Dead Zone

All the Campbell information is now in the Longbottom paper. Yay! This weekend I’m off to Minneapolis, so I’m not sure how much I’ll get done while I’m up there. I’m game to work on paper a bit, but if not, it’ll wait.

Book group the second is this coming Monday, June 9th. I’d like to say that I’d be live blogging with Stephen King on hand, but I didn’t get around to asking him if he was up for it. However, as usual, before I get the group’s opinions posted, I’m going to mention a few things about The Dead Zone.

I’ve read two of King’s other books: The Stand, which sort of stalled at the ending for me, and It which I really dug until we hit the gratuitous kid sex that really came from no where. I am pleased to report that The Dead Zone delivers what the other two books didn’t.

Both of those are about as close as he gets to actual love stories, and the horror alongside the sentiment is quite lovely. BoB has a really interesting ghost story subplot and was reminiscent of Rebecca. LS is the only one I can think of by him with a female protagonist. I'm pretty sure it's also the only one he's dedicated to his wife (she's always thanked, but this was the dedication).
Can you tell who my favorite writer is? =)

Both sound very interesting.
