There are many of us, Constant Readers especially, who believe Stephen King should be nominated for a Noble Prize in Literature. Purists may not agree with me, but I find there are solid reasons to consider Stephen King for such a prize. If we forgo the belief that genre writers are never...

Just when we thought we were out of the woods, tropical storm Dorian is heading our way. Dorian, as in The Picture of Dorian Gray. Positive vibes and thoughts, please.

Constant Readers, if you thought Hurricane Maria was catastrophic for PR, we are currently experiencing a storm unprecedented in the history of the island. Acts of corruption provoked by the current governor and members of his staff have moved different and diverse representatives of the masses...

Now that we know The Dark Tower movie can be made, is there any chance it will be made again? I mean, a better, more complete version? Say, with Peter Jackson directing it as a trilogy. Not an easy task, but if anyone can do it, Peter Jackson can.

The burden of winter accosts every living thing even the trees Humboldt Park, Chicago

I believe this has been discussed before but don't remember when. Leafing through a copy of The Dead Zone, it occurred to me we might be living in the age of Greg Stillson. The current malaise in the nation's capital, racial intolerance, bigoted vigilantes, irresponsible sword rattling by world...

Not as ruler of empires or cosmic fool, As earth shaker or bridge builder, As liberator who rides on a beam Or genteel gentleman gunslinger, Not even as destroyer and creator Of imagined dystopias … Not as any of these but more As a humble builder of exquisite worlds, As titan of the printed...

In the event my wife kicks me out, I'm constructing a man cave in the basement of our house. This way I'll have a place to store my Stephen King library, as well as stay out of the rain.

I've seen several lists with the above title. Always one or several of my favorites are not on the list. So here is my list, agree or not. 1. Heartbreak Hotel, Elvis (Remember, before Elvis, there was nothing.) 2. Eleanor Rigby, The Beatles (Amazing, the diverse elements it has.) 3...

Just finished this. Enjoy

The new message board format has left me reeling. My fiction has suddenly turned strange, weird ... horrific. Home | Prufrock21

Whose idea was it to change the SKMB format? I don't like it. Hurricane season in the tropics is about to begin again, and now I have to deal with a new board format? It's not fair, I tell you. :dizzy:

I haven't gotten around to hanging the framed picture of my avatar yet. In the meantime, Mr. King is helping me out provisionally. I agree it's not something you would see at the Metropolitan, but it's functional.

My poems are up @ Red River Review, May 2018 issue, poems #22 and 23. Red River Review - A Fully Electronic Literary Journal

New cover on my Kindle book. The image I bought at iStock, and the letting design I did myself. If interested I can refer you to the Amazon page. Thanks for looking.

Two of my poems will appear in the April issue of Red River Review: "The Moors" and "Twisters in Sequence." This doesn't happen often, so, yes, champagne is in order.

I'm working on a new blog where my writing appears. Thanks for looking, and I welcome comments and suggestions. inflation981.wixsite.com/prufrock21 Note: Internet service is almost back to normal, so I'll post a rundown with reference to Hurricane Maria as soon as I can. Please be patient...

The storm started around two in the morning. The hurricane winds picked up later, and the meteorologists said they would last the whole day, which they did. I watched from the living room window (all the while fearing the glass would break), and witnessed the strangest sight. I saw my...

Hurricane Irma is heading our way with winds that have reached 185mph. The potential for unprecedented devastation is great. If you have positive vibes, we can certainly use them.
