Stephen King reading vlog 🔪🩸😱 reading Stephen king for the first time ever

[@katerinaps99]

Stephen King has to be the only author that can write an entire novel that takes place just in one location, one ROOM, and he still keeps you at the edge of your seat the whole way through

[@khalilahd.]

Literally!

Stephen King is my favourite author! I have about 50 of his books, theres something so special about his story telling and the characters! 🥰

[@ElinWinblad]

His pedo things ruined it for me decade ago when I read IT - you just don’t add something like that to a book and it has no relevance to the story and makes no sense unless the author is into that 🤮

[@CherryLelyPR]

Wow 50! Ive seen a few movies. Can u mention a few of ur favs? I wanna start reading some of his work too

[@AveragePJOstan]

@@CherryLelyPRone of mine is Billy summers

[@alexlaurajo]

@Aureliz it's taken years to collect, I buy cheap from ebay or free libraries.. so hard to choose but I loved pet sematary, Insomnia and the series starring with Mr Mercedes!

[@CherryLelyPR]

@@AveragePJOstan Ill look it up!

[@nonuora]

I’m trying to be a Stephen King completist. What you felt while reading “Misery” is what I call The Stephen King Effect. He has the uncanny ability to write in a way that makes you feel as though you’re going through what the main character is experiencing. He makes you think through “What if this was me?”

[@BAW47]

The Stephen King effect!! I love this!!! Hands down, my favorite author. His profound and complex portrayal of his characters make you feel as if you are there. Some of them will stay with you for a lifetime. Leland Gaunt has stayed with me for 25 years....I've never watched the movie, I generally dont watch them knowing i will be disappointed

[@maatx4027]

Well said!!

[@garnetgem113]

Stephen King book is one of my absolute favorite authors. Currently on a quest of re-reading all of his books in chronological order and enjoying every moment!

[@pinkgreendino]

I JUST FINISHED MY FIRST STEPHEN KING BOOK! It was Billy Summers and I don’t even know what to think.

[@Serenejea]

Same! The ending had me looking out the window. Definitely adding Misery to my TBR

[@TheComfyReader]

Thank you for highlighting Stephen King’s books/works. He’s my absolute favorite Horror/Suspense Author. I am 55 years old and have been watching his books become movies since I was a young girl. Carrie was his first movie. I watched it when I was 8 or 9 years old. ♥️📚♥️📚

[@BAW47]

Same! I'm 53 and I feel like some of lesser known books are the best. Rose Madder is one of my favorites!

[@maatx4027]

Misery is shockingly terrifying and begins with a sense of extreme discomfort that gradually morphs into dread. I swear it’s one of those books you need to constantly take a break from, even though it’s so short. Happy reading girly, and happy spooky season!! ❤

[@Delusionalasf007]

i read it in one sitting

[@shalidarenee84]

Your reactions reading this book lol Yes, you should definitely watch the movie. Kathy Bates absolutely kills it as Annie!

[@dreamytulip]

The only Stephen King book ive attempted reading was IT and i couldnt continue I was spooked😂 Now that I'm older, i think im ready to give him another shot

[@khalilahd.]

STARTING with IT is insane 😭 and after reading this one I'm not sure if I could do something like that lol. Definitely try one of his shorter books

[@dreamytulip]

I'll do that x

[@angelaholmes8888]

I read it last year it was good my first king read was full dark no stars a short story collection

[@laurah2042]

I don’t know if I didn’t scroll far enough in the comments, but just to clarify: Carrie was Stephen King’s first book (and is FANTASTIC). Jerusalem’s Lot was a short story which was published in a short story collection! Stephen King is such an interesting author because his writing spans so many different genres. He has some huge novels (see IT and The Stand, both of which are fantastic) and many short story collections. One book I always recommend to people who want to try to read Stephen King but aren’t as interested in horror/paranormal/thriller genres is 11/22/63 - it’s more of a science fiction novel because the story is about time travel and its consequences. Misery was an early read of mine when I was a young teenager and it still sticks with me ~20 years on. It’s so good!

[@tessib.1043]

I agree, but my favorite is Bag of Bones. I read that book in 24 hours

[@katmancilla5777]

The green mile is a good non horror book too.

[@tylerday6890]

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DROP!!!! Love Mr. King and all of his work. Misery is a trip and I am so glad you make a reading vlog about it. Welcome to the Stephen King cult!

[@brailea7190]

I had to come find you on my phone to tell you to read and watch Storm of the Century. Every winter I have to watch it. That is my favorite besides Carrie and Children of the Corn. Stephen King is the shiznit for real. 😂

The 24 hour spooky vlog sounds awesome! It would be super cool if you read only Stephen King! I think you'd really like The Shining, or maybe grab Night Shift , which is a short story collection that I love.

[@tamar3859]

I finally picked up Stephen King books a few years ago and became a fan instantly. Misery was definitely a wild ride but Mr. Mercedes has continued to be one of my favorites of his so far. I've only read 8 of his books and have a few more on my list. He is a classic writer and a go-to for a great read.

[@beehello95211]

I just finished my first Stephen king books, Salem’s lot and Pet Sematary. They were so good! And I’ve been wanting to talk about them with someone so this vlog is perfect 😍

The movie is amazing… top 10 of the movies I watched with my older brothers growing up. The book sounds more scary lol

[@LindyS1830]

My favorite is The Shining, not the movie THE BOOK, so good so scary. LOVED IT.

[@tessib.1043]

Absolutely agree

[@Libriecappuccini]

I've read a lot of Stephen King novels, but this is one of the most terrifying. The fact that he was able to induce this kind of terror writing about a man bedridden and with just one location and two characters, really shows that he's the king (pun intended) of horror. And you just gained a follower, btw. Love your video ❤

[@Raine-97]

The ending of this book.. I was literally crying as I trembled in fear. I’ve read a lot of Stephen King… I’ve loved horror for a long time… but man, this book had me SHOOK! 😭

[@AsuraSantosha]

I just read this book!! It was also my first Stephen King. It was so good! My copy was an original print from 1987 (not a first ed, I don't think. This book sold so many copies, it was the number 1 book that year). And hearing you read parts makes me wonder if your version has been updated at all....

[@aarib7608]

This is such a good idea. I hope she sees this.

[@autumnathenaeum]

misery is so good! one of my top ten books easily and kathy bates did such an incredible job in the movie. i was terrified of her for years. holly was also so deliciously creepy. i got the book last year and it still sticks with me. at some point this year i want to read the other books with holly in them. if you’re looking for other king recs insomnia, night shift, skeleton crew, and nightmares and dreamscapes are favorites of mine.

I've read 2 stephen king books and misery was one of them. Seeing your reaction was priceless, it's one of my favourite books

[@littlegroover6445]

I love Stephen King! I’m so glad you enjoyed reading. When recommending him to friends I always talk about how he can spend 3/4 of a book building a world with such intricate detail, you get to know all of these characters and relationships inside out which makes it all the more satisfying when it finally falls apart…

[@samarycastro]

I remember VIVIDLY reading my first horror novel and it’s honestly such a distinctly different experience to all other genres I read. Like I was SO scared and nothing bad was happening per se but it was eerie and chilling at the same time. I’ve always wanted to read all of Stephen Kings novels but feel so intimidated by them

[@shimmerngspirit]

I’ve read books by Stephen King that still haunt me 20 years later. He’s an amazing author.

Im just getting ready to start Fairy Tales. There is no author like Mr King. He is otherworldly. Dont forget to read some of his books under his pen name, Robert Bachman. A little off topic, but, Bath and Body works has a candle called "Book Loft" and it smells like a library 😍 think they will be on sale this weekend for $13.95

It was really good, but I'm afraid to try another of his books.

I've read 3 Stephen King books so far. Pet Sematary was SO good, I would defiantly recommend it. It's one of those situations where the book is better than the movie. I wasn't as crazy about Misery, it dragged a bit for me. The movie was superior to the book in this case. Most recently I read Holly which was horrible IMO. Avoid at all costs. I'm going to try to read Salem's Lot in October for spooky season. 🙂

Ok I need to read this book. I read Salem's Lot a while ago and it just wasn't my type of story. King lets his characters use the n-word a lot, at least in the older works. Especially in "it" it really pissed me off because it was coming up again and again. This being said, there are also many great characters in his books who are black.

[@myrthevdb1446]

I thrifted this book lately and I just finished it. Book was good. And for a second, I thought that I had an older version, because the book looks old and no one in the comments addressed the mentioned N word. I thought a newer version might have changed some writing, but turns out mine is from 2020. So for a second I thought everyone else had read a different version than me😂
