      That is an awesome story within an awesome book!!!

      Different Seasons is one of my all time favourite Stephen King books. I just wish that CD would produce a super deluxe edition for it.

        Growing up, I read The Body and watched Stand by Me all the time. It's still one of my favorite movies. "Lard ass, lard ass..."

          My favourite bit is the "Chopper sic balls" scene, where 'Chopper' turns out to be a small golden retriever instead of something like Cujo. Pure class!!!

            The Bighead. Wacked out like most of his stuff. Also Brain Salad Surgery. A great short story collection and I love the Infernal books. Soon I will be reading the Header books which consist of Header ,Creekers and Header 2. I think I might do a Edward Lee a month goal for 2014. That or Ray Garton .

I am beginning to get into the writing style, once I pick it up it is hard to put back down. If not this book, what is a good Ed Lee to start with?

              Just finished this ranking of King's books. Sure to cause some debate among (constant) readers. I can't make a complete ranking of all of them because I've not read them all but I agree with some of their opinions but not all. To each their own, as they say.

                I made a run to B&N last week and picked up Bad Seeds. I finished it last night and it was a good read. While it has a great collection of stories, the two that really stood out for me are The Horse Lord by Lisa Tuttle and my absolute favorite, Yellowjacket Summer by Robert R. McCammon. Blue Rose by Straub was good, but sad, and also the longest short in the book. I'll be reading it again some time down the road.

                  Finished NOS4A2. I really enjoyed it. The Subpress edition is beautiful. I'm one of those people who loves to read S/L's, but this one was heavy!! It's just as well... I need to get used to that since Dr. Sleep should be arriving soon!! But, what to read in the meantime....

                    I am glad I read the trade before receiving the limited. I have read the additional material in the limited but it is to large to read the whole story.

                      Finished The Novellas by Kealan Patrick Burke. This was one heck of a collection. "You In?" and "Seldom Seen in August" were good and recommended, but my two favorites were "The Tent" and "Midlisters". I was surprised by "Midlisters" because from the description, it was the one story that I wasn't as excited about, but once I started it, I just couldn't put it down. After reading this and Kin, Mr. Burke has now been placed on my "Must Read" list. I can't wait to read more. Good thing I already have Stage Whispers on my shelf and Theater Macabre pre-ordered!

                        Finished The Last Dark. Everything I'd hoped it would be, but as Dan noted, the final book of a series always leaves you wanting more. I'll turn my attention now to finishing The Century's Best Horror Ficition, vol.1 (I stopped after 1926) before year's end.

                          Today marks the 50th Anniversary of President Kennedy's tragic assassination, so I have started to read 11/22/63 by Stephen King.

                            Finished Speaks the Nightbird yesterday, and I loved it. McCammon is a hell of a writer.

                              The Straw Men by Michael Marshall was a fantastic read. I couldn't put this book down. The ending couldn't quite live up to everything that went before, but considering that this is the first book in a trilogy the faults could be easily forgiven. Also, Marshall chooses to alternate between first person, third person subjective and third person omniscient as the POV throughout the book, which can be slightly jarring even when those changes are taking place at chapter breaks. After a bit, I grew accustomed to it, but I can see why people could be turned off due to it. Great thriller and I can't wait to track down the other two books in the series.

                                On to The Dark Tower, last book and heavy as a brick.
