Welcome. :) Unfortunately, I will not be able to discuss tonight as I have family over for a visit. Wanted to pop in and create this thread, though. Feel free to discuss! I will post my thoughts when I can.

Welcome. Tonight we will discuss “The Night Flier,” a sort of companion piece to the next story in the collection, “Popsy.” This was my first time reading this story. It was cool seeing Richard Dees again, and his character (the way he thinks of his readers) made me chuckle a couple of times...

Hi, all! Tonight we discuss the 1970s short story, “Suffer the Little Children,” which was going to be in Night Shift but was dropped for “Gray Matter” (an inferior story, IMO). I like this one. Hell, I love it. I think. It’s dark as hell, and has no redeeming value, but that’s why I’m such a...

According to his official Twitter account, Mr Ketchum passed away this morning after a long battle with cancer. He was 71.

Welcome Back! Let the discussion begin. :)

Hello and welcome to the first group read discussion! I am excited. :) Tonight’s discussion is of “Dolan’s Cadillac,” the first story from 1993’s Nightmares and Dreamscapes. In the book’s notes, King mentions this story was very hard for him to write and he didn’t like it at all upon...

was going to wait till after Christmas to post this thread, but I’m too excited. :) As was discussed in the other thread, I am going to try reviving the group read discussions. I never actually moderated the old reads so this will be learning experience, for me. Should be fun... :) I picked...

Doc Creed’s recent quizzes have proven we apparently need to reread Sai King’s books. :biggrin2: Back in the day we did group reads, and I miss them so much. If anyone else is interested in reviving them, please let me know! They were fun back in the day.

Chester Bennington, lead vocalist of Linkin Park, committed suicide by hanging and was found this morning--multiple sources confirming. LP has always been one of my favorite bands. I grew up listening to them. :( This is heartbreaking.

Hi, all. As some may have noticed, I've not been as active here as I used to be. There are a few reasons for that, but a big one is I've been writing--a lot. My life is in a state of great flux. I'm not working; I am transferring to a big university in the spring. I'm broke, desperate, and...

Is anyone else participating in NaNoWriMo this year? I am, and I'm excited! The goal is 50,000 words in one month. I typically average around 3,000 words a day so here's to hoping I can chug along with no issues. My story synopsis: Temporary story cover:

Actor Anton Yelchin of 'Star Trek' killed: report| Reuters Wasn't he going to be in an upcoming King movie? Can't remember which one. Sad news. :(

Spin-off of Full House- now on Netflix! Finished the entire first season in one day. oops

Loved it. Super intense and involving from the start. The Bronze Heart speech gave me chills. Lots was different from the novel and I'm A-okay with that-- it keeps Constant Readers like me guessing!

just got word Harper Lee has died. One of my favorite authors.

I'm curious.... What are YOUR favorite books from this year? They don't have to be titles released in 2015; they can be old as dirt, but maybe you just got around to them in the last twelve months. I'll probably come back to this list because I know I'll forget some (and I'm not done with my...

I am rereading King's works in chronological order. Just started Firestarter tonight. I've mentioned several times that this is one of my least favorite King novels but it's really working for me this time. I feel like I'm able to actually involve myself in the story, unlike in previous...

first off, I enjoyed this story a lot... That ending-- yikes! But, like with "The Dune", I have a question I'm hoping someone can help clear up...
