This past weekend, news hit that a big-budget adaptation of The Tommyknockers directed by The Conjuring and Insidious director James Wan was being shopped around. So I decided to share my thoughts on this, along with my thoughts on some news regarding The Stand adaptation. But because The Tommyknockers is such a maligned and unloved novel, I thought it was important for people to be able to see it in a different light, so I've re-released my review of the book, which isn't without it's flaws, but is jam-packed with wonderful ideas, imagery and chills that make me excited for whatever James Wan (I trust that guy!) has up his sleeve."

Ep 271Episode 214-Under The Dome
In this week's review, I examine what very well be one of King's greatest of all time, Under the Dome. Not to be confused with the CBS series, or the plot of the Simpon movie, the novel is a masterful examination of small towns and politics on both the global and municipal scale.

Ep 268Episode 210-Duma Key
Just recently, I examined a novel that King claims is his best, a claim that I strongly disagree with. However, it does serve as half of an effective one-two punch that is followed by Duma Key.

Ep 267Episode 205-Lisey's Story
With Lisey's Story, King published what he calls his best novel. That's a bold statement to make.

Ep 266Episode 204-Tod Williams' Cell (2016)
The novel Cell is an interesting zombie tale that takes your cellphone and turns it into the most dangerous object ever put in human hands (sadly, you don't need a Stephen King story for that statement to be true). While the novel itself is uneven zombie thriller with a sci-fi edge, it still has the beating heart of King as a storyteller. What happens when you keep the story but lose the storyteller? You become a shambling corpse of a movie starring John Cusak and Samuel L Jackson. As always, write in at [email protected] Follow me on Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook and Bluesky.

Ep 265Episode 202-Cell
With Cell, critics claimed this was Stephen King's return to horror. What we have certainly sounds like classic King: an every day object/concept spun into a nightmarish tale. However, released in the midst of the early 2000s zombie wave that began with 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead, does Cell really have that much to say?
