For the "Set in New England" square, I decided to go with a Stephen King book. I chose this one because I used to watch the movie all the time (had a HUGE thing for Timothy Hutton back in the day), and yet I had never read the book. My verdict? I liked it, but I didn't love it. I struggled with it...
I don't like Stephen King's writing. It turns out I like his poetry even less. His poem goes at length to describe the doings and ramblings of The Dark Man, who wanders through desolate scenery, stuff common to King writings. Abandoned circuses, crawling spiders, misshapen scare-crows, etc. Fi...
“But writers INVITE ghosts, maybe; along with actors and artists, they are the only totally accepted mediums of our society. They make worlds that never were, populate them with people who never existed, and then invite us to join them in their fantasies. And we do it, don't we? Yes. We PAY to do it...
Stephen King aficionados might get a kick out of this geekgasm disguised as a review. It's not all new info, but I didn't know about Guy Pilsbury. If you know who that is (or should have been), you get a cookie. Also, I cannot promise there won't be spoilers, but I will try my best.Okay, we're all c...
Brace yourself for some layers of authorship! Ready? This book was written by Stephen King as Stephen King not too long after the "death" by exposure of his pseudonym Richard Bachman. The story is about an author, Thad Beaumont, who, under similar circumstances, has just laid to rest his own success...
Audible version, read by Grover Gardner. I'm rereading Stephen King along with James Smythe of the Guardian @ http://www.theguardian.com/books/series/rereading-stephen-king and this one is up next. DH had always been my least favorite SK, but I hadn't read it since I was a teen and thought it would ...
I will be the first to tell you that I'm not a poetry fan. I'm just not. I don't like reading verse, I don't like trying to figure out line breaks, I don't like what is, to me, awkward rhythms and cadence of the words. But Stephen King's poetry is somehow the exception to the rule. Well, two of them...
I found this enjoyable and compelling. The characters were believable and realistic (at least the ones that were supposed to be), and the tension flowed nicely along throughout the story. Good mix of horror and thriller. I loved the usage of the sparrows, not an animal you'd usually associate wit...
