Insomnia 404 reviews Stephen King
Signet, 1995
LET THE GOOSE BUMPS RISE, AND ENJOY EVERY LINE
+ Tough to pigeon-hole
A method actor who received much of his training at the famed Actor's Studio, Eli Wallach has been delivering stellar performances on both stage and screen for the past 50 years. He gives us one more outstanding performance as he narrates Stephen King's lauded Insomnia.
While Wallach's name ...

Stationary Bike 26 reviews Stephen King
Simon & Schuster Audio, 2006
Great Story -- Great Reader
+ A simple story, well-told
I loved Stationary Bike. Ron McLarty could read the phone book and I would listen -- intently.
Stationary Bike was a lot of fun. In the story we follow Siftkits (spelling?) as he takes a metaphoric journey down his metabolic path. The characters, the reality and the settings were all fun.
It ...

The Gingerbread Girl 22 reviews Stephen King
Simon & Schuster Audio, 2008
Stephen King keeps delivering
This audio book was read by Mare Winningham, and she does a fine job. The story is the main draw, and you want this one. It is not really a horror story; it is a tale of terror, with more of a 'how badly do you want to survive?' theme. Lots of action, lots of clues as to what may happen next, with ...

Blaze: A Novel 149 reviews Richard Bachman
Scribner, 2007
It's not wrong to want the bad guy to win!
+ Stephen Kings does of Mice and Men + BLAZE IS GOOD!
You know how, when you meet an exceptional person, you feel honored to have been able to know them? You feel that you were lucky to have known them, to have been able to glimpse their life, to have been a part of it. Well, that is how I feel about Blaze. I feel honored to have known him for such a ...

The Eyes of the Dragon 337 reviews Stephen King

My favorite King Book
+ A great fantasy tale, but .... + Eyes of the Dragon
Ok, so I am a huge Stephen King fan, and I do like most of his books, but there are a few I absolutely loathe. When I first read this book, I had no idea what to expect, and I ended up getting hooked to the story, and read it all the way through in one sitting, which is extremely unusual for me; ...

Lisey's Story: A Novel 442 reviews Stephen King
Pocket, 2007
Longtime King reader
+ A Rich Read + Steven King
I have read almost all of King's books, and Lisey's story is one of my favorites. I think he really crosses into some great literature here. It starts out a bit slow, but gains serious momentum. I thought the backstory was the most engaging part of the story. King always does seem to have alot of ...

I remember listening to this audio CD about a year ago on the way home from a friend's home in the back country late at night. I figured what harm could there be... it's about cats... what could Stephen King do there? Who was I kidding?! Suffice it to say, it was the scariest drive home I've ...

Stephen King: 4 Film Favorites 3 reviews 4 Film Favorites
Warner Home Video, 2007
A real five star bargain.
+ four treats in one
I'm liking these four-in-one packages Warner Bros. has been doing. And for such a price! With the amount Amazon is charging for this DVD set, you get each movie for under three bucks each. Not a bad deal at all.
I actually bought this for Creepshow and Cat's Eye, two movies that used to freak me ...

Night Shift 166 reviews Stephen King
Doubleday, 1993
Not Free SF Reader
+ Great book but is missing some stories from the original + short story surprise
Stephen King's first collection, and very good it was too. Mostly horror as you would expect, but some SF horror, a twisted little crime story, and a call it would you like death by disease story to finish.
Demons, Elder Gods, voodoo, punishment, armageddon, bloody murder and more exist for you ...

From a Buick 8
+ Middle of the road King; it's still fun. + Spectacular imagery
What a nightmare this story is! And Stephen King does a breathtakingly adept job of guiding us through it with ease. State Troopers in Pennsylvania encounter a Buick, which is not really a Buick. The horrific and impossible plot is made so incredibly real with King's masterful skill. The plot ...

+ plenty of page-turning scary stuff + Not Free SF Reader
Skeleton Crew is a great collection that includes "The Mist," a classic novella, as well as a number of shorter stories. "The Mist" is an incredible story not just for its supernatural elements but more for its human development. It is - beyond just a horror story - an examination of mob psychology ...
