Where King has a chapter to all the survivors who die after the apocalypse to just the random parts of life?

2019-11-08 19:44:41 UTC  

Your comment made me think of that.

2019-11-08 19:44:45 UTC  

Oh thats funny

2019-11-08 19:44:56 UTC  

Yeah thats basically how it would work out though

2019-11-08 19:45:12 UTC  

Oh whoops stepped on a nail. Enjoy your tetanus

2019-11-08 19:45:19 UTC  

It is a serious of vignettes about the survivors of the super plague.

2019-11-08 19:45:23 UTC  

One person actually does die that way

2019-11-08 19:45:56 UTC  

One gets locked in a freeze, one tries to shoot a homeless bum and didn't clean her pistol, nail, a small 6 year old who just starves.

2019-11-08 19:48:56 UTC  

Its only a chapter but it stuck with me.

2019-11-08 19:49:01 UTC  

Beeman have you read any King stuff?

2019-11-08 19:49:09 UTC  

I would rate the Stand as one of his best.

2019-11-08 19:49:33 UTC  

Small bit of The Dead Zone

2019-11-08 19:49:41 UTC  

Didnt get very far but I still have it

2019-11-08 19:49:45 UTC  

Dead Zone was real good if I recall.

2019-11-08 19:49:53 UTC  

Yeah I've heard good things

2019-11-08 19:50:02 UTC  

Dry but a balanced look at the psychology of a pyschic.

2019-11-08 19:50:25 UTC  

It has a solid ending as well, and does not get as crazy as some of his stuff from that time.

2019-11-08 19:50:46 UTC  

He stopped doing huge amounts of Coccaine and no longer writes his books over a weekend,

2019-11-08 19:50:52 UTC  

I feel the quality has gone down.

2019-11-08 19:54:04 UTC  

My favorite short King books are Dark Tower, Salem's Lot, Dead Zone, Green Mile.

2019-11-08 19:54:10 UTC  

and the Shining.

2019-11-08 19:54:27 UTC  

It and the Stand are great but goliath beasts.

2019-11-08 20:05:37 UTC  

I've watched the adaptation of Green Mile but that's about it

2019-11-08 20:08:32 UTC  

¿You wanna be scared?
Read *The Hot Zone* by Richard PRESTON... It has a supreme endorsement.

2019-11-08 20:29:58 UTC  

IT and The Stand are great. The Green Mile is also good

2019-11-08 21:08:48 UTC  

I liked Dead Zone a lot.

2019-11-08 21:09:03 UTC  

I read it because of the USA show.

2019-11-08 21:10:36 UTC  

One thing I really liked about the book is that Johnny is legitimately crippled from his brain injury and actually has consequences from it other than just the time lost in a coma.

2019-11-08 21:21:43 UTC  

***The** Dead Zone.* Completely different story.
Eh... I think there was a film, staring Dustin HOFFMAN, in a role occupied by a woman in the book...

2019-11-09 00:31:40 UTC  

Gotta go with Kevin on this one, @RuRu... And I didn't check...

I know somewhere out there, someone developed a .357 dub-machinegun... ¿Has anyone OTHER than me heard if it?

2019-11-09 00:34:24 UTC  

speaking of people conflating things and forcing people to come down on one side or the other with no nuance... (talking about that Crenshaw video)

2019-11-09 01:37:13 UTC  

...
Assuming this is true and correct, there goes my theory...
