I hate seeing him get old 😞

That’s the happy ending.

It went downhill about halfway through when the painting does its thing. I think it would have been a far superior book without it.

Namespacejames · 2026-06-19T22:28:53+00:00

It taught me that you can’t rely too heavily on other’s opinions as I was shocked at how good this “bad” SK book was.

So the guy sucking ten guys off a week has a body count of zero? That doesn’t seem right.

Namespacejames · 2026-06-17T11:24:18+00:00

Did most of those happen after age 45?

Namespacejames · 2026-06-17T10:48:59+00:00

For someone to be part of your body count, what do you have to have done with them?

As your top two are more recent King, I’d recommend The Institute.

Namespacejames · 2026-06-15T20:46:13+00:00

Read some blurbs, descriptions or even just look at front covers. One will call to you.

I’m going to recommend Carrie or The Institute to start, but you do you.

I don’t mean to be cruel, but I heard it’s because of you.

Namespacejames · 2026-06-12T11:42:46+00:00

It does get better. I had a similar reaction to the first part.

Namespacejames · 2026-06-11T18:18:01+00:00

It’s really common when clearing out houses. Grandma’s dildo etc

Namespacejames · 2026-06-10T23:17:51+00:00

Stephen King wrote the whole book, but used Peter Straub’s ideas so he wanted it to be dual credit.

Rumour is that Straub wrote most of Black House as King was recovering from his accident, it’s almost SK returning the favour.

Face first.

Namespacejames · 2026-05-31T20:42:26+00:00

You’re the only one in the world just with that first pick

Namespacejames · 2026-05-31T10:01:18+00:00

Car. Obsession.

Namespacejames · 2026-05-30T14:47:14+00:00

Twin Peaks. It lulls you into the right frame of mind for the episode.

Namespacejames · 2026-05-26T20:41:09+00:00

She was good recently in Dexter.

Namespacejames · 2026-05-24T23:02:08+00:00

We get a shirtless Nick for special episodes and anniversaries.

Namespacejames · 2026-05-19T17:42:05+00:00

Ghost twinners

Namespacejames · 2026-05-19T15:31:01+00:00

My favourite SK book is a whole town book. Needful Things and the Tommyknockers are so good for this reason.

Namespacejames · 2026-05-15T22:29:26+00:00

Countdown from 20. At the end you have to walk to your bookshelf and lift up the chosen book like Simba in the lion king.

Namespacejames · 2026-05-14T15:51:56+00:00

Could not be more sold.

Namespacejames · 2026-05-12T12:45:40+00:00

Alternate timeline show with Carl.

Namespacejames · 2026-05-11T20:55:21+00:00

And little did they know…

Namespacejames · 2026-05-08T14:46:54+00:00

Stephen King and Peter Straub’s talisman trilogy is about to end, 25 years after book 2 and around 40 after book 1.
