201 – Stephen King & Touching Other Worlds

Send us a text Stephen King is back!   What other intro do you need?   Okay, fine. He talks to me about the stories behind the stories in his new collection, You Like it Darker. I had the audacity to ask him “where he got some of his ideas.”    He also updates us on the potential of a third Jack Sawyer book, to follow The Talisman and Black House. He hints at what’s next from him, and Holly Gibney. He gives a perspective on his view from the top of the horror pyramid, and I finally get to ask him about a beloved-yet-underappreciated novel.   Is that enough for you, or do I need go on?   Thought not…   Thanks for listening – and enjoy.   Other books mentioned: Waiting for Winter (1966), by John O’ Hara Horror Movie (2024), by Paul Tremblay A Head Full of Ghosts (2015), by Paul Tremblay Survivor Song (2020), by Paul Tremblay Fever House (2023), by Keith Rosson Nestlings (2023), by Nat Cassidy Come With Me (2021), by Ronald Malfi American Rapture (2024), by C.J.
