The Dark Tower is the most desired work of Stephen King for fans waited for it about a quarter of a century. The author started the series in 1982 and the first story was The Gunslinger. And the final story has the same name The Dark Tower which brings the series to the end. The story has absorbed all the talent of these works of the author.
In the Song of Susannah Father Callahan, Jake Chambers and Susannah was left within the confines of the Dixie Pig because Mia controlled the body of Susannah to give birth. And this child appeared a biological one of Roland of Gilead and Susannah Dean as well as genes of the main villain the Crimson King.
Mia has separated from Susannah and turned into a human form and she gives birth to a child who then turns into a multi-legged spider and starts to cannibalize the mother. This child tries to kill the rest inhabitants of the Dixie Pig until Susannah wounds this spider form by shooting and hurting one of the legs.
The novel and the characters come to the end and these characters are ticked off like ninepins which are knocked about by the bowling ball.
Maybe the fans of King´s works will be a little bit confused and disappointed reading the final ending of the series which have more questions than answers and solutions of the series. And there may be complaints that the readers were cheated. But the other may argue that the conclusion was the only way that the series turned out lights.
King´s end is open and he will not reopen the last chapter and conclusion of the tale of Roland. Even the author notifies the readers to close the novel before the end as if King is not sure of his conclusion.
Nevertheless The Dark Tower finishes all series which have went through twenty years of its making and have a great success.
The Dark Half
Posted in Stephen King books
After reading The Dark Half by Stephen King, it is worth thinking about, whether this novel was a farewell to Richard Bachman, King´s pen name, or not. The novel does not have an image of Richard Bachman; however, it is dedicated to him indeed. Comparing The Regulators by Bachman and Desperation by King, you should concern, whether King really struggles with the alter ego within pages of novel.
The Dark Half is one of the best novels of Stephen King. It is a story about a writer, Thad Beaumont. After medical examination, a tumor was detected within his brain and he goes into surgical procedure. Tumor was remains of not completely absorbed twin during prenatal development. Reading the novel suggests that this is a psychotic diary of King´s creative life. Events described in the novel occur in a city of Ludlow, those who read King´s Pet Sematary find this story is very familiar.
Novels written by Thad have a partial success. However, he writes the stories under his pen name George Stark that have truly prominence. The shocking and violent novels written under his pen name are swallowed up by the readership. When it is learned that Thad Beaumont is Stark, he and his wife decide to organize a fake funeral for the apparently unreal Stark. However, Thad has not a hunch that George Stark is alive and is ready to combat to preserve his existence.
Thad and Stark´s DNA and appearance coincide completely. The same literary method King practices in other stories Secret Window and Secret Garden in Four Past Midnight. Therefore, when Stark goes on a murdering everyone, he perceives, is responsible for his “death”, Thad is under suspicion. Contrasting Mort Rainey of Secret Window, Secret Garden, and Thad understands that Stark is a threat to his career and his life. He decides to stop Stark once for all.
King´s own dreads of writing injecting into a dramatic and dark story make The Dark Half is a true accomplishment for him. It is not the issue here whether things end happily or not. One will be rewarded reading The Dark Half. Nevertheless, the reward might be too far from what one would expect it to be.
Pet Sematary
Posted in Stephen King books
On Writing also contains description how many horrors have been made on the basis of King´s fears. King turns to the story about an incident which has happened with his child. His own child has almost had an incident and King could not be silent and he was thinking what would happen if the child had been hit. What would be the life after the incident? What would he do?
He sees pet cemetery and that is the inspiration for the story Pet Sematary. This story is not the only one which tells about animals. Cujo is a horrific novel of 1981 about animal which became mad.
Nut in comparison with Cujo Pet Sematary is beyond maniacal pets. The story Pet Sematary is a lesson of sorrow and death. Neighbor Jud introduces a young father Louis to some ancient graveyard which has some strange powers and there the buried come back again to life. Then their cat has a tragic end and Louis decides to follow the instructions of Jud and he buries their favorite cat in this graveyard.
He does not believe in it until their cat comes back home alive but the cat differs and Louis understands the strange powers of the graveyard. His little son Cage meets tragically with an accident. A truck hits a little boy on the highway near their house. Louis gives way to despair and he buries his son at this ancient graveyard.
As their cat, Cage comes back home. But before his return he was a sweet little boy and now Cage is a demonic child. Louis and Rachel, his wife, cannot stand him and Lois must return his son to the other world, world of death.
This story keeps the reader´s attention till the last words on the page. Pet Semetary is an excellent King´s job and real fans of the horror genre will enjoy it.
Blood and Smoke
Posted in Stephen King books
It is not surprise to find the novels of Stephen King in audio format. But the first time the author published some works only in audio format. It is known that King liked to record audio book of Bag of Bones and then he released Blood and Smoke only in this format.
Blood and Smoke includes 3 stories “1408”, “In the Deathroom” and “Lunch at the Gotham Café”. These stories have one common feature – smoking. Stephen King has concentrated on this bad habit not for the first time. For example, “Quitters, Inc.” which is in Night Shift collection is a short story about smoking and the smokers were able to see demons when they had nicotine in the blood stream.
The story “Lunch at the Gotham Café” was published at first but then it was added to the audio book. “In the Deathroom” and “1408” were made especially for the audio book. The story “Lunch at the Gotham Café” is weird reminiscent of the Rod Serling stories which belong to the classic Twilight Zone series. Steve Davis, the main character, meets his wife to finalize their divorce. Steve understands that there is something strange in the Gotham Café. Without this strange thing it would not be a real story of King.
The story “1404” corresponds to the classic one. Mike Enslin is a main character who is a writer. He braves to settle in the hotel room 1408 in the Dolphin Hotel. This room is famous for its suicides, and unlucky and strange circumstances occur with people who assigned this hotel room.
And the main character of the story “In the Deathroom” is Fletcher who experiences his antagonists’ torture and listeners wait for King’s words as the main hero craves for his last cigarette. These stories are a good example of King’s talent and the listeners will never guess the end of the story.
Riding The Bullet
Posted in Stephen King books
Riding the Bullet has been released in digital form like The Plant. This novella was the first try of publishing in the Internet and now it is included in the collection Everything´s Eventual. Unlike The Plant Riding the Bullet has been made for movie like the other fictional works of the author, for example The Stand and Nightmares and Dreamscapes.
The main character is Alan Parker. He is a college student who must go to his mother after the fatal stroke. It is difficult to call the journey but most likely the destination, and then Riding the Bullet delivers.
Alan concentrates on his destination and his mother, her health state when he arrives there. Thinking of this he does not pay attention to the world around him when he goes to Lewiston, Maine. This journey is not good for him. But for readers it will be interesting.
He faces different drivers during his trip and sometimes these drivers are not so good and pleasant and Alan walks instead of driving. Then he meets ne more driver George Staub. And this name is familiar for Alan, he has came across on the tombstone with this name. This moment turns the story from the tale about young man who wants to go to his dying mother into the tale about young man who struggles with unknown fear.
It turns out that George knows more about life of Alan as for a stranger. George drives to Lewiston and he offers Alan to make a choice. Alan should let him take to the underworld or loss his own mother. Alan faces the emotion which comes into his heart. He is afraid of death and loves his mother. The feeling was strange.
The author has made a classic Twilight Zone which is written by Ray Bradbury and Richard Matheson in 50th. However, Riding the Bullet is worth reading and it will keep a reader in suspense until the last page of the story.

Cycle of the Werewolf
Posted in Stephen King books
If you do not read Stephen King´s works but you have decided to begin doing it, and if you start from Cycle of the Werewolf, you would be confused. You will not understand why King is so popular and there are so many fans of his novels. But Cycle of the Werewolf is not as bad as you would think.
In fact it includes the worlds of pulp, art and literature. This novel begins with a calendar. Yes, with a calendar. It should be filled with one illustration by Berni Wrightson, a comic book artist, and a short content by King.
As any writer the author could not limit himself to 500 words and as a result now we have the book Cycle of the Werewolf. The difference of these short stories is that events take place at the same location in comparison with, for example, Skeleton Crew and Night Shift.
Cycle of the Werewolf is added by the talent of the comic artist and that is why the story may be considered as forgettable. The story takes place in non-existent city Tarker´s Mills, Maine. But this state should be obliged to King because with the help of his novels it has become the most visited place of literary based tourism.
According to the classic horror film about werewolf a maniacal beast attacks the city and no one is able to stop it. This is a standard script but it is interesting and funny, and sometimes confused. The chapters are short and they do not like the real chapter of the book, and that is why the reader may feel lack of information.
The fans of King´s works will enjoy Cycle of the Werewolf, and it will be amused and interesting to read it.

The Colorado Kid
Posted in Stephen King books
The Colorado Kid is something different from the normal horror story. This story was written for the Hard Case Crime and it was finishing the epic series of The Dark Tower. The novel was published only in a paper form and was favor for the pulp novel of the 50s and 60s.
Stephen does not try to discover something new in the hardboiled mystery by telling the story of investigation of the body of unknown man in Maine. It is not the first novel where King tells about the murder which is covers by some investigations. For example, in Delores Claiborne there is a woman under the investigation for the death of her employer. But the fans of the author may be cold when reading the Colorado Kid.
King is a real master of the horror novel and he has connected the genres of drama and horror, and the common novel turns into a horrific. But The Colorado Kid without some elements of horror and drama is not so effective as the other novels. It is not clear why King has written it in such way. It may be because of the shortness of the story or the author was in a hurry.
The story does not differ from the classic storyline which tells about a new investigator and old investigation of the unknown body. However, the reader does not get the full information about this body throughout the novel. You will get the story which does not rise the old story of Cold Case.
Still the fans may be curious how the author uses the mystery without any supernatural things and some evil corners of a human. But these elements hide the whole fate of the novel and the novel may be forgotten among the other works of King.
