Readers name Stephen King among authors they've read 20+ books by
We Have Always Lived in the Castle, Shirley Jackson Wilding, Melanie Tem Books of Blood, Clive Barker Tender Is the Flesh, Augustina Bazterrica The Only Good Indians, Stephen Graham Jones IT, Stephen King Negative Space, B. R. Yeager
go loud4The Only Good Indians is probably the only book where I cried during the *acknowledgements*?? Jones is absolutely something else
Homegrove3I thought my head was going to explode when I read We Have Always Lived in a Castle for the first time. Second time too. Jackson was such a master of a perfect opening too with this and Hill House.
gengarro1Tender Is The Flesh and The Only Good Indians are the two here I haven't read; guess I have my next reads lined up
ISO sci-fi, fantasy, spec fic, and/or horror books or authors who can deliver X-Files or Stephen King vibes… but in a less problematic and more leftist, queer, radical power analysis kind of way… For feeds: 💙📚 🪐📚 🩸📚
Bilbo Yaga3Would not be opposed to similar tv or movie recs! But mostly want books, including graphic novels!
Elise2Seanan McGuire ticks all those boxes!
Dalillama1Victor LaValle, T Kingfisher's horror (her fantasy is also excellent but stylistically different), Tobias Buckell, NK Jemisin, Nalo Hopkinson, Tananrive Due
Tiffany Knoell, Ph.D.1Look for anything by Benjamin Percy @benjaminpercy.bsky.social
The Terror - Dan Simmons Haunting of Hill House - Shirley Jackson It - Stephen King The Auctioneer - Joan Sampson Let the Right One In - John Ajvide Lindqvist Tell Me I'm Worthless - Alison Rumfitt
Blueroses784It by Stephen King was the first of his novels that I read. We were moving my sister and her husband into their first home and his aunt had a copy. I was 14. Locked myself in a room with snacks and literally read it in one day. I did nothing else that day. It was bliss.
Anonymous Wendigo2Funny, I do Friday quizzes for my team and one of the questions today was about the Franklin Expedition. No one got it right. Told them about the TV series inspired by it. I’ll let them know it was a book first!
karichap2I’ve never read IT…I feel kind of ashamed of myself 😳
izzylegs1I’ve read them all except from Joan Samson’s The Auctioneer, I’ll have to check that out.
Disturbing, but also kind of heartening, to see that the guy who's been posting about Stephen King being John Lennon's killer since at least 2001 (much longer on paper) updated his website this week and STILL hates the coward Paul McCartney. Support independent journalism!
Maxwell Yezpitelok7Yikes, I followed him for writing hundreds of thousands of pages accusing Stephen King of murdering John Lennon across 45 years, didn't know about his antisemitic van. Unfollowing now.
ccantor.bsky.social4Saw this guy ranting about Lennon/King on the Berkeley campus in the late 80s/early 90s -- then some time later next to his van festooned with the most rancid "exterminate the vermin" antisemitic posters.
