  • By Stephen King (Discussion Questions)
    11/22/1963 By Stephen King (Discussion Questions) About the Author: Stephen King was born in Portland, Maine in 1947 and grew up in Durham, Maine. He attended the University of Maine at Orono, where he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper, The Maine Campus. He was also active in student politics, serving as a member of the Student Senate, and supporting the anti-war movement. King graduated from the University of Maine at Orono in 1970, with a B.A. in English. He married Tabitha Spruce in 1971. King sprang onto the literary scene with the publication of Carrie (Doubleday, 1974) which was later made into a movie. The success of Carrie allowed him to leave his high school teaching position and write full-time. Other bestselling novels followed including The Shining, The Stand and The Dead Zone. Stephen King is known as a prolific writer of horror, suspense, science fiction and fantasy. His books have sold more than 350 million copies worldwide and many of his literature has been adapted to the screen and television. As of 2011, he had written and published 49 novels, including seven under the pen name Richard Bachman, five non-fiction books, and nine collections of short stories. Book Summary: Winner, 2012 Thriller Award for Best Novel Dallas, 11/22/63: Three shots ring out. President John F. Kennedy is dead. Life can turn on a dime—or stumble into the extraordinary, as it does for Jake Epping, a high school English teacher in a Maine town. While grading essays by his GED students, Jake reads a gruesome, enthralling piece penned by janitor Harry Dunning: fifty years ago, Harry somehow survived his father’s sledgehammer slaughter of his entire family.

  • Stephen King's Vampire Kingdom. Supernatural EVIL and Human Evil
    Stephen King’s Vampire Kingdom. Supernatural EVIL and Human evil in TV adaptations of Salem’s Lot (1979, 2004) ‘Beneath the postcard camouflage there’s little good in small towns. Mostly boredom, interspersed with a dull, mindless, moronic evil’ (Salem’s Lot, 2004) First published in October 1975, Salem’s Lot is one of Stephen King’s most enduring novels. King critic Douglas Winter considers it ‘the single most influential of his books’ (1989:43), while screenwriter Peter Filardi, who would adapt it for TV in 2004, has described it as ‘a modern literary classic’ (Gross 2004: 10). Not only did the novel achieve longevity in its own right, but also the story of a small American community torn asunder by the arrival of a supernatural force became something of an archetypal Stephen King narrative to which he would return many times during his career. In Salem’s Lot the catalyst is the arrival of Kurt Barlow, an ancient European vampire, but in later works King has had the destructive force be extra-terrestrial (IT, 1985, The Tommyknockers, 1987 and Under the Dome, 2009), demonic (Needful Things, 1991), cosmic forces of fate (Insomnia, 1994) and inter-dimensional (‘The Mist’ 1980) Possibly because its structure became a King archetype, or due to its enduring appeal and the fact that it is one of King’s earliest works, Salem’s Lot is unusual in the canon of King adaptations by being adapted twice, once in 1979 and once in 2004. Both were miniseries for television, the first directed by Tobe Hooper and the second by Mikael Salomon.

  • Steven Peacock
    Peacock: 1 Two Kingdoms, Two Kings Steven Peacock This article compares two contemporary television dramas of the global age: the Danish miniseries Riget/The Kingdom (1997) and the US serial Kingdom Hospital (2004), or rather, to give the programme its full title, Stephen King’s Kingdom Hospital.1 The analysis considers both dramas as individual projects with distinct forms and concerns, but also explores the close relationship of the original Danish miniseries and the later US remodelling or ‘reimagining’, in terms of the effects of this transition. In particular, and following Glen Creeber’s work on the Danish miniseries in Serial Television,2 Riget is seen as deeply concerned with matters of national identity, of Denmark’s historical and cultural markers. Contrastingly, under the guidance of renowned horror writer Stephen King, Kingdom Hospital is understood to abandon the distinctively local, European considerations of Lars von Trier’s miniseries, in a search for global recognition. Latterly, the US serial extends beyond cultural theory to offer an alternative way of viewing King’s remake. While global in its reach and concerns, Kingdom Hospital relates to a particular national sensibility in its connections to American Transcendentalism and, in particular, displays evidence of Emersonian influence. A re-appraisal of Kingdom Hospital through its parallels with Ralph Waldo Emerson allows for a critical re-evaluation of this overlooked and undervalued television serial. First though, to retrace the rise of the original Kingdom: Riget is an eight-part miniseries (with a sequel released in 1997), created by the controversial self- appointed (or self-anointed) king of European art-house cinema Lars von Trier.

  • Identifying First Editions (Updated 2018) the Table Below Lists the First Trade
    Identifying first editions (updated 2018) Compiled by Bev Vincent with the assistance of materials made available by Rich DeMars, John Mastrocco, Steve Oelrich and Shaun Nauman. E-mail corrections or questions to [email protected] The table below lists the first trade edition identification criteria for each of Stephen King's books. The early Doubleday books all say "First Edition" explicitly on the copyright page (CP). There are other identifiers for these books as well. For books that contain strings of numbers to denote the printing, the important consideration is the presence of the numeral 1 in that string, regardless of the format of the numbers. Some possible variations of the printing numbers are: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 All three of these denote a first edition. The numeral 1 will be removed for a second printing. Black House is the exception. First edition copies state "First Edition" on the copyright page and the number sequence will be "2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3". Trim size is given because Book Club editions are often smaller than trade editions. Also, Book Club edition dust jackets (DJ) are occasionally found on first editions to replace lost or damaged jackets. Book Club edition dust jackets are easily identified because they do not have a price marked inside the front cover. Later printing trade edition dust jackets will often have a different price from what is found in the table.
