A related thread here (Haiku of the day) made me think about summarizing Stephen King's books in haiku form, which can be a lot of fun.

I'll start with some of my favourite books (remember that a haiku generally has three lines, consisting of 5, 7, and 5 lines, respectively):

"It":

Monster in Derry
A bunch of losers kill it.
Or so they believe...

"'Salem's Lot":

Vampire comes to Maine
Starts feeding on townspeople.
Resistance fights back.

"11/22/63"
Pantry leads to past.
Teacher will change history.
When he finds the time.

It could be even more fun to have the next person guess what book.. ? Just a thought

Awesome. Totally awesome.

That sounds like Pet Sematary


I knew she was weird
And what's up with her mother?
Should've left early

Very good, blunt

That's got to be Misery.

The nights do get long
And the magic comes and goes
But the boy will live

Tommyknockers? the first line doesn't seem to jive, the last two, do...or too, Lisey's Story?

Rough dog barking hard
pinto car two trapped inside
hot breath on the glass
