Thought I'd share these images from THE SHINING: A VISUAL AND CULTURAL HAUNTING, put out by Rough Trade Books. It's a fantastic collection of analysis, ephemera, trivia, and photos.
This #audiobook of IT by #StephenKing is narrated by Steven Weber and he does such a fantastic job, especially with all the voices he's asked to do including a lot of Maine accents, that I have a much greater appreciate for his acting talents and it makes me excited for getting to watching The Shining minseries he stars in which I picked up on #VHS a few months back for my watch through of Mike Garris's filmography.
I watched #stephenking's latest "The Boogeyman" last night! Don't look under the bed! An old tale told by a master storyteller and definitely worth the watch :) #horror#theboogeyman
This article is trying too hard. #StephenKing and #DeanKoontz are not rivals, and they don't typically write in the same genre. While King is unquestionably the king of #Horror, Koontz leans heavier on #sciencefiction. They're both amazing authors who have created wonderful stories over the years. There's no need to invent a rivalry.
Jeze here. I'm a #horror aficionado with it being my favorite form of entertainment both in film and literature. I enjoy writing and reading particularly short stories with #StephenKing being my favorite. Currently been playing with an idea I've had in my head for ages for a story called "Eternity."
As for music I'm into rock, metal, and punk with two of my favorite bands being Alkaline Trio and Slipknot. They both offer those goosebump inducing hooks. I'm also a guitarist but never had a home in a band of my own.
I'm a gamer at heart with a penchant for #Nintendo and #retrogaming. I grew up with Nintendo franchises, and they hold a special place in my memory. #DOS era gaming for PC being my favorite time period with titles like #DooM and #Duke3D. Later on #EverQuest would be my escape from reality and living my dark elvish vampire dreams. I knew far too much dark elvish to be considered a healthy person.
I believe #birds to be precious and should be protected at all costs. They are perfection. They are the only dinosaurs to rise from the ashes of the Chicxulub asteroid which is pretty metal if you ask me. They were here first and the Earth is their planet. Us mammals have no right to pillage their ecosystems the way we do.
In celebration of the 50th birthday of Stephen King's first novel, "Carrie," NPR polled its readers on their favorite King books. Here's what they chose. Which is your top pick? Tell us in the comments if there's a gem that didn't make the cut.
How gorgeous is this fiftieth anniversary edition of Carrie by the legendary Stephen King? Out now from Hodder & Stoughton, hardback with metallic leaf embossed cover, and foreword by Margaret Atwood
Today in Labor History March 17, 1968: The U.S. Army Chemical Corps killed over 6,000 sheep while illegally testing a nerve gas agent at the Dugway Proving Ground in Skull Valley, Utah. A 1998 report, the by Air Force Press was the "first documented admission" from the Army that a nerve agent killed the sheep at Skull Valley. The incident inspired Stephen King's novel “The Stand.”
Issue #4 of "House of Cards", the second comic series based on The Drawing of the Three.
Now we're at the moment of the big shootout. And where heads will roll.
I have zero skills in the visual arts, but I'd have to imagine the artists for this series had to have been nervous about bringing this pivotal moment to life.
I know licenses had to be taken given the target audience of a comic book series, but it was an important plot point for Eddie to have been buck naked during this shootout. It was the first time that Roland admired Eddie and thought of him as a possible gunslinger.

Literally & metaphorically, the Sun is gaslighting us. We're in a relationship with a bi-polar Solar partner. It gives us light but also makes shadows. There's light we can't see! What's Sol hiding? We're told to fear the dark, but Night is when we rest! What to do, what to do..?
Four years ago #today, I asked Emily St. John Mandel about her fellow author Stephen King's commentary regarding those who compare coronavirus to events in The Stand. Her reply:
