Today I started The Body — the second novella in this collection to be made into an excellent movie, Stand By Me. (The Apt Pupil movie was just okay.) There‘s one of adult Gordie‘s short stories inserted into the story so far, and I didn‘t remember that at all. Not sure of the necessity of it. #audiowalk

Nobody does psychology better than King who keeps you on the edge of your seat as you wander with a missing little girl in a forest. She finds a way to believe she‘ll survive, battling her own psyche in the process. In a new twist, King works to charm the reader with this sweet little girl who loves baseball.

Whoa! I completely forgot that, in Apt Pupil, we learn about Todd‘s nature almost immediately instead of having a slow buildup. #audiowalk

Reggie Omg, Apt Pupil absolutely freaked me out when I read it. Like I almost feel bad for the old Nazi. (Almost but not at all) And his parents have no clue, no clue. 3d
KathyWheeler @Reggie I still remember how I felt when I first read Apt Pupil — after all those years too! I read it when Different Seasons first came out. Our reactions are similar. 3d

Duma Key: A Novel | Stephen King

The second of 2 redeeming things from some social plans that my bus screwed the pooch on tonight…

That makes 4 SK books scored at a discount for the journey I‘ll be taking myself on through some reads of my dad‘s favorite author in his honor and eventually in his memory.

I‘m not sure if I‘ll be able to purchase any more that are on the list until next month, but now I just want to keep going on this mission!!

AmyG I enjoyed this one. 7d

AmyG Enjoy. I love the main story so much. I hope you do, too. 1w

This is in my top ten this year. The whole book is told by Dolores Claiborne who is telling her story to the cops because she is under suspicion of killing her longtime boss, Vera Donovan, who was found dead after falling down the stairs. Her story doesn‘t start there. It‘s starts 30 years ago when she killed her husband, Joe. It‘s a book about a mother‘s love. What you do when one person is poisoning everyone. The lengths we go through. Pick!

Mirazzles I loved this one! One of my absolute favourites of King‘s! 2w
AmyG Yes, a favorite. 2w
KT1432 Omg STACKED!! Hadn‘t ever heard of this one! 2w

MidnightBookGirl I love this book, King absolutely nails the voice. 2w
Reggie @MidnightBookGirl totally agree. Never once did I think about the man who wrote her. I believed I was listening to this woman from an island off of Maine talking about her hardscrabble life. @Mirazzles @AmyG @KT1432 1w
vivastory This is not related to DC, which I have yet to read but I recall loving the adaptation; but I just finished Offspring, the sequel to Off Season by Ketchum. Have you read it? Apparently this is a trilogy. I read book 1 a few months ago and I actually slightly like the sequel a bit more. Curious about your thoughts, if you've read it! 4d
TrishB This is a great read. One day I will re-read everything. 15h
Reggie @TrishB I‘m at the age where I‘m questioning if I‘ve even read some of the books or am I just remembering the movie, like The Dead Zone. 4h

Today I went to eat at our deli at work. While I was paying, the worker, who is this really nice, young man, 22 at the most, saw my book and says-Stephen King, I‘ve heard he‘s good. But he says Stephen like it‘s spelled Steffin. Steffin King. And I didn‘t have the heart to correct him. But I am gonna buy him a book of his short stories.

Dilara Ha. The reverse happened to me: I said “Steeven“ King, and the person corrected me because “actually, it's spelled with a 'PH', so it's 'Steffen'“ 😚 2w
TEArificbooks It‘s confusing because of the name Stephanie has more of a “ff” pronunciation. English is hard even for English speakers 2w

vivastory Lolol. “More Steve and less Stephanie“ 2w
Reggie @Dilara @TEArificbooks @Jas16 I had this friend from Mexico who made me jealous because he said their spelling bees are easier because words are spelled the way they sound. And I thought back to the first time I came up against the words knowledge and comfortable. Curse you English!!! lol 2w
Reggie @vivastory can we just raise a glass to Showgirls? I love that movie. 2w
Reggie @AnnCrystal @Suet624 @Doll8455 thanks! It‘s gonna be Nightmares and Dreamscapes and I‘m just gonna tab my favorites for him. It was the book that really got me into short horror stories. 2w
AnnCrystal @Reggie 🆒👏🏼😎👍🏼📚💫. 2w
vivastory I meant to ask, which collection? I vote Night Shift 2w
Reggie @vivastory Nightmares and Dreamscapes. It was my first introduction into short horror fiction. 1w
