Sleeping Beauties | Stephen King, Owen King
post image
Pickpick

Sleeping Beauties can be a difficult read for those of a gentle constitution. This is a book that is just as much about the violence that men inflict on women as the violence that humans inflict on one another, as well as on the natural world. These are subjects of frequent discussion in 2024 and, as hopeless as any conclusions drawn can feel, this book ultimately settles on an uncertain optimism that nevertheless inspires hope. 5/5

This is probably one of my favorites by Stephen King. Some of the scenes in this book will stick in my head for the rest of my life and haunt me. This was such an excellent book and so underrated. I remember watching the movie when it came out and reading the book years ago but I am glad I revisited and read it again to remind myself of the story. Definitely one of my top favorites by him.

TieDyeDude This may have been the first King book I read. My mom had the original 6 volumes (which I stole when I moved out and still have), which made it a little less intimidating. 23h
Victoriahoperose @TieDyeDude absolutely!! I completely agree. 22h
ElizaMarie One of my favorites! How was the audio? I had read it in the original monthly novellas. But.. this is one I want to revisit. 20h

Victoriahoperose @ElizaMarie absolutely 💯💯💯 recommend the audio. I felt like I was totally in it again. It was excellent. Highly recommend. 20h
RaeLovesToRead Haven't read the book, but there is a scene in the film that was so powerfully upsetting that I can't watch it again 18h
Victoriahoperose @RaeLovesToRead yes. That was hard and it‘s crazy because I was reading it and forgot about that part and then when it happened I felt so uneasy and upset by it, not gonna lie. It definitely got to me. Super disturbing. I didn‘t realize how much I forgot about until I was rereading it!! (edited) 18h

I love Stephen King- and my late 80‘s reading were full of King, Koontz and Saul. Margaret Atwood (also a favorite) wrote the intro to the 50th anniversary edition- and the Times shares it- It is filled with nuances and information that only make me love Stephen King even more.

AmyG Wow…..I feel old. I read this when it was released as I was a huge teen horror fan. (edited) 2d

Stand: Soul Survivors | Stephen King, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa

The graphics are getting a little more cartoonish but the story is a lot better than the illustrations. In this volume, we read how the Trashcan man get to Vegas to meet Flagg, Mother Abigail disappears, the main characters form a ad hoc committee and we see Harold getting worse with his mind. Love the story and will continue with the graphic novel series.

TieDyeDude Nice. I have the full series, but I haven't started it yet. I only just read the book a couple years ago, wanted a little distance before diving back into that world. 4d
