You can get the book here: amzn.to/2VKXXU5 btw, it does bleed. All living things bleed. Horrible title. 0/10. Dislike unsub! (sarcasm)

[@tschhatwal595]

Have you heard of I Jason, the novel Stephen King wants to write?

[@jackinthebox1993]

🤔 I was under the assumption that it meant "If It Bleeds" you could POSSIBLY kill it, whatever monsters you're facing

[@Will-nq3fo]

Review the King book "the long walk" it's a short one but I love it. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

[@VoiceNerd]

I came here for Pips

[@turtleanton6539]

@@jackinthebox1993 no if it bleeds it leads

“Also, here’s a cat.” Thank you, I appreciate the cat break

[@thelemmiebee]

As someone who started reading King around 2010, I like his newer stuff a lot more than his “classics”. But I think it’s just a meme at this point; everyone thinks something years ago is so much better than anything new. Which is ridiculous. But nostalgia is a strong drug.

[@benalker3061]

To be fair he wrote most of his classic stuff on some stronger drugs mate.

[@thelemmiebee]

Ben Alker yes, haha yes that’s true

[@johnstevens2972]

Pet sematary is literally perfect.

[@thelemmiebee]

John Stevens Okay well I’ll give you that

[@tyrionlannister7168]

The more you read the more your opinion will change. It, the shining, pet cemetary, the stand are all classics and unsurpassed by anything he's published in the past 20 years

[@edweirdworld1249]

"The Body," from Different Seasons continues to be some of my favorite writings by King.

[@Jay-br9ee]

They made that into a movie Stand by Me one of my favorite movies ever!!

[@Riz_]

I honestly think that Under the dome is very underrated. From all the Stephen King books I have read it's definitely one of my favourites.

[@ashleighbence3911]

You could go into “If It Bleeds” (The short story) without really knowing King if you just want a good plot and don’t care about the characters. However, it’s an entirely different experience if you’ve read the Bill Hodges trilogy and The Outsider just because the character growth adds something to it. I read the Outsider without reading the Bill Hodges trilogy just because I didn’t know it was connected, but after I completed the BH trilogy I went back and read the Outsider and it was a lot better.

[@MagusMarquillin]

I hope someone has made a chart, or I'll just have to read all of King in order.

[@AikiraBeats]

The outsider was the first king book I read and thought it was amazing. From beginning to end it was amazing to see that ending. I think HBO is doing a tv show based on the book

[@mrnukes797]

@@AikiraBeats I started with IT and firestarter. Also The Outsider's entire season is on both Netflix and HBO

[@justjasontm]

This is exactly my scenario. I read a ton of classic King like 10 years ago but got burnt out and stopped for a long time. When I finally got back into him I decided to check out the Outsider. It was great. Then I started the hodges trilogy and am just starting book 3. I'm definitely gonna have to re-read the Outsider after this now that i know where all the references came from

Here's an idea: review Carrie. That way you can see how he began.

[@jakethemuss8081]

Good book 👍🏻

[@MagusMarquillin]

@@jakethemuss8081 Great book, Great faithful movie too.

[@emosongsandreadalongs]

That one's pretty good. My friend and I just recently reviewed it. We're slowly working our way through all of King's fiction. kzbin.info/aero/PLFYvCg_UwaXRvyWnsoPwY96eGkC-R5r4e

[@ivorykitty]

I wanted to be like Carrie when I was a kid (and when I was a teenager) 😬

[@jakethemuss8081]

Magus Marquillin Agree on both. The more recent movie sucked unfortunately.

[@Strongbad251]

11/22/63 and Under the Dome are some of my very favorites. I also love the cover artwork of If it Bleeds

[@CraftyJenn-mt7vd]

My first Stephen king book was Desperation. I’ve loved him ever since. Highly recommend 11/22/63. Wonderful book.

[@rayedjualidan1504]

I am nearly 40 now and having my yearly dose of Mr. King stories was and hope will keep being a source of joy in my life. I don't know why I liked Rat the most.

[@BirdMorphingOne]

When you were talking, I was getting The Outsider confused with The Outsiders which sent me through a loop.

[@franciscotorresbta]

Yo WTF.

[@nates9029]

Yeah,11/22/63 is one of my favorite books of all time. I don't get people that don't enjoy that book.

[@RottenBen]

"People say Dark Tower is Stephen King's take on the Lord of the Rings, which is also pretty flimsy." Actually, Stephen King was the one to say that. You should check out the Kingslingers Podcast, Daniel. It's two guys going through the Dark Tower series slowly, analyzing the work as they go. One is someone who has read all of King's work, and he's even read the Dark Tower at least four times before this series. The other is completely new to King, and has maybe only read one or two smaller novellas from King. They do a fantastic job of going through the series, and the one who is new to the series (Matt) is very good at seeing comparisons to the Lord of the Rings. To name a few: Farmer Brown is very similar to Tom Bombadil with his placement in the story. The people of River Crossing (village right before the city of Lud) are old people that the Ka-Tet (Fellowship) meet and eat with prior to heading into danger (this was also preceded with Eddie believing that he would find good-people/elves in the city of Lud, but he was looking too far). The only way to beat Blaine the Mono in their riddle-off is to ask things that are riddle-adjacent (dumb Eddie jokes/ "what's in my pocket?"). Let's not forget that a major character falls into a pit under a mountain while saying an iconic line from the series, assumed to be dead, only to come back (as "the White" or being helped by "the Wight") later in the story. Matt has done a fantastic job calling out many similarities that really show that Dark Tower is King's reply to the Lord of the Rings, and I HIGHLY suggest you listen to it. They're currently midway through Wizard & Glass and it's a fantastic relook at one of my favorite series.

[@bibidtz]

my favorite story was the life of Chuck. It made me feel some type of way i can't even describe; i was crying in public (while taking the subway on my way to college). idk, but it's so crazy how a story can make you change ur opinions and perspectives. honestly, i'm so happy that i took that book months ago, def something in me changed. (the funny part ig is that it changed me even though is not an inspirational book)

[@tomasdossantos5082]

Great approach on "iconic stuff". Loved your idea! That's so true: you gotta give stuff time. PS: SK is a master of masters

[@tacoman2147]

Been loving the editing in these past couple vids!

[@jonsey_2730]

Appreciate the rant in the beginning!! Awesome video as always

[@DiegoDiasProductions]

Love this video! and appreciate your rant. Hoping to see more King reviews!

[@suspiriasam5093]

Joyland is one of my very favourites of his works.

[@davidphillips9726]

The Life of Chuck was sooooooo f'n weird, that I couldn't help but like it, but, I did feel like it could've been a whole novel on its own

[@violetquinn3467]

I liked ALL of the stories but my order from favorite first is: 1- The Rat, I love when King writes about writers and writing. 2 - If it Bleeds, I like Holly and the other characters and already knowing them a plus, but also there were some really good lines in there, I thought. 3 - Mr. Harrigan's Phone, Enjoyable characters and an easy read 4 - The Life of Chuck, Interesting and different, but the reverse telling was confusing for me til I got it.

[@kelviannaepperson3677]

When I heard King read an excerpt from The Rat I was hooked and knew I had to get it

[@theflickchick9850]

I’m a character-driven reader too. If something is well-written, but I don’t like the characters, I cannot get through it. I recently read “The Body” for the first time and the character work there was amazing.

[@Carlosshadow5]

Haha, you said “don’t start with King here”. Oops, this was my first read from him. Absolutely loved it!

[@Strongbad251]

Welcome to the King universe.

[@kendellchurch15]

proof that even his comparatively weaker work is really great lol

[@slumpedzen]

It’s 2022… I can relate lol this is my first book from him wanted to see if I made the right decision 😅

[@nrdywrdy]

THANK YOU for shouting out Under the Dome. That book is WAY under appreciated

[@AllenFreemanMediaGuru]

I agree. Lots of great work from SK in last few decades! I recently just read “The Institute” and now reading “Doctor Sleep” and they are great!

[@TheNerdyNarrative]

I joined a readalong with a few other channels reading this (not one I would have normally picked) - so here's what happened: I loved it and now currently working my way through ALL of Stephen King's works, along with as much horror/thriller as I can fit in. I'm glad I jumped into it because I found another genre I liked!

[@goaway375]

I haven’t read any of his books but I’ve seen the movie IT. And now I’m reading If It Bleeds

[@ChadQuick270W]

I concur that some of his best work is within the last ten years: Under The Dome, 11/22/63, The Bill Hodges Trilogy, Revival, and The Outsider are all excellent reads. “Mister Harrigan’s Phone” was actually my favorite story in the book along with “If It Bleeds”.

[@davidphillips9726]

Really crafty way of not giving any spoilers .... also, nice cat LOL

[@evandance3621]

I would recommend starting stephen king with Different Seasons

[@lukaszzylik4437]

Different Seasons is a great starting point. Apt Pupil is still my favorite King Novella. My favorite short story by King is The Finger from Nightmares and Dreamscapes.

[@susansage1876]

Just started Different Seasons, as well as all his novels- thoroughly enjoy them ❤️

[@Oliverius1702]

I constantly hear the SWAT-team from Hidden: Source calling out: *''If it bleeds, we can kill it!''*

[@nosferatum791]

I have "The Outsider" on my shelf. I tried to read it before sleep for like 6 days in a row and I could not get past the initial 25 pages, cause i was falling asleep each time and on the next day I didn't remember what i have read the day before :) Very good review, with a lot of interesting points and thoughts :) I am adding "If it bleeds" to my "Maybe some day" TBR.

[@danijelb.3384]

🤣😭😭🤣 it ain't that bad

[@marigabyteyssier2279]

I have to warn you, the ending is really bad, but besides that its okay

[@nosferatum791]

I think, that i just picked the book in the wrong time, when i had a really busy week and i just couldn't process the beginning while being half asleep :)

[@FanDanGo86]

11.22.63 is probably my favourite stand alone King book. I've read it 5 times now I think.

[@TooBadAboutKenny]

Haven't read this yet. I loved the Mercedes Trilogy and The Outsider, I'll definitely pick this up soon. I appreciate your review - thanks!

[@mrnukes797]

I would like to suggest that you read firestarter or the institute

[@marcusmusings]

I can't wait to read this. I've had it on hold for more than two months now though, so I'm getting anxious

[@lbentforleather9654]

Great video! I absolutely loved every one in this collection

[@roselucyking]

I went out and bought If It Bleeds because of this review. Thanks!

[@Buddanutslol]

completely agree that much of his modern work will be revered in the years to come. Revival is almost his best, and Duma Key is my personal favorite.

[@creaturesbookreviews3074]

Duma Key is also my favorite King novel.

[@presillahinojo8663]

I’m thankful you finally reviewed this book. I also share your passion for Stephen King !

[@iraklisuladze1185]

Thanks for the review. I haven't read this one yet, but I can say that I've read maybe 90%+ of his works, and also officially translated some of them (IT, Pet Semetary)... But, talking about the "old King", theres not denial that he is struggling with today's tendencies, but still he's got great books in last decade. Especially the short stories in "Bazarre" collection

[@rafalmeidas]

I thought while reading Mr. Harrigan's phone and Rat I was picturing it becoming a movie or something for TV and somehow I think those are the ones actually being worked for film. Which is very cool.

[@ivorykitty]

I love Stephen King of the 80's as much as the 2010's - 2020's ❤️

[@TheSoly78]

Wooo new video love your work

[@anthonytalksmovies]

Have you read Revival? That’s one of my all time favorites from King. I don’t think it’s for everyone but it has stuck with me

[@drdictionarymusic9468]

I agree with your little rant. It's an easy trap to fall into and difficult to escape the allure of nostalgia. Part of the problem of us making idolised/idealized connections to our favourite artists/works/times.

[@toasted_.coconut]

"Life of Chuck" was my very favorite but you're right about the lack of character. I'm only starting into Kings books.

[@theoretic7856]

I think people compare the dark tower to LOTR because King made the comparison himself it's his version of a epic fellowship meant to be his magnum opus

[@davidphillips9726]

It's really cool for old ass me to see the younger generations not only getting into King, but, deep diving and analyzing them like I like to do. You and Dave Moussen are my favorites right now

[@thejustinwestra]

I completely agree with you that some of King’s more recent books will be considered his best work eventually. I’ve been trying to read more King lately and I really loved The Institute (2019). That’s not to say that his old work will no longer be considered as good anymore, I recently read Pet Sematary (1983), and it holds up really well.

[@TheCodeXCantina]

I wouldn’t say the Dark Tower take on LoTR is flimsy. There are a lot of plays between the two in terms of plot and themes when you look more into it.

[@nickvareymusic]

Agree with you regarding comparisons, but Under the Dome was a draaaaaaag. Man oh man. I nearly put it down multiple times.

[@dana8503]

What was the point of the ghost? WHAT WAS THE POINT!! It led nowhere.

[@jeanfish7]

Love King novellas, but other than the Tower series, Insomnia was my favorite

[@hedcas]

The Wind Through the Keyhole is absolutely one of my favs

[@Leaps-xz3hg]

Yes, I've been waiting for this.

[@patriciasnider5573]

I'm so happy you obviously love Under the Dome as much as me. I've loved King for many years!! The Stand will always be my favorite of his. I'm not a huge fan of Different Seasons, but I'll always want to read something by Stephen King!!

[@nduduzoblose4355]

I love how Both you and Tim (Hello Future Me) have adorable cats. My two favorite booktube people love cats. To quote Tim, "Hail lord Mishka"

[@chrisgladfelter]

"The Life of Chuck" reminds me more of King's story "Fair Extension" in "Full Dark, No Stars." I think his best spin on "The Monkey's Paw" has got to be "Pet Sematary," hands down.

[@kennietrahan1337]

I haven’t read much of Stephen King, but I couldn’t stop listening to Under the Dome

[@deannahampton8906]

You nailed it! I'm not tech savvy at all. I loved Mr Harrington's phone.

[@dylanmann328]

I thought the Life of Chuck was beautiful, especially chapter 2. The moment that he created warmed my heart and showed the best side of humanity

[@karlakiss19]

I’m currently reading IF IT BLEEDS. This is actually my first book of his. I’ve watched your reviews of prior Stephen King novels and I agree. I think this isn’t the first book you should pick up. As for me, I like to just take any book and let myself get pulled in. I agree with everything you’re saying. I do like the story lines for it to be my first book of his. I can definitely see the eerie side of it. I agree with all you said though. I wished I would’ve read prior books to know the characters references. I will next time for sure!

[@kevinsmith7-7-7]

Thanks, Daniel I have this on hold, sounds promising

[@Illeyejah]

Finally got around to watching "the outsider" I was pleasantly surprised since his movie/TV adoptions have a .50 record. Hoping to read more about Holly in this one.

[@brittanyhoward1741]

Loving the reviews! Looking at your bookshelves I see that you have the giant brick that is the entire Bone Graphic Novel. I was wondering since you've been reviewing a lot if you could maybe do a re-review of Bone and delve into more graphic novels/manga?

[@DontfuckwithdaGunslinger420]

Review Lisey’s Story. That’s such a great book by King. And there is a part of that book that I still catch myself thinking about

[@susansage1876]

After watching Christine on an old VHS, I thoroughly enjoyed the book! Wow!

[@BuzzardPlanet97]

I loved Life of Chuck, especially the second part

[@michaelschramm1064]

Yes, that is very much the cornerstone of the story where we learn of the human mind and imagination being a wondrous and potentially influential microcosm. For my money, I think Chuck was the proverbial solipsist.

[@rubb3rm4n53]

You can start off with the Outsider to understand the supernatural element to “If It Bleeds” but the supernatural element to Holly’s “world” started in “End of Watch”. Also, you’d get a better understanding of The Robinson’s family if you read the Hodges’ trilogy. There’s situations that happen in “If It Bleeds” that left me panicking due to how much I loved some of these characters from the previous books.

[@davidpo5517]

The lighting in this vid is great!

[@kev7161]

I think his Holly Gibney story was pandering to Hollywood. You notice at the end of The Outsider HBO adaptation how Ralph suggested she call him if any other "Outsider-y" kind of case comes along so he can help her out with it. I feel this was an opening to have a second season of the show. King wrote essentially a basic script for S02. The producers of the TV show can muck around with it and come up with their angle of the story.

[@NealVan]

This review is of my first video of yours I’m watching that just popped up on my homepage and I thought I’d take a look. I feel you given some fair opinions about this quad collection of short stories. As someone who has always believed in the right for everyone to have your own opinion (I turn 60 in this December) which means I grew up in a much less pressured environment for having personal opinions. I don’t envy you or anyone doing opinions about any topic these days with all the twisted thinking from decades of anti American brainwashing of all Americans. Kudos for having a brain all your own and not stifled by the trolls on KZbin who just love findings things to hate and cause conflict about. Now getting back to why I mentioned my age. I feel your opinions of what writings by S. King are best and those that are not using the lens of time when written as your filter or others you use as their filter. I’m old enough to be lucky enough to have had the opportunity to read (now I listen via Audible.com) because my eyes aren’t what they used to be and I enjoy those who have the ability to ‘perform’ the material. I began audiobook listening when the books were only available to the Blind through the Federal government and the few other private companies that came along back in the late 1970s. Those tapes were 1/4” wide tape on a 7.25” reel size reels. You also needed a special player that had a different play head and ran at 1 1 7/8th speed (one and one seven eighths inch per second) which is half the speed of a typical reel tape or cassette tape. They did this in this way to save space by using half as many expensive tapes. They used all four channels (aka tracks) to save money and be more efficient. You would listen to side 1 track A as normal, then without removing the reel, play side 1 channel B in reverse. Then you flip the tape over and do the same for the second pair of channels. If you can find a cassette and put it in a typical cassette player, you’ll hear forward and backward speaking at the same time. If I did Acid, I might have enjoyed it that way! LOL. Anyway, back to your opinion. Having not watched any other of your videos yet. I plan to check out how you think S. King novels, novellas, and short stories should be where to start to fully e,brace the very wide variety of material topics S. King has covered since his first published novel...Carrie came out in 1974 followed by a very limited local only to Maine residents of Salem’s Lot inn1975. Big dollar value to a mint copy of that first edition for those who collect or want to make money on eBay. I have to break down what genre of Kings writings you are interested in. The bulk is in some level of the horror genre, but he’s done some incredible suspense or plain drama works such as Shawshank Redemption as just one example of straight drama. Now as I’m thinking about what I’d recommend. I think I’m going to hold off until after I’ve watched your suggestions on how to get started as a new S. King potential fan first and see if we agree or where we might differ. I have some major thoughts about all King’s writings after his literal death for a few minutes. For any who might not know King was hit by a drunk driver in a minivan while walking on a main road shoulder near one of his homes in Maine. The news all said Stephen King had died until an updated report from the ER doctors and his wife could state that he was still alive, but in critical condition. Lucky for us fans and his family, he pulled through and did something very interesting with his brush with death in a few of his novels published not too long after this tragedy. I’m hoping I will find your reviews and comments about any books or other media you might discuss on your channel something perhaps you might wish an ‘Old Guy’ opinion whether we agree or mostly agree, etc. as perhaps another perspective as someone who lived through everything he wrote when it was new as well as which books are amazing as audiobooks and others for whatever reason are not? If you read this and feel it might be worth your time to contact me, I’m at MerlinFL34480 on Instagram or here in KZbin. I’m a retired pro touring and studio musician most of my life. But now with all life has thrown at me, I can’t play anymore...so I took up fishing in the past 3 years since I live on a brackish water canal here in New Port Richey, FL. So my channel in reverse chronological order has tons of fishing videos, a few clips of things that caught my interest, to all music videos of me performing in some of the tribute and basic cover bands I played in since 2001 when I moved from NJ to Ocala, FL which is a heck of a lot nicer, although without the fishing in the backyard which began shortly after moving here in November 2017. Whatever you choose, I’m now a subscriber and look forward to binging on most of your review videos of material or topics I’m familiar with and passionate about. Sorry for the long comment and I hope my suggestion of a team up of some type might appeal to you. I know we could definitely talk about many aspects of The Wheel of Time I can see behind you as well as S. King. Perhaps you like Kong’s, Crichton, Kevin J. Andersen, Hawke, Paolini, Lovecraft, Tad Williams, Ayn Rand, Tolkien, Clarke, Sanderson, George R.R. Martin, Patterson, Straub, Heinlien, Asimov, Guillermo del Toro, Ann Rice, S. A. Corey, Terry Goodkind, Clive Barker, Deborah Harkness, even J. K. Rowling, and so many more classic and current authors.

[@mslaureenslibrary]

I loved The Outsider and The Institute, which are newer titles. I am so excited to read this even more since you said If It Bleeds is a follow-up.

[@Themaninblack19]

Haven't done The Institute but i wasnt expecting much from The Outsider and i loved it

[@opinionofamoose308]

After I read lord of the rings and my other fantasy world books, I really look forward to reading his books. I think this was a very fair and true full review

[@stormmarc5706]

If it bleeds is awesome! Have you read any of his other short story collections? My favourite is skeleton crew

[@jackmetcalfe1964]

David Gemmell's character work in the Rigante series Is really good.

[@16SF]

Thank you for that rant at the beginning. I'm gonna have to send it to some people who straight up preach "don't bother reading anything new" lol

[@aimeew2063]

So far I have read the girl who loved Tom Gordon, the outsider, bill hodges trilogy and if it bleeds

[@collinpristera3397]

I started stephen king books with Mr. Mercedes after that I was hooked so far I've read 5 of his books (slow reader here) and in middle of 1 now and I've got a bunch stored that I plan to read afterwards😀 I think he's a great author but to each their own

[@juandelsol9433]

I remember when Daniel said Stephen King's writing just wasn't for him. :D it's nice to see him evolve.

[@dailyplanet354]

Well, the Monkey Paw is kind of similar to "The Bottle Imp" So, he's not the first author to do his own twist in that kind of story.

[@justjasontm]

I took several years off king novels and only recently got back in to them so I read The Outsider before I read The Bill Hodges trilogy but I will say I'm gaining a ton of character building and development of Holly from these books and now some things she says in the Outsider make much more sense to me. I've been putting off this one but now that I know the title story is a direct sequel to the outsider I'll have to

[@b2ickwall978]

Dr. Sleep is my favorite of his... old and new.

[@fredericksnyder7582]

I will say I read the Outsiders Before the Mr. Mercedes series. And it was kinda enjoyable seeing Holly in the Mr. Mercedes book knowing what she would become in the Outsiders.

[@TheAlbaner990]

This was actually my first stephen king book and I remember giving it 3 1/2 Stars but also realising that he might be a favourite author for me. All of these stories seemed cool and fun but they didn’t just grab me, but what did grab me was his writing. The first one i remember thinking it was ok, im not really scared of books or movies, it takes a lot for me to actually be scared, but i do love horror stuff in general. The second story I remember being really conflicted, on the one hand absolutely loving it, I love weird stuff that has depth to it, where you realise that this not just tells a story but makes you ponder life in general. But i also thought that i missed just something, I couldn’t say what exactly, something holding this more together. Interestingly though i think about this story very often and don’t even know why. If it bleeds made me realise that it is a really good story but i think i just don’t like crime thrillers. I thought it was really good but just not for me. And the last one was just exactly what I thought king would be. So maybe this was the perfect starting point for me because from that day on i knew I love king and what i dont love about him and what i do.

[@Moisanator]

8:49 Night Watch? Is that a short story by King? I’ve never heard of it. Were you thinking of Graveyard Shift from Night Shift perhaps?

[@nicolehildenberger1441]

Under the Dome and 11/22/63 are completely under appreciated. So is Desperation!!

[@lustforbooks2975]

It's a shame that in my country I can't find any Stephen King books 😔

[@spacesergeant101]

Although I'm sure there are a lot of influences on the Dark Tower, I've always felt it's King's take on The Chronicles of Amber. It fits the real world writing timeline too.

[@Will-nq3fo]

Damn Daniel! You read books so fast can you even enjoy them! You're a great guy, not hating just a little jealous, got a backlog of over 200 books I've bought from goodwill over the years. I thought I'll read them on a rainy day.....then I moved to Northern AZ (face plant).

[@matthewsmith4647]

It's AZ . take "fuck this heat" days 😆

[@nightlightoasis]

Loved this book and my favorite Gibney story.

[@carefree799]

Ive never read stephen king's books before but always wanted.Unfortunately only if it bleeds and the dead zone books are on sale in my country. And i bought if it bleeds.I hope i will like it. I would like to buy more😢

[@harveywhitfield1518]

Think about doing a Bernard Cornwell series review? Maybe the warlord chronicles

[@OttawaOldFart]

Under the dome was so good with that unexpected ending.

[@djhedgepath7967]

I would give it a solid 5 or 6 out of 10. First off, Holly is my girl and I love her SO much and I will read anything with her in it. But it seemed majority of the stories just ended abruptly which I found jarring. That being said, there is a reason King is my favorite author and he is still doing us constant readers proud.

[@djhedgepath7967]

@Maester Gryphon the Mr.Mercedes trilogy and The Outsider

[@Clakpo73]

The analogy of a band releasing a great album in the 90s and people ignoring their newer work is literally the story of Weezer. Stephen King is the weezer of the literary world haha

I wish King would do some more novellas or even whole novels set in the Dark Tower universe. He has one short in Everything's Eventual and The Wind Through The Keyhole was awesome so I wish he would maybe do some more like that A quick suggestion, the best collection of short stories in a book I have read and highly recommend is Strange Highway by Dean Koontz which is funny cause I don't like ANY of his other books that I've tried but the stories in this book range from pretty good to friggin awesome

Daniel: 0:40 M. Night Shyamalan : Tell me about it Daniel: Shut up. You are completely irredeemable.

The difference between King and Shyamalan is that even when you don’t compare M Night to his early days, the stuff he’s making now is still, objectively bad.

@@jayoctopus8832 I personally just don't like his work at all.

[@jayoctopus8832]

KerstinMamma yeah, but some people do. I don’t think anyone likes his recent work.

@@jayoctopus8832 His past work is fine but his more recent stuff is just plain trash.
