The Sparrows Are Flying Again this week in the Stephen Kingcast! In this week's review, I look at 1989's fictional metatextual story of alter-egos and twins.  With The Dark Half, King summons the ghost of Richard Bachman whose alter ego, George Stark, cuts a bloody swath through the Northeast on his way to reclaim his life from author Thad Beaumont.   Fans of Needful Things will know that this als...

Carrie White. Jack Torrance. Cujo. Barlow. Todd Bowden. Christine. The Man In Black. Randall Flagg. Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Frank Dodd. Greg Stillson. John Rainbird. Morgan Sloat. Sunlight Gardener. Stephen King has made a career out of creating memorable, terrifying villains.  But with Annie Wilkes, he brings the humanity down to a very real, and very dangerous level.  It's every author's wo...

At the original time of this recording, the movies had not yet been made and Bill Skarsgard had not put his stamp on the character. Now that w...
