I liked the first 3 books. Wasn't too impressed with the sequels.

Yeah, I feel like the book was so good, but after that, it went downhill..

It's gonna be movies

Clearly the first 3 were the best but I didn't mind the spinoff as much as others.

That one was from the book?!?!

Stephen King has a new release!

Summary:

From #1 New York Times bestselling author, legendary storyteller, and master of short fiction Stephen King comes an extraordinary collection of four new and compelling novellas—Mr. Harrigan’s Phone, The Life of Chuck, Rat, and the title story If It Bleeds—each pulling readers into intriguing and frightening places.

A collection of four uniquely wonderful long stories, including a stand-alone sequel to the No. 1 bestseller The Outsider.

News people have a saying: 'If it bleeds, it leads'. And a bomb at Albert Macready Middle School is guaranteed to lead any bulletin.

Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency is working on the case of a missing dog - and on her own need to be more assertive - when she sees the footage on TV. But when she tunes in again, to the late-night report, she realizes there is something not quite right about the correspondent who was first on the scene. So begins 'If It Bleeds' , a stand-alone sequel to the No. 1 bestselling The Outsider featuring the incomparable Holly on her first solo case - and also the riveting title story in Stephen King's brilliant new collection.

Dancing alongside are three more wonderful long stories from this 'formidably versatile author' (The Sunday Times) - 'Mr Harrigan's Phone', 'The Life of Chuck' and 'Rat' . All four display the richness of King's storytelling with grace, humor, horror and breathtaking suspense. A fascinating Author's Note gives us a wonderful insight into the origin of each story and the writer's unparalleled imagination.

The novella is a form King has returned to over and over again in the course of his amazing career, and many have been made into iconic films, If It Bleeds is a uniquely satisfying collection of longer short fiction by an incomparably gifted writer.

Star Wars: Queen’s Shadow novel is available as free download

Quote:

From StarWars.com:

"Now this is worthy of thunderous applause.

In celebration of Star Wars Day, E.K. Johnston’s Queen’s Shadow will be available as free download from May 1 – 8. In the novel, Padmé Amidala, now a senator of Naboo, navigates the treacherous politics of the Galactic Senate and forges a new identity — beyond the queen’s shadow. Queen’s Shadow will be the subject of an upcoming installment of The Star Wars Show Book Club, and you can get your eBook copy right now at DisneyBooks.com.

“I’m so excited that we’re making Queen’s Shadow accessible as a free eBook, and that it will be a part of The Star Wars Show Book Club!” Johnston tells StarWars.com. “I love sharing this story, and this is a great chance for all of us to read (or reread!) it together.”

And there’s more good news for those passionate about Padmé: Johnston’s prequel, Queen’s Peril, arrives this summer and is available for pre-order now.

“I met Padmé two decades ago when I was a kid, and I admired her so much,” Johnston says. “Now that I’m older than she ever got to be, I think I admire her even more. She fought against unstoppable forces, and she never gave up on what she believed in. Sometimes she held on too tightly, but she always knew what she stood for, and that never stops being incredible.” [...]"

I read it's out in August. Think we'll me ok by then to have midnight release parties or will we still be social distancing?

**fly me to the moon** · 05-04-2020, 06:05 PM

I don't think that they would have people social as long it still be social-distancing since they want to continue like that until next year..

Yes, it's officially set for an August 4th release!
