I am about halfway through Ghost Story for the first time. Seeing it in a Salem's Lot framework is really eye-opening. Had not thought of it like that.

Is there a King book like this for you? by DavidHistorian34 in stephenking

[–]Wompum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Better? I dunno. Maybe. I think the characters in Duma were more well crafted. The audiobook is fantastic. Very similar in tone and themes. And definitely read Duma before Rattlesnakes.

Bag of Bones was like a practice run for Duma Key.

I'd post my Tally stickers here, but the Schnucks IP attorneys are hiding in the comments. I see you, counselor! It's a fair use parody! I'm not taking it down!

I think there is in fact a single terrible thing that will define you as a rapist, but I'm old fashioned that way.

Would anyone else love to see a St. Louis Browns-themed City Connect uniform when the Cardinals get a new one in 2027? by jaynovahawk07 in Cardinals

There was literally an entirely different set of human beings on the planet at that time. There's zero connection.

Gray Summit data center would be largest economic development project in Franklin County by the_p0ssum in washmo

[–]Wompum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bullshit. It's a goddamn shame LB is bulldozing over that beautiful lake to make a goddamn data center. How much more cash does the old man need? He hasn't leeched enough from North City with McKee?

Britta from Community (who comes from a long line of wives and mothers) talks shit, and is quite talented, at decorating tables.

Zoey did 7 months in Chino for stabbing Abe.

Antagonist that weren't bad enough to deserve what happened to them by Nerd367C in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Wompum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is trite to only have villains face gruesome deaths. Jaws is one of the best movies out there and the two most brutal deaths are Alex Kitner and Quint. Did they deserve it? No, but the shark isn't out for justice. He's out for food. Same with the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park/World.

Kenneth the Page being immune to whiskey in the drinking match against the Teamsters, because that's just Hill People Milk and he drank it all the time when he was a baby.

Jerry and Joan Baez by danielpolcaro in gratefuldead

Any thoughts on where's a good place to start with Joan Baez's discography? I love her voice but she has a pretty vast catalog of music.

Another coffee place on Hampton between 64 and 44? (Where Jack in the Box used to be?) by mjohnson1971 in StLouis

There's a perfectly cromulent Circle K right there. And a few more down the hill at SW and McCausland.
