What topic would u like to see king do more of. I would like to see at least 1 more on the topic of baseball. I am an indians fan so I'm being 100% bias here but right now they just won 21 in a row win streak breaking the American league record. Would be cool to do a novella or short story on that. It's getting it's due coverage but don't think the media is really getting across what's being witnessed. 21 in a row is a incredible feet. Much harder than winning 21 in a row in football. If u win 100 games in baseball u pretty much guaranteed to win division but that means u still lost over 60 games. And on any given day the best team in bb can lose to the worst team and it's not news. Where in football u take a team that is 15-0 playing a team that is 1-14 would be the biggest upset of the year. Also a side question besides what u would like to see more of is this. The overall record of win streaks is 26. But there was a tie in the middle. Right now the powers of bb r meeting to decide if 26 is still the record. The argument is it should b changed. The definition of a streak is an uninterrupted wins. Well a tie does that. It should be 12-0 win streak, then the tie then a 14 win streak. They ssy it should b a 26 game unbeaten streak but not a win streak bc they didnt win that game, they tied. Wondering your thoughts on that. Hope i was clear.

I wish he would write a book about lesbian nuns impregnated by aliens.........;;D And before the torch wielding villagers rush to my abode, I wish to apologize to any lesbian nuns who have ever been impregnated by an alien that are members here. ;-D

I would like another baseball novel if he felt so inclined. (I was going to say "felt froggy" but didn't want danie to give me more demerits, ;))
Maybe a Field of Dreams meets Bag of Bones.

I just want to be surprised and not disappointed. Now that I think of it, I've never been disappointed by his subject matter or the end result. There are two that I could name that didn't jingle my cowbell, to quote CYB, but I wouldn't say they are awful or badly written. Part of the fun regarding his yet to be published novels (The Outsider) is considering the wide array of possibilities and speculating about them.

Danse Macabre II. There has been a lot of stuff published since then and the tech has changed considerably. I'd like to hear him wax on about all that.
I've mentioned a few times that he should do another autobiography entitled On Reading in which he highlights books that have affected him over the years. It'd make a nice companion, I think. I'd read Danse Macabre II, though.

I'm not one for prequels/sequels, but I would LOVE for SK to build on Joyland and let us know more about Devin, Annie & especially Mike. When Joyland came out I really thought it was going to tie into Doctor Sleep since Mike had "the shine." I was disappointed that it didn't.

Yes!!!!

The scariest stories to me involve regular folks (or St. Bernards) facing horrifying evil. Like they're just going about their routine, and WHAM! life throws some horror into their cogs.

I also enjoy when there are rock-and-a-hard-place choices built in (11/22/63 is the first best example that comes to mind for that).
