I’m reading 11/22/63 at the moment. The sheer scope and breadth of it is absolutely incredible. I will be sad when I have to say goodbye to George and Sadie.
That was my first King book because I'm a JFK fanatic. I picked it up breezily at Barnes & Noble with other books. I always thought King was "beneath" me as an old English Lit major 🙄, but 11/22/63 started my intense passion and search for every one of his books. I recently finished Fairytale and deliberately put it down so I could savor it. King is the greatest.
Omg i literally Loved Sadie. ur gonna die at the end
It is the best ending he ever written. It’s beautifully bittersweet.😊
Sadie dies and George don't cry.
Second-favourite Stephen King book. "It" will always be his masterpiece, but "11/22/63" is just divine.
I was always an avid reader, and started reading King at age 10 - 12, after I pulled one of his books from my mother's book shelf and got instantly hooked.
And while I can't pretend that I have read ALL his books _(no fan of the "Dark Tower"-books)_ - I have read MOST of them. PLUS all the R. Bachman books, of course.
And the vast majority of all those books are simply great!
I think so to. But i love DT
Stephen King is a legendary writer.
His son Joe Hill is an amazing writer as well. If you haven't read his books and short stories you are missing out.
What about Owen, his other son? What do you think of his work?
You're Joe king.
@@DunaTheLuna ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Yes😊
I have no idea if Stephen King will ever see this comment, but just in case... I keep watching all the interviews you do, and towards the end, people usually have time to ask you a question. Here's mine. Would you ever consider writing a novel or short story about Al and all the crazy stuff he did when he discovered the rabbit hole? I just find 11-22-63 so damn fascinating and incredible. I was just curious if we'd ever get any more stories about that. I'm 38 years old and basically grew up in a house full of dysfunction. Not much reading went on. It was more survival at most times. That honestly delayed me in anything related to school, learning, etc. My point is, now, as an adult, I'm sorta on this adventure of backtracking all the things I missed out on. I've learned so much about world history, and I've read so many books. I keep a list in my journal each time I learn a new word or finish a book. I started with The Hobbit, then went on to eventually finish The Lord of the Rings. I read all seven Harry Potter novels. Every time I'd go to the book store or library, I'd see Stephen King books and be so curious about what lied within the pages but my self esteem was poor, I didn't think I was smart enough to get through them. Boy, i really cheated myself out of earlier experiences. I have read and enjoyed Pet Cemetary, 11-22-63, It, and I'm currently starting Mr. Mercedes. Thank you for your hard work. My life is truly better knowing these characters from your stories. Lonesome Dove is my next big challenge. 😊
I’ve over the years read many of his books. I’m definitely looking forward to this one as well 🥰💯
Holly Gibney is a great character! I'm psyched she got her own book. ❤
Misery was the first book i read also! It was a great book! I read it when i was a Soldier in Iraq in the us army! 😊
1stly thank you for your service & 2ndly i'm glad you had something good to read to help you stay sane over there
Hope there is more to the interview. He has been such a valuable resource.
The master as far as I'm concerned. And not only of horror.
I have loved King's writing from the first book I picked up, The Shining. I had to put it down because it absolutely terrified me! But I found Thinner and made it through and I haven't stopped reading his works ❤ I finally finished The Shining when Dr. Sleep was released and loved the seamless continuation. Thank you for never giving up and sharing your imagination with us, Mr. King!!!
It's always a pleasure to watch your interviews, Sai King. As for the new release , I thank you big big!
Another true fan : )
All of Sk's writing to me is silk. I have every book and love them all. I am really happy he wrote this one, I have always been fascinated by Holly and can't wait to find out more. :)
Great to hear the host express his appreciation. King has become such an institution.
Steven King was already huge in 1986. Carrie, The Shining, those books had already been made into films.
I have loved Stephen King since I first read 'Salem's Lot (which is my all-time favorite book). I literally have a bookcase devoted to all of my SK books (all of his works, plus books on him). He is absolutely my favor author. :)
I love how he develops his characters. Makes them so real and relatable.
I look forward to reading his new book. He is an artist.
Stephen King's stories were what my grandfather and I would watch when he was alive. Misery brings back so many winter memories. Hearts of Atlantis was grandpa's favorite. The Shining was another one that grandpa and I watched.
Bought it yesterday on the spot. Didn’t even know it was out yet. Already reading it. Super excited.
I loooove Stephen King! The Long Walk is one of my favorite books!
I'm a "read-a-holic"... even as a child if I was doing something that didn't engage my mind then I read while I did it if I could... for instance if I was eating cereal in the morning I was also reading. Like Stephen I love books that I can't put down. It's funny though... my first Stephen King novel in High School was Salem's Lot. It was one of the very few modern novels that my 11th grade honors English teacher allowed on our reading list. And I actually DID have to put it down for a day or two. He is so great at making what you're reading visual and real. That scene where the child vampire is floating in the window really did scare me! *lol* I put it down a short time after reading it. When the movie came out I know they did their best to make it as good as the book.... but nothing is better than what Stephen can put in your mind. I know they recently remade it (which I've been hoping for)... but haven't released it. I'm guessing it still isn't up to the level it needs to be. Hopefully one day it will be remade in a way that is much closer to the book visually. I have not come close to reading ALL of his books. I read a wide ranging variety of books and there's just not enough time for all of them. I even listen to audio books while driving. BUT... I love knowing I have more Stephen King to discover for awhile to come yet!
Nice interview. Thank you.
Happy Birthday Mr. King, I hope you have MANY MANY more!!
❤🎉
The Talisman was the first King book that I read❤❤
Did you read black house? It’s amazing.
Steven King is the best ever. Have all his books and movies.
Holly is my favorite King character and I have been reading since 5th grade…Skeleton Key.. that was 36yrs ago
Thanks Steve.
I LOVE Stephen King as a writer and many of his earlier scarefests were page turners but they never scared me. I dont know what the hell’s wrong with me! I WANNA be scared because his writing got ME started writing at 11yo. I’m now published myself (small time small press stuff but we all gotta start somewhere).
Not even beyond the Pet Sematary with the wendigo? That gets me every time.
I like how his books of late have been about fighting aging. I hate thinking of a world without King in it. 😢
Agreed. One of the most influential fiction writers the past 40 + years. Such a unique mind.
Stephen King is a genius.
I know it’s not one of his more popular books, but “The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon” could be my favorite King novel.
Something about stories that COULD happen (like his Cujo, Misey) make them the scarier ones.
I am a huge fan of Stephen King!
Holly is a great character. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Enjoyed. Really liked the full " finders keepers" collection. Some great characters and story lines.
Love him❤
Love him; keeps getting better with age, like fine wine. 😊😊🤓🤓🧡💛🧡
Can't wait to read
I have always been a fan of his since I was in high school and my mother thought there was something wrong with me.. The book was The Tommyknockers. I was soo engrossed in the book I was actually seeing the scenes out like I was right there. That's the best part of the books that is the best part, the books get you so deep in the storyline that it's actually worth reading
A genius. What a legend!
He is able to write all these books and whatever comes to his brain he puts it down in the book and it has worked for many years.
Just read Holly. Good book!
😊😊😊yes🎉😊😊😊
Full dark no stars was the first book by king that I read my favorite book is Dolores Claiborne and Billy summers
Reading the Dark Tower series now.
I hope you will enjoy it
my mom is a 90’s fan ….. i started seeing some of his movies when i was 9 years old dont remember some but Pet Cemetery,IT,Kujo And Carrie had me loss for words lol im actually scared to read most books i have a few that seem to be the small not so mind bending books im playing it safe !!! 😅
As it applies to others, I've read my fair share of Stephen King's books, but leave fond memories of those that I enjoyed, well enough alone :-)
❤ ❤❤
Having watched a thousand of these types of five minute major network shilling a new book interviews I can say that this is one of the best-especially near the end.
I like your video.
Where's the full interview tho?
He's amazing Many of his books have kept me up for many of nights INSOMNIA 😊
The same happens to me but with his twitter feed 🤣🤣👍
Sad
they almost loved me to death 🖤
P.S. Stephen King “Keep on rocking in the free world”. I hope u keep spitting out gems until you’re 99 years ol
If I ever meet him I'm going to say Maximum Overdrive is his greatest work
Flattered my life can be turned into a horror 🎥 to the point it got your attention
I love the man.
Best author ever imo
The lamp
Guy kills a guy who always has the lamp on and the glare only ruins the movies on the tv from his perspective, and the glare might be f-ing with his eye..
Didn't The Stand pretty much predict COVID?
Great interview... i cant wait for holly.. only king could pull off a serial killing elderly couple and holly is o n e of my favorite frocking characters .. ive read all 5 books in t he mr mercedes series and god was it twisted .. with one of his more original antagonists. ... i mean theyre all original but i guess hes brought in zrandall flag and his devilish antics in his stories lne too many times for me personally and I ve bren reading king for over 30 years at this point and im just barely 40 so... almost my entire life... my fifst book of his i read was cujo and i kept it.. gave it to my p ldest son when h e thrned 12 at which point my ex freaked out on me for feeding him nightmare fuel... but cujo isnt IT or t he shining.. but maybe the institute wouldve been more up his alley.. who knows but i went from cujo to desperation.. and i turned out just fine.... or did i? Buahahahahahahahaha
“I am the literary equivalent of a Big Mac and fries” Stephen King said
Glad he is writing a real horror again.
Please don’t die.
Who doesn't love horror Santa? (rhetorical)
That's what it feels like a horror movie
YOU KILLED MY MISERY!!!!!
*murdered*
keep up that writting stephen, enjoy the decked halls with bows breaking.
thanks so much i mocked to Bangor Maine with r.miller and your hosting the show!say hello to holly and elenora.
Our greatest living writer.
I want to be a writer when I grow up I like to write scary story’s
I guess youd be added in. Huh
A vow the borealis on our wrists.
We blink the way the headless horseman rides;
how pounds the heart! his gallop on the bridge.
Commitments tame the dreadful course of Time.
A bower parodies the guillotine.
There, couples smile while cheating Death
with bowed foreheads and lips about to meet
where in Love’s kiss eternity is fetched.
This bond assists the newlywed’s escape,
and laughing at the hooves behind their backs.
The horseman’s tricked to stop at thrown bouquets,
and at the graveyard groove they hide at last.
With quiet giggling behind tombstones
two hands between two stones are still eloped.
Returns? He writes like 12 books a year. Don’t you have to be away for a while to “return”?
I love King's writing and have been reading him for 30 years now. I don't need to agree with his politics, but if he's going to go there in a novel, he needs to spend more time figuring out why people disagree with him, if only because there's no other way to create realistic characters. It's like he imagines that everybody who disagrees with him is a hopeless imbecile or a comic book villain. Two dimensional characters are just the hallmark of bad writing, and King isn't a bad writer, so it's frustrating and disappointing. If he really is this clueless about the views of the other side of the political aisle, then he needs to just leave politics out of his books entirely. It just takes you out of the book and ruins it.
His next book is about a haunted MAGA hat
I quickly forgot your question. But the answer was no... its still happening.
I understand what he’s saying. I’ve tried to plot my books out in the past, but I can’t write like that. It stifles my creativity.
Discipline That's my horror
He is MY King !!!
I would classify this as a detective book. He is not a detective writer
He is at best a horror writer. this is not horror
I miss his Richard Bachman days. Bachman was a f****** lunatic.
Them books where written when he was in his the depths of drug and alcohol abuse
I know. @@ADZ01982
Wow, he's starting to look like Samuel Beckett. Slightly different word count though.
He looks like the Crypt Keeper
Don’t make the mistake of buying the Stephen R. King books…not even a glimmer of a comparison, the real king is well, the real king.
Author Stephen King returns with chilling new book "Holly" 1404pm thought you were gonna say he'd jossed it. for real?
Sounds like Holly is a female version of Monk...
Stephen king- a man that learned to drink, standing'' after a#
Wonder if he still does all his writing or has ghost writers now that his writing is pretty formulaic.
RAGE
Wow king has a nice house, but is that really practical for all the refugees he's housing? Also I see a lot of things that aren't good for the environment. He's adamant about radical leftism, so I'm a bit surprised
He does not look anything like Ranx.
Bullsh!t. 😂
Another book by Stephen King ... and in the middle of writing another ...
The interview might be a fan but I feel like he gave a horrible interview.
Dude turned into a nagging old grandmother lately.
If you want to read political crap instead of escaping into a good novel read Holly
Boring, verbose books with stupid endings.
Hasn't made a good book in over 20yrs!😂
So true. Dallas was the last decent one. And its comming from life long fan
Not to me
He's awful
why? becasue he disagree with you?
@@zaftra why u say that
He is a very talented writer, no doubt. I'm not a big fan even though I'm a voracious reader. My complaint about his work is there's a lot of filler in many of his works. His ability to keep the reader interested is second to none & often the story could've been told compellingly in half pages. I surmise this may have been the publishers influence wanting to give the reader his monies worth selling a thick book. Even so, never got bored with a book he's written & not all fall victim to that criticism.
King is rampant anti Drumf which is perfect
Fond of his earlier books, but the man hasn't a clue about Trump.
