    US and UK covers

    The UK edition has a moth graphic at the start of each chapter and moths on a dark blue background inside the front and back covers. It's very nicely done. As far as the overall design goes, I have to say the UK book is much more pleasing to me than the one we have here in the US. Mine has the...

    Sleeping Beauties Book Tour

    What was the procedure for claiming the book at the end of the Sleeping Beauties event in Toronto? All the book events like this that I have attended involved wristbands or hand stamps etc... and one had to either show the stamp or surrender the waistband on the way out in exchange for a book...

    HC Jacket Art Variations

    During all my searching around on the web the past few weeks, I found a copy of the book with the silver lettering and blue light from a bookseller online, so I bought it. Here is a picture. I wasn't sure this really existed, but now I have one in my hand so I know it does. My guess is that...

    HC Jacket Art Variations

    Thanks for your input on this question! I have a copy with red lettering and blue light coming under the door that I bought new, and I never left it in the sun. I also have a normal copy with red lettering and green light. A friend has a copy with silver lettering and blue light... I got a...

    HC Jacket Art Variations

    Does anyone know anything about the different jackets this book has in hard cover? There are different colors of the light coming from under the door (green/blue) and different lettering (red/gold). I remember this being discussed on the old board but I can't recall the details, and can't...

    Stephen King References In Popular Culture

    Hysterical, right? I love the movie Misery, but every time I see it my mind always goes back to the French and Saunders spoof and I laugh in spite of the seriousness of what Kathy Bates and James Caan are doing!

    i BEG you to watch this....

    I love how his name, Henri, is a play on ennui. This video was the winner of a cat video festival that was held at a museum in Minnesota (I think) several years ago. They expected a few thousand people to attend and ended up with something like 10,000. Oh the hours I have spent (not wasted...

    Stephen King References In Popular Culture

    From the other side of the pond: Kate Bush wrote a song called Get Out of My House which was on her album The Dreaming (1982). She said it was inspired by the novel The Shining. French and Saunders (Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders) did a pretty hilarious spoof of Misery on one of their...

    The Returned

    If you find it there, give it a try. I think you might like it. It's $2 per episode on Amazon, in case you can't find it on Hulu. Some people I have told about it won't watch it when they find out it's subtitled, which is too bad. It's not really your typical zombie show.

    The Returned

    This is the best thing I have seen in a long time. I think about the story all the time, even dream about it. I started watching it on Amazon a few weeks ago, taking the 8 episodes of the first season slowly, one at a time, with several days off in between to make them last. The second season...

    Latest Movie That You Watched!

    I just watched A History of Violence, a movie I have been meaning to get to for quite some time. What a wonderfully disturbing experience. I'm really a little freaked out right now, in a good way. Viggo Mortensen is one talented and fearless actor. I never gave much thought to who would be...

    The Troop

    I was given an ARC of this book a few months ago. Once I started reading it I pretty much kept going for the whole day until I finished it. I suppose that means I liked it, and I did. I didn't know SK has praised it, but can see why he has. In the acknowledgements section the author thanks SK...

    Anyone watch the Grammys?

    She sort of sounded like boss hog too. The woman can't sing live.

    Anyone watch the Grammys?

    I didn't watch, but saw this pic of Stevie Nicks from the red carpet and she looks fab! Not bad for a 65 year old rock and roll legend!

    Dental Phobia

    Dentistry has come a long way since I first started going in the late 60's. The technology has improved to the point where the pain is nothing much to worry about . I just had an implant last November, and the day before yesterday I went for part two of the procedure to have the implant...
