About the Book:
For fifty years, Stephen King has thrilled audiences with his novels, stories, and nonfiction.

* a history of how King's novels became bestsellers
* in-depth analyses of every book King has ever written
* how technology has impacted and interpreted King's work, from video games like The Mist to eBook exclusives like "Mile 81" and "Ur"
* a guided tour of King's comics, from Creepshow to The Dark Tower and American Vampire
* information on unpublished, uncollected, and hard-to-find Stephen King short stories and poems
* essays on King at the movies, King on audio, and a whole lot more!
Packed with information, A Good Story and Good Words is a fresh, fun, and exciting journey through the many weird and wondrous worlds of Stephen King!

Next for King is a non-supernatural suspense novel, Mister Mercedes, about a deranged terrorist with a bomb. He says he began it before the Boston Marathon bombing, but it's "too creepily close for comfort."

Empire: I'm sure your vow of silence will cover it, but...Stephen King himself appears in The Dark Tower. Have you thought about how you might tackle that?
Howard: Yes! And I will admit that Stephen said, "I don't have to be in this." But that's not to say that he won't be!

Under the Dome drops in ratings
Posted: September 11, 2013, 10:28
_
After watching the top new summer program to come along in years fall to season lows on Monday, the Eye announced Tuesday that the season’s penultimate episode will be rebroadcast Saturday night at 9.
“Under the Dome” had been gaining steam in the last two weeks — thanks in part to the end of the Time Warner blackout — but last night’s episode started about 25 minutes late in the East and Central time zones, thus keeping some viewers from being able to watch. According to Nielsen, Monday’s episode averaged a 2.1 rating/6 share in adults 18-49 and 9.72 million viewers overall, down week-to-week by 22% in the demo and by 13% in total viewers.
CBS had aired the men’s final of the U.S. Open earlier Monday evening, and coverage didn’t wrap until 8:55 p.m. ET. The net opted to stick with its planned comedy repeats, meaning “The Big Bang Theory” did not conclude until about 10:25. The show aired at its regularly scheduled time in the West.

Get creative and win Doctor Sleep
Posted: September 10, 2013, 00:21
_
OK, I told you that I have four audio copies of Doctor Sleep to give out. Two copies on CD and two on PM3 CDs and I have been thinking of a suitable contest for a while now but with two other contest with Doctor Sleep prizes it’s hard. So, I have decided to do it the easy way…for me. I will, between now and September 23rd, give out these to someone who writes something on the facebook site, on twitter, in a comment to something posted here on the site (don't have to be a comment on this article) or in an email to me (the address can be found on the site).And I’m not sure who (or why) I’ll give it to. When something feels right I’ll just pick the one who wrote it as a winner. So, get creative. The only rule is that there are no rules. You can write whatever you want (preferable nice though) and I’ll just pick the winners as I see them. Might be tomorrow, might be on September 23 or somewhere in between. So, get creative!
Oh, and you can enter as many times as you like and you can live anywhere in the world. Everyone can enter. One thing though, please keep an eye out for my messages. If you are a winner I will contact you in the same forum as your message was posted, i.e. if you win for something posted on facebook that is where I’ll let you know.
Good Luck!

Episode 21: Ghost Brothers Trapped Under The Dome
With your host Hans Lilja of Lilja's Library and Lou Sytsma.
Big changes for our 21st podcast!
New podcast host and a new name for the podcast. Formerly known as The Lilja & Lou Podcast we decided to make the name more reflective of what it is really about - Stephen King. So the podcast will be known as The Stephen King Podcast going forward. Simple. Direct. And hopefully it will become more visible to Stephen King fans everywhere.
Also, since this host is more expencive then the previous one we'd like to ask anyone who can and feel they want to help us out to do so. We will still continue doing the podcast even if we get no donations but it would certainly make both our lives a bit easier if we do.
We have set up a PayPal account for this purpose so anyone who has a $ (or a few) that you feel you can spare, we’d really appreciate it. Send your donations to LiljaLouPodcast@gmail.com.
This episode features in depths reviews of the Stephen King / John Coguar Mellencamp collaboration - The Ghost Brothers of Darkland County.
We also review the first ten episodes of the hit CBS summer TV series Under The Dome based on the King book of the same name.
We hope you will all enjoy this episode and as usual we want to hear from you, good or bad, we want it all!

Last 3 episodes of Under the Dome

More on my (and Lou’s) thoughts on Under the Dome in the next podcast. Oh, and I might end up having to apologize to one of the actors... Look for it soon!
Under the Dome's fourth hand has been revealed!
After it was pieced together that Junior (Alexander Koch) also had seizures growing up — coupled with the fact that his mother drew him as a child with pink stars — he joined Norrie (Mackenzie Lintz), Joe (Colin Ford) and Angie (Britt Robertson) at the mini-dome to discover that he is, in fact, the fourth hand that unlocks it. As the quartet placed their hands on the mysterious mini-dome, pink stars showered around them, at which point Junior says what every viewer is thinking: "But what does it mean?"
"The last three episodes dive deeply into exploring that question," executive producer Neal Baer tells TVGuide.com. "The power of the four hands will soon be revealed."
These four could be the key to uncovering the mystery of the dome — and in turn, the mini-dome, which is now home to a caterpillar that will seemingly turn into a Monarch butterfly. But is the caterpillar the Monarch who will be crowned? (It's all a bit confusing, no?) "All we know is that the caterpillar has the potential to turn into a Monarch butterfly," Baer says. "So the question is how this Monarch butterfly, trapped under the mini-dome, will lead to the crowning of 'The Monarch.'"
Only 3 ep left of season 1

“We can say by the end of the first season, you’ll start to get some answers – where this came from, and who’s behind this,” Vaughan said.
They now have three episodes left to do just that...
