That Was Long

The Stand (Complete and Uncut) by Stephen King

by Leave a Comment

When I was as kid, like maybe 12 or 13, every Sunday after church, my family would go the the mall where we had a store selling outdoor equipment.  Across our store was a used bookstore.  I would spend hours reading while my parents did errands or whatever.  At the end of the day, they let me choose one book that I could buy.  I was a very fast reader and devoured books so for practicality’s sake (to make the book last longer), I always […]

Sure you have.

Needful Things by Stephen King

This is the last of the Stephen King novels that came out when I was a kid. I think the ones that I haven’t read yet past this one, I was at least in college for, and will get to those eventually. But I specifically remember my older brother going out and getting this one, and bringing it home, and the large hardback book, with the dark cover with the shop window lighted on it. It’s also a movie we watched together, but I hadn’t […]

I’ve been bad the last couple months. I finished all these books by early October, and have probably started a dozen books since then without finishing anything. And I’ve been reading Brandon Sanderson’s Misborn for about three months. I’m liking it, but I just can’t finish it for whatever reason. This hasn’t been a good Cannonball for me. But, much like my first Cannonball in 2015, I have the birth of a child to blame. Anyway, I’ll still try and review these books the best […]

The spill spilled, spilling red…

Night Shift by Stephen King

by 4 Comments

OK never mind, here’s one more review for the year. This is a collection of early Stephen King, and it’s his second collection. It’s also the collection that a) scared living hell out of me as a kid — maybe entirely from that creepy original mass market cover I put in this post, and b) was trawled for any imaginable movie they could make from it. While Skeleton Crew came out first, this is the one that has many many bad movies as a result. So, […]

Prepping for the next HBO show

The Outsider by Stephen King

by Leave a Comment

I missed this one when it originally came out because I had heard there was a connection to the Bill Hodges trilogy and I hadn’t read the final two yet.  The connection doesn’t happen until more than halfway through and involves one of the characters helping with an investigation while also alluding to the final fate of some of the other characters.  In other words, it doesn’t have major plot spoilers for the trilogy so it’s really just a personal preference thing for other readers.
