I've been enthralled with the stories by the master of the macabre for virtually all of my reading life. There are sixteen SK hardcover novels within arms reach right now, mixed in with some Dan Brown, Clive Barker, and Micheal Crichton. 'Bag of Bones' is resting on my night stand (Mike has just awakened from his bizarre dream at Sara Laughs and discovered he's drug his old Selectric from Jo's studio).
My son, a sophomore at the University of Utah, has also become a big fan. Thankfully I've got all these novels I can give to him.
I'm looking forward to participating in these forums.

Welcome - Bag of Bones was a great book - much better than the TV adaptation.

Stephen King's stories, with their intricate interactions between the world we see and the one that remains hidden just beyond sight, can be difficult enough to translate into a full-length movie, much more so to adapt for television. I've always made it a point to read a novel by any author before watching the screen version.

True - I loved the book and the TV adaptation was just so-so - even though I admire Pierce Brosnan, I though he was miscast in the main role.

What you say is well put - and I did read Bag of Bones first. Hope you like the SKMB - come back and post some more! :monkey::encouragement:
