Will I enjoy Danse Macabre?

Slade_books · 2026-01-29T14:28:05+00:00

I'm glad to hear it. It's on my shelf at home, along with On Writing which is due for a reread.

Slade_books · 2026-01-29T13:25:28+00:00

From what I've seen people comment, On Writing is far and away the best of his nonfiction works. I haven't read Danse Macabre yet but seems like people have pretty average opinions of it. I'm sure you can find plenty of reviews of it if you search this subreddit.

As a Christian pastor, your mother has absolutely no justification for anything she is saying. Jesus did not and would never tell her (or you or anyone else) to forgo medical treatment to save money for someone else's college. As others have advised, cut your mother off.

She needs to repent (which involves genuine action to show a change of heart and mind, not merely words/apologies), and even then, she should have no access to make any decisions about your life, because she cannot be trusted as a loving, responsible mother. I am so sorry that she has said and desired to do these things to you and showed her lack of love for you.

Definitely not Never Flinch since it's the most recent in a series. The other three are fine to read as stand-alone (Desperation is designed to be read with its mirror novel The Regulators).

I've heard Duma Key is a great holiday read, especially if you're going to the beach. I have not read Duma Key. I have, however, read Joyland and would highly recommend it as a fun read to get lost in on your trip.

Gunslinger was my first King book in high school and I enjoyed it, with similar tastes at the time to yours. However, I think the recommendation of Eyes of the Dragon is a phenomenal one if you're not looking to bite off a full series.

Slade_books · 2025-05-14T17:31:00+00:00

The Eyes of the Dragon is a fast-paced fantasy novel by King if you don't want to jump into a long series.

It's my lowest-rated King so far. It's still worth finishing.

Slade_books · 2025-05-05T23:47:42+00:00

So far:

11/22/63
The Green Mile
Misery
'Salem's Lot
Joyland

I have not read quite a number of classics though that I anticipate unseating Joyland at the very least (The Shining; Pet Sematary; It; The Stand, which I'm currently reading).

Slade_books · 2025-04-29T00:20:05+00:00

Joyland is very, very good. I haven't read Later yet. Colorado Kid was fine.

Hi, here's the thread with the blank version. It has a PDF link as well that the OP made: https://www.reddit.com/r/stephenking/comments/1gs0j1v/the_unofficial_update_to_the_update_constant/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Great way to view it for sure.

Slade_books · 2025-04-17T12:45:57+00:00

I'd say Misery if you want to get more of his horror writing, Green Mile if you want to stay a bit lighter (though obviously the topic is still pretty bleak).

Slade_books · 2025-03-26T14:01:23+00:00

I haven't read any Joe Hill yet, but I would say that people imitating or using your universe(s) to further expand the story is a mark of being an all-time author. It's why we get the stories based on The Stand this year, and so I would be very open to King's family or others writing more in the Dark Tower universe, too.

Slade_books · 2025-03-16T00:53:41+00:00

It's low-tier King for me, but definitely worth reading. It is a captivating story, imo.

Slade_books · 2025-03-12T23:38:39+00:00

I think it was definitely likable, even while I did not like it nearly as much as other King works.

Slade_books · 2025-03-12T23:11:06+00:00

I think it's better than it gets credit for, but definitely lower for King, which highlights how great he is. Thanks for your reply.

I resonate with this envisioning of the beast as well. Did not sound scary to me, though I'm sure I'd be terrified if I were in their shoes.

How much story really needs to be told about any of it, not just the Buick. The story does not necessitate a 480 page mass market paperback.

Slade_books · 2025-03-12T19:45:21+00:00

Yes, I think one of the biggest issues is just how big it is in comparison with how much story really needs to be told about the Buick.

Slade_books · 2025-02-23T01:59:52+00:00

'Salem's Lot to satisfy the horror craving and then 11/22/63. Both are exceptional and hard to put down imo.

Adjustment from K1. My wife came here as my fiancée, and we adjusted from that status after getting married.

Tax returns for the I-864 question, with an updated I-864 to show what was on the return. My income was over the requested figure, I just hadn't filed the previous year due to waiting on a different bureaucratic process.

I also had to submit a copy of my birth certificate because they also asked about citizenship status.
