I will put this one on "Watch Thread" and try to be here next Friday - my body is finally getting used to all this working out - for about one hour every afternoon once I am done work for the day.
Next Friday I will go home, have a hot bath and try to stay alert and awake until 8:30 p.m.
TONIGHT..
Look forward to chatting with you in The Nightmares and Dreamscapes Section. @9:30 EST, 8:30 Central

Before I say anything about this story - did you know Stephen King reads this story in the audiobook collection?
Nope...I did not, but now I want to hear it 8).Before I say anything about this story - did you know Stephen King reads this story in the audiobook collection?
First words I thought when I finished this story, "Wow! He is a terrific storyteller...breathing life into dust." So what did you think?
Before I say anything else-I REALLY liked the opening paragraph. Very descriptive!

Not quite as good as some other stories in the collection, but overall not too bad! (Especially weird at the end with the woman leering at them and pulling up her dress to expose herself - now what was THAT all about?)
Sorry - just had to throw in one more image - I think I am quite visual and like to picture things about a story
He paints the scene so well. We are looking at late fall early winter.
It really came together for me when I read the notes at the end. I was sensing some familiarity but couldn't place it. Next time I will reread Needful Things and then read this again. I think that would've helped because it has been sooooo long since I read NT!
I think SK's descriptions were the best part of the story!

I also thought it strange about the poor woman giving birth to a monster that died only six hours after its birth. Poor Cora
It has been said that Stephen King wrote another story later on about a weird house called Rose Red - does anyone see any similarity here between this one and Rose Red? (I have not read Rose Red yet).
