Duma Key hits hard for Christopher, in ways that we discuss in depth on this episode. Thanks to Christopher for coming on and talking about this slice of what he has dubbed 'beach-horror', and please check out his podcast at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chronscast/ and the message board at https://www.sffchronicles.com/.

Episode Forty-Two - Stand By Me w/James Michels (writer 'The Melody of Shattered Gold') 51:05

۴ weeks پیش51:05

51:05

Welcome back to the Constant reader Podcast, and thanks for bearing with us during our long hiatus. We have gathered up quite a few of our favorite repeat guests for 2025 though, so i am sure you will forgive us. We have lined up Kim C from the year of underrated Stephen King podcast with another step towards the Dark Tower. The gentlemen from King Con will be giving a report on how their convention on Stephen King, the first of its type, went back in October, and what you might expect from them in the future. Plus Andy Stanton will be back to help me sort out the End of the World As We Know It, the upcoming short story collection based in the world of King's The Stand. Plus we have some new guests, including some big names I can’t reveal just yet. Today’s guest is one those old friends, James Michels. James was on the show a couple of years ago to talk about The Shawshank Redemption, his own work in the prison industry, and his career as crime writer. We discussed a series of short stories, Life’s Dark Corners, that i urge you to seek out. Today however, he is here to discuss The Melody of Shattered Glass, an ambitious epic novel that depicts the fates of the Oro crime family, one of the last bastions of a mafia that is struggling to identify exactly what it is, and what it stands for in the 21st century. But first, James wanted to talk about Stand by Me, Rob Reiner’s adaptation of King’s novella The Body. It features an incredible cast, a killer soundtrack, a sharp script and has meant a lot of things to a lot of people. I refer to his new book as The Melody of Shattered Glass, when it is, in fact The Melody of Shattered Gold. A thousand apologies to James for misnaming this book, which has an incredible ending and unforgettable characters.....…

As the Dollar Baby experiment comes to its close, i would like to shine a spotlight on some of the more successful films made from the treasure trove of Stephen King's short stories. 'That Feeling' by Paul Inman expertly captures the dark, guilt-ridden themes of the 1998 short story 'That Feeling, You Can Only Say What it is in French'. It's being shown at October's King Con, and tickets for that can still be found here , but hurry, they're going fast.....…

This Autumn why not head to the Linq Hotel between the 24th-27th of October for the first-of-its-kind Stephen King Convention (AKA KingCON2024)? There is a great lineup of guests, including Mick Garris, Robert Kurtzman and two of my recent favorite authors, Jonathan Janz and Ronald Malfi. There are also a host of illustrators, artists, writers, collectors, vendors and (more importantly) many like-minded King fans all in one place. I was lucky enough to talk to two of the hard-working members of the convention planning committee, Kris Webster and Andy Graham. Kris joins us a litte ways in the conversation. We talk about the Con, their backgrounds as Constant Readers and the fine art of book collecting. Find everything you need to know about the Con here .…

Back once again with undisputed Queen of Stephen King podcasting, Kim C. In this episode, Kim C. plays Sherpa Tenzing to my increasingly word-baggery Edmund Hilary as we scale the second Dark Tower novel, The Drawing of the Three. As you will hear, this installment of the DT series left us bewitched, bothered, bemused and with breathe completely taken. How autobiographical is it? Which is scarier, the world of lobstrosities or 1980s New York? How do you write a quest novel in which the protagonists only walk a few miles? We discuss all of this, and a lot more besides.

Our fever for The Stand has gone full blown this month, as we finish our epic conversation with Andy Stanton. We discuss the mutations of The Stand, from the graphic novels to the miniseries and touching on the forthcoming The End of the World as We Know It, a collection of short stories set in the world of Captain Trips with contributions from past guests including Paul Tremblay and Richard Chizmar. Plus, in-depth discussion of Nick Andros and Mother Abigial. Andy's work can be found here , and the Tumbler's Willy Podcast can be found here .

52:08

Lindsey Anderson Beer's 2023 prequel to the 2019 reboot of Pet Sematary got something of a kicking by most critics on its release. There are the bones of a good film in their somewhere though, and the look and the soundtrack of the film, plus an eclectic cast, make it an interesting curio if nothing else. Joining me to discuss it is N.P. Cunniffe, the author of the new folk horror/Gothic novella The Weejee Man. It's a great, classically spooky story with an interesting format and some chilling twists. Plus, the book itself is a beautiful artifact, with a cover design by the author himself. I urge you to pick up a copy here , before the Wee Gee Man comes looking for you....

1:42:11

We're back (again) after a long hiatus, but what a return. One of the most listened to episodes of this podcast were the two-part epic discussions between me and Andy Stanton a few years ago. We both kicked around the idea of a rematch, and what other book could we cover but the 1990 edition of Stephen King's The Stand? Whilst other podcasts displayed depressingly lateral thinking of covering the book during the COVID 19 outbreak, Andy and i took the high ground. As you will hear, Andy has lived with The Stand in his head and his heart for most of his life, and he brings his blend of wit, insight and passion to this talk. Unsurprisingly, it was too much to fit in one episode, so this is just the first part of our conversation, stay tuned for part two in a few months' time. We also discuss Andy's new book, Benny the Blue Whale . A meditation on AI and the creative process, it is well worth a look. Naturally, it also contains a few references to Stephen King. Next month we talk to NP Cunniffe about Pet Sematary: Bloodlines and his new book, the Irish folk horror tale, The Weejee Man . Thanks to Stephen L Parkes for tech, as always.

Episode Thirty Five - Sorry, Right Number w/Adam Z. Robinson (Writer, Actor, Theatre-Maker - Haunted, A Christmas Carol, Shivers) 56:56

۲ years پیش56:56

56:56

We unearth a real curio in the King canon today, as the teleplay for Sorry, Right Number gets a good grilling. Originally filmed as part of the Tales From The Darkside television series, the teleplay was then reproduced in the 1993 short story collection, Nightmares and Dreamscapes. My guest and I discuss how much of this is autobiography, how much a cry for help, and how much just an effective, gut-punch of a tale. I am joined on the other end of the line by Adam Z Robinson, a multi-talented actor, writer and theatre manager whose work focuses on the supernatural, human relationships and what makes us truly afraid. His website is here , and you can book tickets to his winter tour here and sign up for his ghost story masterclass, where i will also be in attendance, here .

It should be unsurprising that Stephen King, as the world's most popular writer, should have such a pervasive presence online. More than any other author, the number of his fan-sites is in the thousands. However, only one fan-site has achieved the kind of dominance that Lilja's Library has. Indeed, it is a resource in producing this podcast every month. I sat down to talk to the man known as Lilja (because i can't pronounce Hans-Åke) about his life, his website, the past present and future of all things Stephen King and plenty more besides. Lilja was a most gracious guest, and i highly recommend you check out his website here , and check out his books here And don't forger (like there's a chance you would) that King's new book Holly is now for sale here Thanks to Stephen L Parkes for tech, as always.

Daphné Baiwir is the writer and director of a new documentary, Stephen King on Screen. When I read the description of the documentary, I knew I had to talk to her. She has assembled not only a list of filmmakers and fans (including previous guest Tom Holland) that promise real insight, but it opens with an easter-egg filled introduction that will have King fans freezeframing for years to come. Stephen King on Screen will get a limited theatrical release on August 11 followed by On Demand and Blu-ray on September 8, and is well worth checking out.

I had the pleasure of being a guest on Kim C's podcast, The Year of Underrated Stephen King, a few months ago. It was such a fun, lively conversation, and Kim C was such a knowledgeable, charming host that I took the liberty of inviting her to come on the Constant Reader Podcast to discuss the monolithic 11.22.63. It was a pleasure to dive back into this book, which is a real outlier for King - part sci-fi, part romance, part historical novel, with a big heart. I liked this book even more on a re-read, and the longueurs that occur in the middle of the book (including THAT Derry revisit) made a lot more sense. Kim C's podcast can be found here https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tyousk and is well worth checking out. I am hosting a book launch for local East Anglian author Sally Harris's new novel, Seahurst. I loved her first novel, Haverscroft, a classic ghost story for modern audiences, and this one seems just as good.

I am joined by Ally Wilkes on an expedition very few Stephen King fans will forget - into the heart of darkness and autocannibalism in Survivor Type. This grisly morsel was the grossout highlight of King's collection Skeleton Crew. It was recently turned into an animated episode of Shudder's Creepshow to pretty good effect. Once read, this one isn't easily forgotten, certainly not by Ally Wilkes, the writer of one of my favourite books of last year, All the White Spaces. Ally and I talk eating long pig, arctic expeditions and the ineffable lure of the unknown spaces for a writer. I am really looking forward to her next book, the similarly chilly sounding Where the Dead Wait, and thoroughly recommend you pick up All the White Spaces in preparation....

Episode Thirty - Misery (1990) w/Justin Stanley (Screenwriter of Black Butterfly) + Grindhouse Screening News! 59:48

۲ years پیش59:48

59:48

This month we take a look at the torments of the writing process through the lens of Rob Reiner's 1990 adaptation of 1987 King novel Misery. Like last month's Shawshank Redemption it was a favourite of critics and audiences alike, mainly due to the bravura performances of James Caan and Kathy Bates. Joining me to talk about it is screenwriter and film buff Justin Stanley, who has written about the tempestuous process of writing in the 2017 film Black Butterfly, starring Antonio Banderas and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Justin and I will also be present for the upcoming screening of the grindhouse double bill at Norwich Cinema City on March 21st 2022. Justin has been advocating for Hollywood 90028 since it's restoration, and he has paired it with the sleazy classic Death Game for an unforgettable night. I will be pitching in to help host, and we will have contributions from film historian (and previous guest) Dr Linda Sheppard, writer/director Eli Roth and writer/director Ti West. Tickets are available here , but please act quickly, as there aren't many left.... Apologies to Ally Wilkes for bumping her this month (in favour of Annie Wilkes, strangely), but our conversation will now be out on April 1st. No fooling.

Apologies for the hiatus, now back at full strength and we have a full slate of episodes for 2023 lined up, including some TBC guests making their own Stephen King adaptations, as well as some of the geniuses behind some big-name books and TV shows, plus fellow podcasters from within the Stephen King podcasting community. James Michels is a great guest to kick off the year. His experiences working in correctional facilities makes him qualified to discuss 1994's The Shawshank Redemption, directed by Frank Darabont. He is also an author, whose work can be found here , and his personal website can be found here . We discuss his new book, Life's Dark Corners which gives the reader five short, sharp jolts in a noir package. Heartily recommend it. See you next month, when we will be talking to the author of one of my favourite debuts, All the White Spaces, Ally Wilkes, and i will try not to call her Annie Wilkes too much.....

Isaac Thorne is a man with a serious imagination. Hell Spring, his most recent novel contains (amongst much else) a killer Marilyn Monroe, cataclysmic floods, self-mutilation, time travel and monstrous phalluses. Who better to investigate one of King's more off-kilter, leftfield novels, the fantasy epic The Eyes of the Dragon? We discuss this charming anomaly's place in the King canon, which features some of his most complex, interesting and well drawn characters, as well as the dangers of writing genre fiction and not having it seem overplayed. Thanks to Isaac for coming on, Hell Spring can be found here , and is definitely worth your time. Tech wizardry by SLP, thanks as always.…
