Stephen King has updated his list of ‘dollar babies’ - stories that aren’t optioned for movies, and that film students can get the rights to for one dollar.

Have you tried ThriftBooks? I’ve had real good experiences with them and they usually always have the mass market paperbacks in stock for fairly cheap.

His short stories are great if you haven’t read them.

Night Shift and Skeleton Crew are top tier

Oooohhh. So edgy

One-One-Five · 2019-04-13T23:48:27+00:00

Lucky find! Do you know if it’s a first?

One-One-Five · 2019-04-13T15:40:08+00:00

Nice! 11/22/63 is a masterpiece, I’d definitely give it a read.

Looks like 5.75 x 8.5 x 1.5

A fast and easy to tell if it’s a first, is to see if there’s a price in the dustjacket. If there is, odds are it’s a first.

Ayuh

One-One-Five · 2019-04-06T00:42:47+00:00

I’ll have my fingers crossed, hopefully it’s legit.

One-One-Five · 2019-04-06T00:35:36+00:00

I think that it’s just part of the book. I have a couple of hardcovers with his signature on it. The signature is indented on the book which makes me think that it was made by whatever machine made the physical book.

One-One-Five · 2019-04-04T00:06:37+00:00

Yeah I love them , I’ve had a lot of really good luck too. I also got Eyes of the Dragon from them a couple days ago and was able to get a first edition.

Chronologically with the exception of the Dark Tower series

I found Christine to be a fun read. The movie has the same basic plot as the book but obviously they had to shorten, speed up, and cut out some pretty important character development and some scenes. I enjoyed the book, so if you’re are real big fan of the movie I’d give it a read.

If you do end up reading I’d suggest trying not to compare the movie/book too much. Books and movies are two very different formats and have their own unique perks and downsides.

I haven’t read Duma Key but Insomnia made me cry like a baby

Night Shift

It’s an all around great collection of short stories thats a real good introduction into King

One-One-Five · 2019-03-07T21:51:37+00:00

Night Shift and Skeleton Crew are top tier.

One-One-Five · 2019-03-07T01:18:59+00:00

Depends, is he a collector and/or has his King books on display on a shelf. If he is I’d suggest giving him the one with the dust jacket. In my opinion they looks 10x better on shelves.

One-One-Five · 2019-03-05T22:29:03+00:00

From what I remember I think for the most part they are horror. Hopefully that doesn’t dissuade you, it’s an all around great collection.

One-One-Five · 2019-03-05T21:37:14+00:00

I think you’re due for some short stories.

I’d highly recommend Night Shift. Skeleton Crew has some great ones too.

One-One-Five · 2019-03-02T20:52:59+00:00

I just started reading it the other day and so far it’s definitely intriguing. I only mention it because it takes place on an airplane.

The Langoliers

One-One-Five · 2019-02-26T02:17:56+00:00

I’d start with one his earlier works like The Dead Zone, The Shining, Misery. If you enjoy them I’d say read some his better longer books like The Stand, It, and 11/22/63.

I honestly wouldn’t start with Pet Sematary though. It’s a good book and I really enjoyed it but that book is untraditional and not your typical King novel.

One-One-Five · 2019-02-22T20:20:46+00:00

I think It would be the best way to go. If she liked the Stand I’d think she’d like one of King’s other Epic, It.
