The Stephen King Thread

I doubt it. I didn't hate him, but I was always racing through his pages to get back to the people I liked... Stu, Larry and such.

M-O-O-N, that spells moon

I tried racing through his pages, his first chapter was a grueling nightmare for me to finish.

Trash was definitely responsible for alot of meh chapters in the book. Sorry, guy, but I just dont care about your life stories... now give me some Larry or Nick, please. up:

 

[Eggyman]

BAY-beee can you dig your man?

I ****ing hate that song.

 

[SsM]

I liked it in the book, I don't like the way they did it in the mini. I was thinking more of a really deep voice when I read the lyrics...

The new Stephen King novella entitled Mortality is featured in the July 2009 issue of Esquire magazine. The magazine should be on newsstands this week and features the Israeli model, Bar Refaeli on the cover with a temporary tattoo of the story covering her body. A scan of the cover is below…happy reading!

When does the actual book come out or has it already?

The story hasn't been released in any book yet, but I suppose it might be released in some kind of short story collection in the future (since it's seems to be more of a novella rather than a full length novel I doubt it will be released in a stand alone book, but you never know...)

 

[squeekness]

I'm going to try and pick it up anyhow. Just don't know what day of the week the mag comes out.....

 

[squeekness]

I just checked with my local (massachusetts) magazine shop and the guy told me the magazine would be out on thursday if anyone wants to know.

I need to get back to reading the Dark Tower. I read The Gunslinger and I own the first 4 books, but I never got around to finishing them.

Looks like King is already at work at a new novel after the still unreleased Under the Dome:

New novel...

This interesting info was posted on King's official board by it's moderator:


It may be a while before he gets to the third book of The Talisman but he has been working on a new novel for a while now. And, as always, I can't say anything about the plot yet.


Very good news if you ask me...

I am watching Pet Semetary now. I gotta say this has got to be his best Movie adaptation. I still can't believe that place used to be his house! That is one creepy ass house.

Also did anyone else think that there is someting weird about the old man? He seems to direct them towards the evil.

 

[squeekness]

IMDB says that wasn't his house, just 20 minutes from it.

 

[Ghostvirus]

The Imdb is wrong.

 

[squeekness]

How do you know.... ?

 

[SsM]

Is Duma Key any good?

Indeed it is; as an aside, Pet Semetary was the first King book I read. You're talking about Judd? He was a good character and I agree. He came off as a very congenial oldster (lbeing ikeable and all), yet there seemed to be some underlying evil about him too.

I'm working on The Regulators right now. The characters aren't as good as they were in Desperation. However, Collie, Tak, and the journal entries are really good.

 

[Ghostvirus]

I f-ing love Desperation! Until I read the Dark Tower series last year. It was my favorite King book.

 

[SsM]

I'm reading the Dark Tower now. I started the third book last night.

 

[Victarion]

How did you like the first two?

 

[SsM]

The first one started out kind of bleh. I think I was expecting something different, after I got used to it it was a breeze. Especially when he encountered the DM towards the end.

The second one was great though, I zipped through it in a couple days worth of reading, I don't get much time to read so it's going to take me a while to get through the rest.

 

[Victarion]

I had similar thoughts toward the first as well. Out of curiosity, what did you expect before reading it?

I'm not really sure, something more rooted in horror, I suppose.

Now that I actually care about the characters I think it's going to be a breeze. I'm sure most of them will die :/

 

[Victarion]

Aaah. Well, enjoy The Waste Lands.

 

[Ghostvirus]

Dude go out & get the 4 the book before you finish the 3rd...Seriously.
