stephen king

I’ll admit that while I do read a lot, I don’t read a lot of Stephen King. I love his short stories though. I came across a novella of his (Different Seasons, I think?)a few years ago with 4 or 5 stories in it and devoured them all. It included “The Body”, which you may know better as the movie Stand By Me. One of my favorite Stephen King books / movies is The Shawshank Redemption. Every single time it’s on TV, I stop and watch it. Oh, another good one is Misery - Kathy Bates was FABULOUS. If you come across any of his short stories in the bookstore, pick them up - you won’t be sorry!

One short story I didn’t read is 1408, but I guess I don’t need to read it, since it’s going to be on the big screen as the 1408 Movie. In a nutshell, it’s about a guy writing a book (as played by John Cusack) who goes to a haunted hotel to prove that it’s NOT haunted…and he tries to make it for an hour in the room…the room that has claimed 56 victims previously. Is it all in his head? Is he really seeing things? I can’t wait to have the pants scared off of me! Here’s a sneak peek of the 1408 Movie:
