What do you think of idris alba playing Roland in the upcoming movie??
>>
From what I remember: Salem's Lot.

- The Shining was way too repetitive (inner thought process while he's chewing meds)
- The Long Walk: might have been boring as well.

I can't remember the ones I've read honestly, if you were asking about the movies about his novels, that's be another story though.
>>
>>718398207
I loved The Long Walk.

I do a lot of running and I reread it before each marathon.

My personal favourite though is IT.
Except for the ending. I wish King could write a fucking ending.
>>
>>718398207
King movie adaptations are so hit and miss.

Can someone recomment novels from his son Joe Hill?

I saw the movie Horns and loved it.

I've only read the first two books so far and I don't recall his skin color but it doesn't bother me too much...
>>
>>718398744
also, IT
>gangbang in the sewer

The Bill Hodges trilogy was pretty good, nothing special.

The Wind Through The Keyhole was excellent.
>>
Seriously, no one likes The Tommyknockers?

That was hands down my favorite King book.
>>
>>718396578
From a Buick 8 always intrigued me. 11/22/63 was a great read as well
>>
>>718398703
Hah we're lucky they didn't make the Gunslinger a black woman. White men can't be heroes any more remember? Idris is a decent compromise.
>>
>>718399154
What was that one about again? I don't remember that
>>
>>718398813
It's not a colour thing.... it's just. Wrong. Maybe I will go see it. Yeah. I will. When does it come out?
>>
>>718399283

Preach. For a white guy to be a hero he has to be dressed in spandex and be allergic to green rocks.

No but for real i agree.

Easily one of his best. Very underrated.

Novelist finds flying saucer that starts making her super smart. Hardcore lush friend/love interest is somehow immune to crazy alien brainwashing stuff.
>>
IT is my favorite by him, closely followed by Needful Things. His short stories are also very good, straight to the point. Oh Misery is also pretty good, such a huge self inflection on his own fears.

>>718398150
he'll do a good job, it would have been better with idris elba and matt mac switching those roles tho
>>
IT
>>
>>718396578
I couldn't get all the way through the Stand or IT, he is honestly a pretty bad writer. If I wanted cheap thriller/horror fiction, Dean Koontz is much better.
>>
Cain Rose up and Nona (?) from Skeleton Crew
>>
>>718399553

Wow I'll have to check that out

he's immune because of a metal plate in his head. AND SUCK ENERGY FROM A DOG.

Can you briefly describe it?

The Stand

The Stand is awesome, just very slow. I love his emotional stuff.

He only has 3, I think.

Horns
The Fireman

Try NOS4A2 next.

I think King has a great mind for creating universes, just terrible at writing stories about them.

I can sympathize, because I know personally that translating thoughts into the physical is extremely difficult to do well.
>>
>>718399918
This. Fuck the TV miniseries
>>
Holy fuck /b/ appreciates Stephen King. Never would of guessed.
>>
>>718398840
Fun story.
So I listen to audiobooks at my monotonous manual labor job. I've liked King since I was a teenager, so I've been listening to everything I can get of his. IT is read by Stephen Weber and excellently done.
Well I was on my way home from work and stopped at the store. While waiting in the checkout line they reach the child gangbang scene and I audibly said "what". By the time I checked out, sloppy seconds had turned in to sloppy minutes.
Not my proudest fap.
>>
>>718400164

Heart-Shaped Box, although I haven't read it.

I'm reading Horns now, it's fucking with me bad.
>>
>>718400164
Is that a leet Nosferatu?

The Dark Tower series
Salem's Lot
Cell was pretty interesting

>>718399531
dude that book was insane...totally need to read that again
>>
>>718400471
Why does this not surprise me... of COURSE he would have a creepy ass gate looking like that
>>
>>718400363
Yeah, kind of.

It's good. I'd recommend it tbh.
>>
>>718400350
Shit, dunno how I forgot that one! Heart Shaped Box is creepy as shit.
>>
>>718398713
Joe Hill is a helluva good writer, unlike his dad.
>>
Seems like most people like King but the minority who doesn't, REALLY FUCKING DOESNT. Why?
