In one way, at least, our lives really are like movies. - first sentence During the first three-quarters of this book, we get to know the characters, especially Jamie.

“Lightning had smashed the lock on a door that was never supposed to be opened, and Mother came through.” Revival is now my favorite Stephen King novel. Yup, forget The Dead Zone. Needful Things?

Mr. King returns to the horror genre in a tale that walks a perilous fin...

A couple of weeks back, a friend of mine and I were discussing some of our favorite bands, some of whom have been around since the '80s and '90s. We were discussing their latest albums, comparing them to what they did back in their heydays, and while we liked the new stuff well enough, they just co...
