Tak! In September of 1996, Stephen King published two novels on the same day.  One was published under the pen name Richard Bachman I'm a wolf and the other, under his own publishing name, is the terrifying novel about faith v. despair in a small desert town: Desperation.  How does it fare?  Find out here at the Stephen Kingcast!

This week, I examine Stephen King's most underrated novel, The Regulators. Published on the same day as Desperation, this entry, under the pen name Richard Bachman, is one of King's most high concept novels.  Perfectly skewering suburban life as well as offering up commentary on living with a difficult child, The Regulators is an action sci-fi with satirical horror elements that combine to make th...

With Insomnia, King introduces us to the big bad of his multiverse, The Crimson King.  He's a character whose legend will cast many of Stephen King's future works in a scarlet shadow.  This bonus episode analyzes the character as he's presented here in contrast to when we see him in The Dark Tower series.   Also in this episode, I place the Insomnia itself into context of the greater Dark Tower se...

It's one of my favs! But does it have a good ending? Find out this week!

This is a big one, guys!  Insomnia was the first novel that Stephen King had published after I had become a Stephen King fan.  Nightmares and Dreamscapes might have been the first short story collection, but this is the first, full-blown novel that I had to look forward to, and I honestly think that Stephen King wrote it specifically for me.  Why?  1) It takes place in Derry, the city of his 1986...

In this week's review, I look at a little known Stephen King adaptation of a short story from his Nightmares and Dreamscapes publication, the Miguel Ferrer-starring vehicle: The Night Flier.   Starring Lloyd Henries himself, the classic character actor, Miguel Ferrer, we follow the escapades of sleazy tabloid reporter Richard Dees as he tries to track down the killer of a series of airport murders...

For me, Nightmares and Dreamscapes was Stephen King's first new book that he published after I had become a Stephen King fan.  I distinctly remember seeing the image of the striking front cover in the grocery store, picking it off the shelves and taking it home.  How does it hold up against his previous short story collections, Night Shift and Skeleton Crew?  Find out this week on the Stephen King...

In this episode, I take a look at the Kathy Bates-starring adaptation of King's seminal novel.  She has already embodied one of King's other classic characters, Annie Wilkes from Misery, and her casting as Dolores herself makes perfect sense.  But does it make a perfect movie?   As always, write in at stephenkingcast@yahoo.com Follow me on Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook and Bluesky.
