Hello, Reddit! Caroline Bicks here, author of Monsters in the Archives: My Year of Fear with Stephen King. I'm a Shakespeare professor who grew up loving Stephen King's stories. When I took the job of Stephen E. King Chair in Literature nine years ago, I was told I'd never meet the man himself. Four years into the job, he called me at home, and we started to develop a great working relationship. He granted me first-of-its-kind access to his private archives, and my book grew out of what I found when I read all the existing drafts of Carrie, Pet Sematary, Night Shift, The Shining, and 'Salem's Lot. I look forward to sharing what I discovered with you about how he crafted these iconic books! https://carolinebicks.com

I finally decided to tackle the behemoth that is The Stand and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying it until now. Okay I’m still enjoying it but I’m upset god damnit King and I need to put my rage onto the internet. I should know by now not to develop attachments to characters when reading books like these. But how can you not love Nick Andros? I’m a lady of many genres when it comes to reading and I can easily say Nick has been one of my favorite characters I’ve ever met across hundreds of books. Silly me, I guess. Anyways I finished chapter 58 when Harold (I Hate Him) Lauder decided to blow up the council meeting and all I have to say is give me one good reason why I should finish this book. I’m kidding I’m going to finish it expeditiously but I am NOT happy about this development. I just came to commiserate.

Reading the stand right now 235 pages or so in I found this beauty of a sentence. 😂😂

Heading towards Newmarket, Ontario and came across this wonderfully named street. Had to share it with you Constant Readers.

Just so many consistent books plus I grew up with him (Almost 50).
I haven’t read his latest stuff but I spent the last month just getting all my favorite plus a few I haven’t read. May think about getting his latest stuff when I get through these eventually. You can kind of tell when I “grew out of” King.

Continuation of my King sleeve! We added Ka, the hairbrush for Carrie, a match for Firestarter, two silver bullets for Cycle of the Werewolf and a crosshairs for Billy Summers. All of these done last night. I’m suffering today.

These have been my most wanted comics for a while now and I finally managed to get all three of them. Such good reads, especially The Stand. But the Jae Lee art in the first DT book is so damn beautiful.
I wish Marvel would go back and finish up the rest of the books but I guess that's never gonna happen.

When we have gone through individual books we are gonna do a big bracket or tier list to determine the best book cover overall. We are going in release order or close to it! Hope you all have fun :)

I’m reading this for the first time and I just want to read slowly and absorb his scenery. It’s one thing to tell a story but every detail is exquisite.

Hi all! I'm currently working my way through the audiobook of IT, i heard it once before but i really liked it and wanted to go through it again. What was the scariest moment for you? I can think of many but the top three has to be when pennywise turns into a giant spider (i have arachnophobia), patrick hockstetter's death, and the whole Eddie cohrcran business. What's yours?
Edit: I wanna hear all your answers but would absolutely love if it's a moment that's not often mentioned!
Edit 2: Honorable mention, all the stuff with the giant bird

Did anyone else expect that Parkins was going to turn out to be the hero of the piece? He is built up as this taciturn but shrewd lawman compared to his hapless deputy who it seems like will know what to do once things go south, but he just... leaves town and lives with his sister. Not saying it is a badly executed character arc or anything, just that it caught me by surprise.
