Salem's Lot

The Shining

The Stand: I especially liked the longer version published about 5 yrs ago. This included scenes cut from the original due to the fact King was not a "big" as he is now. The part where Trash meets the man in black has some additional scenes that are very dark. Plus, he has a character with my name: "Nadine, Nadine, I love to love Nadine." This was the first time I had come across a fictional character with my name

It

Desperation

Bag of Bones

I did not like Dreamcatcher, Insomnia or Pet Semitary. My child was the age of the little boy in Pet Semitary when I read it, and it upset me so badly I almost couldn't make myself finish the book.

Actually...I mentioned it (Second post in this thread)...It was a bit too much like Christine...King said that he was beginning to "rip off" himself, can you blame him? I think he 's done pretty much everything...Must be damned near impossible to squeeze anything completely new out of one brain, after all that has already come from it

I mentioned Insomnia, too...It was a bit slower than some of his other works, and pretty long..But...Like his others, still pretty kickass
As for how he comes up with his stories...He says that all of his stories come from his fears and his nightmares...He often wakes up from a nightmare, in the middle of the night, and writes down the details on a pad of paper that he keeps beside his bed for that purpose, just so that he won't forget anything in the morning...He is afraid of rats and flying (he was considering a story that involved a doomed flight, the plane is on the verge of crashing, and killer rats come up from the cargo bay...But, that was before he was nearly killed by that idiot in the van)...He ALWAYS puts in 2 threats, think about it sometime, in every story...The Shining had the obvious, but they also had to deal with the boiler about to blow...Cujo, rabid dog, but the boy also was about to die from asphyxiation, due to asthma, the heat, no way to roll down a window..ALL of his stories have more than one element...Stephen King, amazing horror writer, Master Of The Macabre, also happens to be terrified of the dark
Pet Sematary came after his son Owen was born, that's when the fear of losing a child, and trying to deal with such a loss, came to him
Maximum Overdrive was attribituted to the computer age, his fear that they may make humans obsolete, and his paranoia that they may actually gain some type of "intelligence" of their own
the list goes on forever...All of his nightmares and fears...
