Stephen King Intro




Today I will be starting a a series ( More than one post ) on Horror/Mystery/Crime writer Stephen King!! King is my favorite author hand down.

I will be covering all the book's he wrote and the movies based off of his work. A lot of research is going into these post, so I hope you will like them. My first king book was " IT '', That book has had me afraid of clowns ever since!!

What's going to be in the Post???

* First one will be about his early work's ( Think Carrie ).. Let's say the 70's and 80's.
* Second one will be about the 90's ( I think some of his best work was done in the 90's )
* Third will be about 00's

Keep in mind, that this is a lot of ground to cover!! So a lot of research will be going into it.

In the mean time you can keep with all things King related on twitter!! One of the best to follow for King news is @LiljasLibrary !! The Link to their website is Here . They even have a podcast all about King.

Weekend Update plus Late Friday Reads


Hey, Y'all!!! Yesterday was my birthday, so I have been busy this weekend. Didn't get much reading done, but did get two newish great Horror book's.

The First, which will be my #FridayReads for this week is???


The Book that I will be reading this week is Called ( NOS4A2 ) and It's by: Joe Hill. Just in case you didn't know Joe is Stephen King's son.

Joe's Twitter: @joe_hill


About the book:

Victoria McQueen has a secret gift for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. On her Raleigh Tuff Burner bike, she makes her way to a rickety covered bridge that, within moments, takes her wherever she needs to go, whether it’s across Massachusetts or across the country.

Charles Talent Manx has a way with children. He likes to take them for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the NOS4A2 vanity plate. With his old car, he can slip right out of the everyday world, and onto the hidden roads that transport them to an astonishing – and terrifying – playground of amusements he calls “Christmasland.”

Then, one day, Vic goes looking for trouble—and finds Manx. That was a lifetime ago. Now Vic, the only kid to ever escape Manx’s unmitigated evil, is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx never stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. He’s on the road again and he’s picked up a new passenger: Vic’s own son.


In other New's:

Actor/Director: Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in his apartment this morning. 

R.I.P Dusty from Twister. 


Y'all will know him as!!!



Plutarch Heavensbee from the Hunger Games as the Head Game Maker in Catching Fire. 

Well that's it for now!!

P.s: Stay tuned in this week. I have have a weekly watched ( movies ) post planed as well, as a post about my favorite Philip Seymour Hoffman movies.
