    11-22-63 & New World Order

    Yep, I have read The New World Order. Good book. Well documented. The Unseen Hand is another good book by Ralph Epperson. I even know Ralph. We've spoken on the phone several times. He's a gentleman. His book is well-documented and he backs up everything he says. No, I don't think Stephen King...

    Day of the Triffids---inspiration behind Maximum Overdrive?

    He makes you feel like his characters are your best friends. That's why other writers aren't your favourites anymore.

    Day of the Triffids---inspiration behind Maximum Overdrive?

    No Bounce, No Play: I've been a member of this group for almost ten years...it has just been awhile since I've been active. Thanks for saying hello. Yes, I've read The Langoliers and also own the DVD. It's a great story. Thanks for the compliment on my Avatar. I loved The Bill Hodges Trilogy.

    Day of the Triffids---inspiration behind Maximum Overdrive?

    Right now, I'm finishing the last couple chapters of Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham. As I read it, there are some thing that remind me of Maximum Overdrive. It makes me wonder if Stephen King drew some inspiration from this novel when he adapted Trucks into the classic 80's horror romp...

    Dark Tower allusions in CELL (WARNING! Tons of spoilers)

    My theory of Dark Tower connections (or allusions) in CELL: The Pulse, which caused the cell phones to erase people's minds, was likely caused by one of the Beams collapsing. Dark Tower fans will get the reference. The Raggedy Man is an allusion to The Crimson King The phone-crazies, whose...

    The "Kingdom" --- fan related pictures related to Kingverse

    Hi All. I suppose this one would be mainly directly to "Miss Mod" (Not sure how she feels about her real name being said in the message board).... Remember that Dark Tower themed "Kingdom" project where Steve asked fans to submit pictures they've taken that would relate to the Dark Tower...

    Just finished End of Watch---it's more than "fiction"

    Hello, So, it was more than an engaging, suspenseful story. Mr. King, whether intentionally or not, gave his readers a lot of life tips. ~David

    Clip from the movie CELL

    In the book, the scene takes place on the street. In the upcoming movie, the scene takes place in an airport terminal. Looks pretty visceral. Let's see if any of you horror movie aficionados can spot the Lloyd Kaufman cameo.... New Clip From Stephen King's 'Cell' Shows the Chaos...

    Theory about Nozz-A-La

    Just a theory----remember how in the SK universe, King's fictional soft drink was named Nozz-A-La or else nicknamed "Nozzie," as in, "Sure, I'll go for a Nozzie"? It's most likely a clever play on phonetics to resemble the sound of the word "Nausea." We all know about how soft drinks like Coke...

    Hi All, It's Been Awhile...

    Yo Everbody, I haven't participated in the message board for awhile now. Just thought I'd pop in and say hi, hopefully get back to participating more in the threads. Some of you are already FB friends with me. End of Watch...half finished the book and so far, it is totally absorbing and almost...
