WHAT!!? That kind of sucks. I liked how they ended Black House. Jack Sawyer deserves a rest for God's sake. Let him hang in the territories with his woman happily ever after and shit...

I first started reading the Necroscope series when I randomly picked up the book "The Last Aerie" in the earlyish 90s. Which, sorta comes after that series, but is a continuation of it. It's Harry's sons. I was a little lost because in that subseries it was #2 book. And in the whole series it was #7.

I strongly recommend buying ALL the books and going from Necroscope series (all five) to every following series (vampire world), (lost years), (e-branch).

Easily my favorite books in genres of horror, sci-fi.
Take a picture, trick. I'm on a boat, bitch.

More Talisman 3

Posted: May 6, 2009, 22:58:15 | Section: Book » The Talisman 3
In an upcoming interview in Cemetery Dance #61 (shipping this summer) Peter Straub talks about the third Talisman book.

Cemetery Dance: Are you going to do a third book with Stephen King?

Peter Straub: We plan to. We were going to start right about now, but King got sidetracked by a Broadway musical that he was writing with John Mellencamp. So that's been taking shape. And I think they were having out-of-town tryouts this autumn. Then we'll see what happens. But at some point we'll get back to it, because we have to. It's like two-thirds of a long, long story, and the other part really should be done.


And there goes The Worlds' as we know it... :(

They better throw poor ol Travelin Jack a few bones in the 3rd one.
Maybe he will be king of the territories with Sophia (I think that was her name)
though the way Parkus described what Jack would have to do to flip now (trying to stay vague to avoid spoilers:)) , could make a really, really cool story.

Wow! Am I the only one alarmed at the imminent celluloid blasphemy of all 3,812 pages? (according to books 1-7 on my shelf)

We will see if he even gets to it within the next 10 years. I checked Abrams' IMDB page and he has quite a bit on his plate with Dark Tower fairly far out
J.J. Abrams
IMO, if he does it right he will develop it as a producer and have other differant directors do each film like the original Star Wars movies or Harry Potter.
Stephan King also said in an interview that he usually doesn't give a shit what Hollywood does to his books, but he would be far more involved with a Dark Tower movie adaptation.

It isn't the 'who' that bothers me, just the 'at all' if King isn't doing the screenplay himself.

There's a ginormous (and pretty fucking uninspired) thread over on King's site about this topic. I've skimmed through about the first 10 pages and someone suggested Bruce Campbell as Roland and I just laughed my ass off. I HIGHLY disagree, but it struck me as funny anyhow.

He's a little hit and miss on writing screenplays. Mostly miss. I say hand it over to someone else and keep final approval.

It would be interesting to see if he could pull off a serious character like that, but it does seem a little ridiculous

You know, now that I think about it, the world is missing all of the Lee Van Cleefs and Clint Eastwood-esqe grizzled, wind burnt cowboy type actors these days.
Who would be good to play Roland?
Some pink oily skinned LA good boy with a little dirt painted on my face by the make-up department? They better cast real good for this film

You already know my thoughts on these things better than most anyone, but again, Sai King will ALWAYS be my top pick. Period.

I've heard that's really good although I can't remember if Hodge told me that or my brother-in-law. (I'm on day 8 of a 9 day week and I haven't slept worth shit. My brain isn't even remotely functioning properly.)

I finally started The Widows of Eastwick last night though. :)

If you ever get the chance to read Swan Song, I would definately recommend it to you. Pretty all of McCammon's stuff is awesome. I like his short story book called "Blue World", which is great. He puts so much detail in his work that it makes u feel like your really in the story. I love it..

I have had swan song on my book shelf for years and years and never even picked it up but to move it.

I hate to admit this, I read twilight in one sitting less than 6 hours.
I enjoyed it for candy cane and gumdrop vampire romance.

I even bought the second book.

Shit.

The Widows of Eastwick was good and I just busted into Jacqueline Susann's old-school Valley of The Dolls that I've been meaning to check out forever. Has anyone else read this one?

The cashier at Borders told me she read it in highschool. :D
