Kingcast #2.9 went up yesterday -- a solo show this time, with some thoughts inspired by this here message board on errors in the books and on how and why SK chooses his subjects. You can find the episode here: Episode 2.9: Stephen King and the error-prone ourobouros. And if anyone uses...

I'll start with one: I recently joined a bunch of SK-related FB groups. And honest to Gan, at least once EVERY FREAKING DAY somebody posts the Youtube video of the women pretending to be Annie Wilkes in a bookstore. EVERY. Freaking. DAY, at least once.

Am I the only person here who sees the three-letter acronym for Under the Dome and thinks of a urinary tract infection?

I'm rereading "IT", which I do distressingly frequently, and just got to p. 510 in my well-worn paperback. Let me type this out: "Now, standing on in the fading drizzle in front of a Trustworthy Hardware Store that had been a pawnshop in 1958 (Frati Brothers, Ben recalled, the double windows...

In my other (non-SK) life, I do work in the PR and social media field. And having watched a bunfight here on the message board, I wanted to deliver a boring lecture on communicating online. So here goes: When we speak to each other in person, we get the words, but we get inflection (WHAT is...
