This blog… I’m still here. I swear. And I’m still sick, amazingly enough. I rarely get sick, but when I do, it seemingly lasts FOREVER. As I missed last week’s Top Ten Tuesday and I don’t plan to participate in next week’s (I’m not a series reader), I decided to find a middle ground, ofContinue reading “The State of Books: A Top Five List”

If You Liked ‘Salem’s Lot, Read This…
As King said in 1983, “In ‘Salem’s Lot, the thing that really scared me was not vampires, but the town in the daytime, the town that was empty, knowing that there were things in closets, that there were people tucked under beds, under the concrete pilings of all those trailers. And all the time I wasContinue reading “If You Liked ‘Salem’s Lot, Read This…”
Dinner Party: A Guest List
*Fair warning: My dinner parties never look like this.* So…dinner parties. I like them. While I’m not fond of hosting parties, I do like attending them (assuming the food is good). Good food is essential. In a perfect world, fictional characters would be just as likely to attend as family and friends (and in someContinue reading “Dinner Party: A Guest List”
Just After Sunset by Stephen King
(This is going to be a super professional review. Because that’s me – super professional – in a nutshell.) Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society… Aliens scare the piss out of me. This is not news. I don’t exactly know why. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with watching Alien at far too young ofContinue reading “Just After Sunset by Stephen King”
So you don’t read Stephen King…?
Okay, so since you are reading here, I’m just going to assume that you’re human and live on planet earth and know have read adore love worship Stephen King. If you don’t, you need to take a good, long look in the mirror and ask yourself what you’re doing with your life. And then commitContinue reading “So you don’t read Stephen King…?”
Just Friends, Right? A Top Ten List
I had the best of intentions to challenge myself this week, but when I started thinking about my favorite books that feature friendships (as hosted by The Broke and the Bookish), the first books that came to mind were all by Stephen King. Who am I to go against instinct? I did manage to limitContinue reading “Just Friends, Right? A Top Ten List”
Rage by Stephen King
On April 26, 1998 Jeffrey Cox walked into a classroom in San Gabriel High School with a semi-automatic rifle and 200 rounds of ammunition. He proceeded to fire his weapon and force the teacher out of the room while he held the remaining 70 students hostage. He then ordered pizza, soda, and cigarettes. He lovedContinue reading “Rage by Stephen King”
One Thing Leads To Another: A Top Ten List
This week’s top ten prompt is “gateway books” or books that encouraged me to read (as hosted by The Broke and the Bookish). I’m altering the topic a bit and pairing childhood classics I loved with thematically matched adult fiction. So which childhood favorites paved the way for my reading choices as an adult? InContinue reading “One Thing Leads To Another: A Top Ten List”
Stephen King’s Best Films: A Top Ten List
I have a general rule I try to follow: for every list I post, I have one review/something of merit. This has not been the case as of late. This blog, for better or worse, has become rather list-centric. Today’s post is no different. However, the top ten Stephen King movies list is surprisingly difficultContinue reading “Stephen King’s Best Films: A Top Ten List”
