"I promise to rip the smooth, white skin off American literature and expose the spreading tumor of spineless suburban mediocre fiction that is eating the weak, atrophied muscle of art and then to clean the wound I made with the chewing maggots of my words."

I read the review and I was wondering what you found disheartening about it. It sounded pretty positive to me. Of course I might have read it wrong because that sometimes happens with me.
Actually, you’re entirely right and I don’t even know what the hell I could have been reading to think that it was negative.
I’m retarded.
No It happens to the best of us.
Thanks for the great blog btw
Judging by the trailer, this looks like it would’ve been more effective as a story.
I actually just listened to King read the story himself on his Blood & Smoke audio book and it is fantastic. It would be almost impossible to translate much of the original story to the screen, as half its length is just build up to his actual entering of the room, but the alterations clear in the trailer seem to compliment, rather than detract.
Should be a very interesting watch all the same.
I’d love to hear that. I’ve not read the story so would defo want to do that first, plus it’s the only way to make a judgement really. I guess I don’t feel so hopeful also because obviously of the track record of SK adaptations. There certainly have been some turkey’s.
