One fan's attempt to do some analysis of Stephen King's fiction, non-fiction and poetry. From Carrie to the top of the Dark Tower, King is a huge presence in the marketplace. But what does his work tell us about ourselves? And what will last of his work?

Episode 21: Bag of Bones hits the screen | This is a bit long for a Kingcast, but I hope you’ll indulge me. Bag of Bones (1998) is one of my favorite King novels.

Kingcast episode 19: “11/22/63″ quick review | I hadn’t planned on this, but thanks to Scribner getting me a review copy of 11/22/63 and a loooong travel day, I was able to read the new novel last weekend, and I wanted to quickly record my audio review of it.

Episode 17: Lucas Bryant of “Haven” | Here’s episode 17 of the ‘cast, featuring an interview with Lucas Bryant, who plays Sheriff Nathan Wuornos on the Showcase / Syfy show Haven.
