      Mine too! It was my first introduction to Mr King when I was in my early 20’s. I’m in my 60’s now and have been a lifetime fan. ❤🇨🇦

      Me too I think. With IT and green mile/Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank redemption honourable mentions. His short story catalogue is very impressive too tbh

    Where did you get that the last Boone "didn't stay long?". He had just moved in when the short story ended. Where is any more written about him? Honestly asking.

    • @stephenkingbookclub1054
      @stephenkingbookclub1054  Před 7 měsíci +1

      That's a great question... because there's nothing in the text that overtly indicates that he won't "stay long" (or won't survive). I was going with the connotation that some curse will do away with him... But I was also thinking of the events in Salem's Lot that happen in the 70s... So if Chapelwaite's portal to hell doesn't get the new Boone, the vampires surely will!

      @@stephenkingbookclub1054 Yeah, common sense told me that. But I was thinking you meant that something more detailed was written about him in a different story that I had either forgotten or missed. I'm glad I hadn't forgotten anything, but just a little sad there's nothing I haven't read about the story before. lol
