I think that a possibility, especially since you mention it. Trust me, and lots of SKMBers, to in this case persist against your bias.
I loved that book, as well as Black House.
Did you read Black House? That's a collaboration by the same two writers as well.
No, after I couldn't finish or get into Talisman, I kinda "gave up".... I know I need to be more open-minded!
Oh, I get it. I misread and thought you were saying that The Talisman was the only book you had not read by SK; but I see that it is the only one you have started and not finished. Sorry about that.
Giving some love to the aliens! Tommyknockers it is.
Needful Things for me, didn't really like Tommyknockers, took me at least three times to get it read. I enjoyed Dreamcatcher but for me Needful Things showed perfectly the lengths people will go to to get their hands on the things they 'think' they need.
3 of my least favorite, so 'Needful Things' wins by default.
This happened to me too. I could feel when it wasn't Steve (at least I think that's what bothered me about it) because when Steve writes there's a different flow than the other author. I'm just so used to Steve, (I've been reading him for 33 years) I notice immediately when something is off.
Oh I forgot, Needful Things. The story and the movie was good. I loved the cover on the original book I purchased. Made me want to climb into the drawing and take a peek inside the shop window.
Peter Straub is a great author too, though! Might I recommend Ghost Story or If You Could See Me Now?
I think this thread would get more viewers if the title were changed from Tommy to Knockers.
Had to go with Needful Things, the last Castle Rock story (so far). Knockers ain't bad, just got kinda too far-out what with the flying pop machine and all. Didn't much care for Dreamcatcher, say sorry.
Boys...was there a movie made out of Ghost Story? One with Fred Astaire? Oh I hope it's the same one. I would read that story on paperback.
Yessum. I've never seen the film but have heard they had to leave a lot out due to time constraints/the novel being so complex in structure. It's probably in the top ten scariest books I've ever read! Highly recommended! If you like 'Salem's Lot by Sai King I think you'll enjoy Ghost Story-- the two are very similar, IMO.
