Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ll read the next book, but didn‘t love the feeling that this book doesn‘t really stand on its own.

I don't even know how to properly rate Stephen King novels at this point; I have yet to find one that I don't like, so I tend to just compare to other King books I've read. Misery is a classic, and I finally understand why.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Classic

Love that my cup of caffeine is cheering me on as I start this #chunkster

This short comic is Stephen King‘s homage to the pulp horror comics of the 1950s with all their goofy gory gruesomeness. Our guide, the Creep, takes us through five stories of terrible people and their horrible demises.

There were a couple of panels that did make me giggle, but overall the book is pretty meh. The first and last stories are the strongest.

If by some chance you are super into those old horror comics, you‘ll probably like this.

The first novella is a tale of obsession, the kind all pro athletes must have to excel at that level. Of course, it‘s King, so that obsession isn‘t just about being a good catcher.

The second story is even darker, pondering morality and the basis of it. Neither Blockade Billy nor Morality is King‘s greatest work, but they‘re worth the two hours or so I spent with them.
