I found the quote: page 400 Hardcover Edition (first Edgar speaking then Wireman at the hospital the night Elizabeth died.) I tapped CHILD PRODIGY "Look, they even had the right fancy term for it. Do you suppose if she'd been poor and black, they would have called her PICKININNY FREAK and...

Having read all of the crisism of the '60s and about all of those "dangerous toys" and lack of safety equipment, it make one wonder, how did we ever survive it?

You know they still say that if you remember Woodstock - you weren't there.

Don't kill the poster, but I read Pearl a long time ago and didn't like it much. I have never read another T King book. At that time I wondered if she would have ever been published if she wasn't related to the BIG SK. I am sure that her books didn't go into the slush pile of un-requested...

I don't know why but I pictured Rose the Hat as beautiful coffee skinned black model. High cheekbones and a smooth sexy way of walking. AKA Trya Banks or Nhenna Agba. An all knowing oracle of grace and fully away of her effect on others. She could walk into a room and no one else would matter...

I am new to this thread and late in my posting. I was 13 and in Junior High School. We got out of school at about 2PM EST and I walked to my sister's apartment. She was getting married on December 7, (Pearl Harbor Anniversary) and expecting a delivery. She asked me to wait for it. After the...

Sorry to double post but... I have a pesky thought that in some novel or short story there is mention of Sam and Naomi moving to Proverbia or some other city in Iowa but there is also the mention of a shop - not called Needful Things - but with a name equally odd which was getting ready to open...

I never pictured Ed Harris as Alan Pangborn. For some reason I always pictured the police uniforms of Castle Rock as dark khaki pants with a lighter khaki shirt. I also pictured the hats as Stetsons or maybe the kind of hats that Park Rangers wear. I also pictured Pangborn as a sort of Chris...

I like to vacuum them up. I do the same with bees and any other critter that invades my house. The one exception is Lady Bugs. Those I pick up and put back out side. But if you want scary in a spider - one night my son came home from a date very late, like 3AM. He woke me up to tell me that...

My son was quite young when he saw this movie. It scared him badly. I had told him about "The Monkey's Paw" and he was so afraid (he was kiddie overweight at time and it has since gone away at the gym) that he wouldn't let anyone in the house say, "Thinner". Thankfully it didn't scar him for...

I I feel the same. I loved the book and was convinced by a secretary in my tax office to go see the movie. Too much was changed. Too many characters revised. For example, why did Polly change from running sewing shop to a diner?

I felt that all of the stories were connected although it took me a couple of reads to get that. I like this book a lot being a child of the 1960s. The biggest confusion for me was the college part. I thought the guy was Bobby all grown up. That is until I got over that and realized that the...

Hey everyone - it's election year again. Too bad we can't all see the future like Johnny Smith.

Like the rest of you, I also look at the evergreen bushes planted along side the library in the town where I grew up. Is it some kind of law that every library has to have evergreens planted at the foundation? I did see a reference to The Library Policeman in The Dark Tower. Chow d dow. It took...

I seem to remember that in Cujo he mentions that children have a broader vision because the haven't discovered the pills and sedatives that adults have. They don't tamp down their imagination or forget what adults sometimes forget.

I couldn't believe this when I found it. By Burt Bacharach? Really!!!! Burt Bacharach – The Blob Lyrics Beware of the blob, it creeps And leaps and glides and slides Across the floor Right through the door And all around the wall A splotch, a blotch Be careful of the blob.

I thought The Sun Dog was the best of the four stories in Four Past Midnight. My second would be The Library Policeman. The only two not made into movies. Of course I remember the Polaroid as I am of that age. I can't remember how many times I had to type "The quick brown fox jumped over the...

Now I have another question. I see that many of the heroes in the SK novels are young boys (sometimes girls) between the age of eleven and thirteen (give or take a year or two). I can't list them all but Salem's 'Lot comes to mind as well as IT, Desperation, The Dark Tower Series, the short...

LOL Maybe I should have said "spider phobia"

When I read the Dark Half, I was (I don't know the right word maybe surprised and pleased) a word that means a combination of both? I couldn't believe it when I turned one page to find Mr. King comparing two characters who showed up at the door to Tad Beuamont's house looking like H&R Block...
