struggling to get into to it. I don't normally have this problem with King. Some of his work is so so but I still find them easy to get into. This doesn't seem to be engaging me in any way. 90 pages in should I give it up as a lost cause or stick with it?

The Wind Through the Keyhole, out next year! The Dark Tower: The Wind Through The Keyhole - Coming 2012

Yes, you heard (read) right, it's finally happening. I just heard (via facebook of all the lame places) that Ron Howard has been announced as a director for screenplays of the Dark Tower in 2013 (will likely be pushed back, can't rush it). I say screenplays because it's currently scheduled...

New novel, out in November. Could be interesting, though it seems a bit of a contrivance as to the time travel. 'Oh, back there? Nah, nothing, just my time portal.' Stephen King's 11/22/63 - In Stores November 8th 2011

Odd. Didn't see a thread for it. Good collection of stories. 1922 was probably my favorite, although it did suffer somewhat from almost being too long for its own good. Big Driver and A Perfect Marriage are both close on its heels. Fair Extension is last on my list, but still an...

In the new intro of Dark Tower, SK references multiple times a "patrol boy", who visits people once or several times in their life and knocks them down, he credits him for the accident, and warns the reader that if he hasn't come for you yet, he will eventually.:eek: That creeped me out:D, but...

Picked this up on Stephen King's 'The Stand' being made into feature film Looks like a single film incorporating the whole book.

I recently got a collection of Stephen King short stories out of the library - I was hooked instantly. I found his writing clear and accessible, and his understanding of human nature scarily accurate... The question is, where do I go next? Any suggestions for a good Stephen King book? Keep in...

I saw and loved the thread about DT quotes and thought that it might be nice to have a best quotes thread pertaining to all SK books, short stories, calendars (Cycle of the Werewolf) and what not. One of my favorites, one that I will never forget, is a line about Larry Underwood from The Stand...

goddamn, did anyone else thoroughly enjoy this short story? (published in skeleton crew) wonderfully told story-within-a-story, interesting idea, and a perfectly macabre and obscene ending **** was so cash

now, i know that the point of the story wasn't to establish the exact nature of the buick, as a matter of fact its utterly enigmatic character was essential to the book's themes, but it's still fun to speculate what exactly happened when someone crossed over the buick's world it seems to me...

Was anyone else suprised when Roland called Hax's name as he approached the Tower? He (Hax) was a traitor and murderer and hung for his crimes but Roland sems to have felt something for the cook. Anyone have any ideas? TheDreadElectric

Ron Howard, director of films such as The Da Vinci Code, Apollo 13 and A Beautiful Mind, has signed on to tackle a movie trilogy based on Stephen King's seven-volume Dark Tower sequence. According to the source, there is also the possibility of a spin-off television series being developed...

Any news on the latest book King is working on? The one that will be between Wizard and Glass and The Wolves of Calla. Has anyone heard about what he may add or forgot to add the first time around. Correct me if im wrong but isn't this the time right before he introduces himself to the story?

No WAY! Just had to get that out of the way first and foremost. So, this short story as collected in Just After Sunset is now being turned into a graphic novel. I am rather pleased to hear this because I really enjoyed this short story, it has become one of my favourite shorts full stop...

...from an emergency room doctor who once treated my son a few months back. Stephen King is rumored to have a home on Casey Key, just off the west coast of FL. This doctor lives in Nokomis, just inland from Casey Key, and was in the local grocery store one day holding his two-year old daughter...

Sorry guys, i couldn't find another thread on this. So, after 20 years, i've decided to re-read this incredible book. (It's only taken me this long because i once tried to watch the TV movie and it just completely ruined this book for me.) There seems to be a fair amount of division on...

Sometimes the "Recommended for you!" section on Amazon really throws up some good stuff. Thanks to it, I've found out about this -- The Stand: Captain Trips and The Stand: American Nightmares. Presumably following in the tracks of the The Dark Tower adaption, the epic novel The Stand is also...
