Related: What Stephen King Thinks Of Every Adaptation (Movies & TV Shows)įor now, King fans only have Nightmares & Dreamscapes to watch, which aired on TNT in the summer of 2006. Yet despite Hollywood's renewed willingness to snap up any King project they can, a new King anthology still hasn't been greenlit. King himself is also a likeable, interesting speaker and general personality, and would make an excellent host for such a show if he saw fit to do it, perhaps explaining the story's inspiration after it had concluded. But Stephen King, writing to beat the devil, will do your dreaming for you.The fact that there's only ever been one anthology show created to adapt King's work exclusively is another surprise, as again, he has enough worthwhile short stories to power a decade's worth of 13-episode seasons, and that's being conservative. Fair warning: You will lose a good deal of sleep. In story after story, several published here for the first time, he will take you to places you’ve never been before, places that are both dark and vividly illuminated. There’s something here for readers of every stripe and predilection–classic tales of the macabre and the monstrous, cutting-edge explorations of the borderlands between good and evil, brilliant pastiches of Chandler and Conan Doyle, even a teleplay and a non-fiction bonus, a heartfelt piece of Little League baseball that first appeared in The New Yorker. The long reach of Stephen King’s imagination and the no-holds-barred force of his storytelling have never been so richly demonstrated. What does it all mean? What else could it mean? First there was Night Shift (1978), then Skeleton Crew (1985), and now Stephen King is back with a third collection of stories–a vast, many-chambered cave of a volume, with passages leading every which way to hell.
Meanwhile the legend of Castle Rock returns. Flies settle and die on an old pair of sneakers in New York, and the Nevada desert swallows a Cadillac.
