I've never read it, but I understand that this is because said tween was already aware from experience that she had a perfect sense of direction, but only after having sex. Which is a superpower so specific, she may as well have summoned her Stand, and raises questions I'm sure King answered. The moral of the story is that you have to feed your writer just the right amount of cocaine.

I read the book like 20 years ago, but iirc it was that the influence of IT was essentially causing them to lose their way and sort of drift apart both literally and metaphorically, and her idea was for them to strengthen their bonds by essentially having a tween gangbang. It's like King wanted there to be more tension during the escape and came up with both the most deranged problem and solution he could come up with

Midsummer in the Nordic is a magical festival of light when kids learn that it's a completely legal thrill to pile up a bunch of old garden furniture in the yard to make a bonfire and then just throw gasoline on it when it doesn't seem that the flames are really picking up as fast as you'd like. I'm still surprised my granddad died of old age instead of horrible burns.

At 11 how did you get through the first 100 pages of every Stephen King novel where nothing happens except lovely boring people living their lovely boring lives?

King is a great writer most of the time and I find those 100 pages to be really engrossing. Most of the time. Sometimes I hate his dumb characters so much (It, Tommyknockers, some others) that I don't loving want to put up with those 100 pages of their stupid lives.

I love Stephen King. There's 800 pages of thrilling interpersonal drama intermingled with spooky poo poo, followed by two chapters where Steve realised the book needs to end somehow. He works better as a short-story author, where he has to limit himself to a single scary image (rats in a basement, a moving finger coming out of a drain, thinking too hard where a disused forest road goes, etc), but his long fiction is consistently entertaining. Also I have autisms

And having there actually be a point to it instead of just rambling.

The movie The Shining is good, but King has a point about Kubrick hollowing out a lot of the story. The book is a spot on depiction of an alcoholic controlled by his resentments. Which, of course, is because he was writing about himself. But because of the amazing powers of delusion that addiction gives you, he didn’t know that until he got sober, which was way after that movie came out. So I imagine it felt like a personal attack to have so much of Jack’s internal battle stripped out of it, but at the same time, he probably couldn’t say why it felt so personal.

I think that Trucks could be made into a great little thriller. Yes, Maximum Overdrive and all that, but if you read the story devoid of that context there's a lot there. King was a master at character work even fifty years ago.

Silly Burrito posted:I’d like to see an adaptation of The Running Man that actually followed the story. The Running Man (novel) is an amazing read if you know nothing about it and have just seen the movie. It also has a really great ending that Stephen King loving gives away in the introduction to the book. If you read Running Man, skip the introduction where he talks about what it means to write stories at age nineteen or whatever.
