Running Man (2025)
Adaption: ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Movie:⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Was really enjoying the first 2/3’s of this but it lost me when it briefly became HOME ALONE. From there it lost steam & even though I knew they wouldn’t do the ending of the book I was hoping they would keep the anger & rawness but the ending fell flat.

Never Flinch by Stephen King
⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is an ok story but not great. The surrogate jury killings plot is probably the stuff that works the best. Really didn’t care much for the Barbara stuff & found myself getting frustrated by the constant shoehorning the word ’flinched’ into the story.

Charlie the Choo Choo by Beryl Evans (@stephenking.bsky.social )
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is the real life version of the book that features in The Dark Tower. It is a fun read, that reads like a normal kids book but with images that add the creepy factor.

Hansel & Gretel by @stephenking.bsky.social & Maurice Sendak
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Fun retelling of Hansel & Gretel with images that take me back to my childhood. The highlight was him using Rhea of the Coos from The Dark Tower series as the witch in the story. Fun little nod to fans.

On Writing by @stephenking.bsky.social
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Short book that starts off as a short non exhaustive autobiography & then proceeds to discuss Kings various ideas about the craft of writing. Lots of great info, well explained & leaves you thinking maybe you could do it.

Rose Red (2002)
Movie:⭐️⭐️
Kings love of Shirley Jackson isn’t a secret but this is his most obvious homage to Jackson’s Hill House. The story isn’t terrible but unfortunately the acting is horrendous & the effects have aged badly.

It’s even better on the big screen. The casting is spot on and the direcing is perfect. The staging is all great with the flaming car chase the highlight of a lot of highlights.

Danse Macabre by @stephenking.bsky.social
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had never read those before so this is one of the few that isn’t a reread. I was really loving it to begin with but felt it went a little long. I would actually like a new version of it going through the past 40 years not just an updated essay.

I really enjoyed this collection with the highlight being Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream. I could have read a full novel of those 2 characters. Rattlesnakes (the Cujo sequel) is also very creepy. Probably the least enjoyable was The Turbulence Expert.

How the hell am I only now finding out Greg Malouf passed away 10 months ago. He was a master of Middle Eastern food & had a major influence on my cooking. Damn that’s tragic.

I reread THE LONG WALK before seeing the film & they change a lot of the story (especially the end) but despite all the changes it’s up there with some of the better King adaptations.

Kingdom Hospital (2004)
Movie:⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve sat with this for a week trying to decide what I really thought of this. It is absurd, funny, clever or odd in parts but at times it can not completely work. I’m glad I watched it but probably won’t ever watch it again.

Spent the afternoon on the couch with my own goodest boy next to me reading it. As soon as I finished it I had to get up & take him for a walk by myself to meditate on the book.
A beautiful novella that doesn’t over stay its welcome but paradoxically leaves you wishing for more.

Only just found out about this great Aussie film inspired by Rear Window. There’s plenty of other Hitchcock references too from Vertigo & Psycho & more. Aside from that it’s just a great fun movie in its own right. It has a great mix of dread, comedy, & suspense & has a great dog character as well.

Who knew erasable pens were heat sensitive. My daughter drew me a vet clinic run by her favorite animal- wombats. Took it to my clinic to laminate & put up and the image vanished. Thank god I did a high-res scan beforehand.

Sleepwalkers (1992)
Movie:⭐️⭐️⭐️
Classic tale we’ve seen a million times of the story of an incestuous relationship between a vampiric boy & his mum as they kill to survive. Despite the crazy premise it’s kind of fun enjoying the kooky 90’s vibe. It has a really fun cameo by King that made me chuckle.

Storm of the Century (1999)
Movie:⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
An original screenplay by King this story is fairly good. It captures the remoteness of the island & the dread of not knowing what’s actually happening well. Being made for TV it’s not very gory but has a nice satisfying dark ending.
