New Stephen King Book

[SpaceShip]

Hm - for someone who writes such scary stuff - makes you wonder what the man is made of if he's worried about such things as maybe being blown to smithereens!

I mean - having an experience like that could be excellent material for one of his books!

Ah, I think having one near death experience (back in 1999) is enough for him, I'm sure! Still, it's such a shame he's not coming to the UK, even though I probably wouldn't have been able to go and see him anyway. He's got so many fans here, I'm sure they'd all love a visit from him.

I think he's had enough 'book' experiences in his life quite a few of his stories are based on his real life events then he had that sort of Misery experience when he got run over

 

[HoopyFrood]

His life, and certainly the car accident, is very much entwined with the Dark Tower series. I love how he includes himself in that series, I don't judge him at all for doing it. It is his opus magus and I think he has every right to be in it. And it creates a very interesting storyline, giving it a very personal, SK style rather than a 'normal' fantasy.

Opus magus?

Deed magical?

 

[HoopyFrood]

Oh dear have I got the wrong thing? Let me google!
Here we go...I meant Magnum Opus. I do apologise.

Have you read the Magus by John Fowles? Jolly good.
