    This story is of one of the most famous writers in the horror genre Stephen King. "The method of breathing" was first published in the storybook "Different Seasons" in 1982. Each story in this book is related to one of the seasons. "The method of breathing" is a winter fairy tale. The story consists of three parts and tells about the old Mr. Eldie, who comes to a mysterious nameless club. He tries to find out the secrets of the institution. Mr. Eldie tries not to interfere much and not make it dangerous for his life. He has been coming there for 10 years. Old gentlemen gather in the club and tell stories. The motto of the club is "A secret in history, not in the narrator". Every Tuesday, the visitors tell special stories - about the supernatural. Later, the main character finds many books of non-existent writers in the library of the club. He understands that this mysterious place can really be dangerous.

    Another Frank Muller treat. Stephen King would say of Frank Muller, "I write the books but then Frank brings them to life".

    Best of the seasons, I find it enthralling. I love the
    Idea of a 'club'.

    This is one of my favorite Stephen King short story's. I have always been amazed and impressed that he came up with such a great topic. Even now I still leak a few tears. The most beautiful story I have ever read.

    Underrated story overshadowed by the other amazing stories in Different Seasons. Maybe not as movie-worthy, but still an engaging read. I love the “men’s club” framing, and I wish we’d go back to it someday.

    Stephen Kings stories always start out boring, but I stick with them and end up on a roller coaster ride of fear, laughter, and calm. Too me he is the greatest writer, and each story is as great as the one I read before it. Thank you.

    This narrator is very good I feel him to be 1 of my favorites. As anyone Read the book The oldest living vampire series ? That narrator is most fantastic

      Thank you for the recommendation, it’s a charmed match to find a skillfully crafted book by a gifted storyteller, that is also read by a talented voice in timbre, tone and rhythm, expressive acting. The musical score to breathe the story to life. Yet, you never know what chemistry you’ll concoct when blindly choosing from the mix of authors to readers, mix-and-match. As such, gggI do enjoy recommendations!

    The only 'horror' story wrote in Different Seasons. His agent thought he would be typecast as a horror writer so he wrote the other three stories to show he could do non horror.
    He did this story to be cute as the final story in the anthology.

    I've always imagined that, some years later, say after the narrator David Adley's wife had died, and he went on to spend more and more time at the club, a night finally came where David Adley went deeper into the house...and became lost (perhaps encountering some horrible fate...or perhaps going on an adventure). Or, standing at the door with Stevens, Stevens opened the door to that horrific world, thrusting Adley out into it, and trapping him there forever.

    Narrated by the late great Frank Muller. Stephen King and John Grisham among many others considered him the goat of narrators. He was injured severely in a motorcycle accident in November 2001. He lingered until June 2008 when he died in a hospital in North Carolina I believe. I think it was Duke University hospital ?

    • @TinnyDee
      @TinnyDee Před 3 měsíci +6

      Loved Franks voice, especially in the Dark Tower Series. Noticed there's a big push for multi narrators and the "voice over acting" kind of narration. I don't mind almost any type of narration but being O.G. Frank and his style of reading will always be my favorite.

      Muller is a legend.
      Theres something special about
      a single narrator.
      It has the magic feeling that Grandma or Grandpa is sitting
      near a cozy fireplace sharing the events of the story first hand just for you. 😍

    I was a new mother when I read this for the first time…. I cried then. Always fascinated with the club and Stephen any mention in further stories was met with a detective sort of glee.
    Didn’t get away without tears this time either.

    Very enjoyable reading and Stephen King is a major writer. Of course he’s frowned upon by more cerebral authors who look down on popular genre stories as junk but he has such talent as a writer and spins fascinating stories

    • @loriegosnell9355
      @loriegosnell9355 Před 4 měsíci +1

      Poor victim. Really? I think he gets more respect than is deserved actually. Don’t get it twisted now.

    • @TinnyDee
      @TinnyDee Před 3 měsíci

      He's been accused of "over writing" I've noticed the changes of his writing style over the years. I think he's taken the criticism to heart. But personally I love his older works most. I like his little wordy side tangents. 😊

    First time hearing this and a really excellent reading, though after an hour I became concerned as reader began gasping and gulping for air. I think had you taken a break and rested before reading the next hour, I could of enjoyed the last half much more rather than expecting reader to pass out at any moment.

  • @spankynater4242
    @spankynater4242 Před 3 měsíci +1

    It's silly when authors frame their stories in such a device. It adds nothing to the story, and it makes me wonder what their rationale is.

    • @Mirhaus
      @Mirhaus Před 3 měsíci

      In the authors' defensse, I think in this case it opens up the uncertainty of whether the doctor was just spinning a yarn or had actually experienced the events. It could also open the club up as something to be expanded on in a future story.
