The Mist
By Stephen King

Soon to be a television series on Spike TV
#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King’s terrifying novella about a town engulfed in a dense, mysterious mist—as humanity makes its last stand against unholy destruction…

In the wake of a destructive Maine summer thunderstorm, an impenetrable mist descends from the direction of a local military facility and infiltrates the small town of Bridgton. David Drayton and his son Billy are dragged into a living nightmare as unnatural and violent forces concealed by the mist begin to emerge, wreaking havoc in their wake. Now trapped in the local supermarket with a ragtag group of survivors, David unexpectedly faces a growing threat from within, one that promises to challenge the boundaries of sanity itself. In this horrifying mist, hearing is seeing—and believing. And what you’re about to hear, you’ll never forget.

Originally published in his acclaimed collection, Skeleton Crew, this riveting, eerie novella proves why Stephen King is a master storyteller in short form.

Audiobook Review: The Dead Zone by Stephen King

THE DEAD ZONE
Author: Stephen King
Narrator: James Franco
Reading Level: Adult
Genre: Thriller
Released: April 25, 2017
Review Source: Simon Schuster Audio

Never before on audio! A #1 national bestseller about a man who wakes up from a five-year coma able to see people’s futures and the terrible fate awaiting mankind in The Dead Zone—a “compulsive page-turner” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution).

Johnny Smith awakens from a five-year coma after his car accident and discovers that he can see people’s futures and pasts when he touches them. Many consider his talent a gift; Johnny feels cursed. His fiancé married another man during his coma and people clamor for him to solve their problems.

When Johnny has a disturbing vision after he shakes the hand of an ambitious and amoral politician, he must decide if he should take drastic action to change the future. The Dead Zone is a “faultlessly paced…continuously engrossing” (Los Angeles Times) novel of second sight.

The Dead Zone is such a unique story.  Well, all of Stephen King books are amazing and unique.  He is one of my all time favorite authors.  Definitely my favorite author in his genre.  I've been reading his books since I was a teenager, which I won't mention how long ago that was, I'll just say for a LONG TIME.  Every single book I have loved for different reasons.  He is an effin genius.  How one man can come up with so many different interesting bizarre concepts for books I'll never understand.

This story is about a hero, Johnny Smith, that really gets dealt a pretty crappy hand.  I actually really love his character.  Through everything he goes through he still perseveres.  It's really painful to listen to sometimes because I was routing for him the whole time and hoping things would work out for him.

James Franco was the narrator of this book.  I thought he did a pretty good job of narrating.  His voice was kind of nasally as some points but other than that I really was enthralled listening to him tell me the story.  He kept my attention the whole time.

I am rating this book 4 stars because I loved the story when I read it but listening to it brought the story to life on a whole different level.  I highly recommend all of Stephen King's books!

It's A Muggle Monday Recommendation!

We are not wizards or witches, but muggles. We don't live in a magical world... Hogwarts is not home. But don't let this put you down. We don't need magic to transform our world. We have thousands lives to explore and dystopian worlds to travels. From the words of JK Rowling, "The stories we love the best live in us forever".

It's a Muggle Monday Recommendation is a new weekly meme hosted by Once Upon a Twilight in hope that this story will cast a spell over you and live with you forever.

This week I'm going to be recommending a book that I have yet to read - after I get a few more books off of my TBR list I will be starting though.

It is a classic, and for those of you who like horror it is a MUST read.

Of course I have seen this movie. But after hearing that the book is basically COMPLETELY different, and after watching that episode of Friends where Rachel and Joey exchange their favorite books, I have basically been dying to read this story.

Adaptation News: It | Pete's Dragon | The Lost City of Z

Sharing some of the latest adaptation news around the web! 

---

If you haven't heard already, this news is surely going to make Stephen King fans excited! 'IT' will be coming to the big screen and HBO's 'True Detective' director has come on board to directed 'IT'. Cary Fukunaga will begin filming 'IT' next summer. 

This will be the next live-action movie stated Stephen King's project's producer Dan Lin. Lin will also working with Fukunaga on the 'IT' project. This will be the first time 'IT' comes to the big screen. in 1990 we saw 'IT' as a TV miniseries. Lin mentions that the 'IT' will be a two film series. 

“The book is so epic that we couldn’t tell it all in one movie and service the characters with enough depth,” explained Lin; the first film, then, will be a coming-of-age story about the children tormented by It, while the second will skip ahead in time as those same characters band together to continue the fight as adults.

Who will be cast for the role of "Pennywise"? Who would you cast to play the role of the evil clown?

The younger folks might not have a clue about this next remake that Disney is going to bring back. The original live-action musical was released in 1977. I grew up watching this movie and it's one of those movies growing up, you never forget. So folks my age or older will agree with me that remaking 'Pete's Dragon' is fantastic. This will give the younger generation the chance to experience an amazing classic.

Disney plans to create a new version but retain the old genre. They will make the new version more entertaining and creative to bring out the fantasy elements. The film will be directed by David Lowery and produced by James Whitaker. Robert Redford, Oakes Fegley, Bryce Dallas, Michael C. Hall and Wes Bentley have all join the cast. Fegley will play the role of Pete. Tentative release is set for August 12th 2016.

Things seem to be moving forward with the adaptation of 'The Lost City of Z'. The rights were snatched by Brad Pitt's Plan B production company years ago. And their were two actors attached to the film that you all might know, Robert Pattinson and Benedict Cumberbatch. The most recent actor to be added is Sienna Miller. 

'The Lost City of Z" producer Dede Gardner said she is hoping for a summer 2015 shoot. 

Top Ten Tuesday: The Creepiest Covers Out There!

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.

Top Ten Creepiest Book Covers Out There

• Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann : This original cover drew me in so quickly and didn't let me down. One of my top favorite creep-tastic stories written. The new cover doesn't do it for me, I feel it takes away from the creepy factor inside its pages. 

• Frost by Marianna Baer : Yes its as creepy as its looks, another great scary story that will have you thinking. 

• Possess by Gretchen McNeil : Gretchen is the Queen of writing creepy, scary and insane books. 

• Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick
• Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith
• The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff

• Asylum by Madeleine Roux

• Bad Girls Don't Die by Katie Alender

• It by Stephen King

• Flowers In The Attic by V. C. Andrews

* On these last two covers, They are super creepy! I just can't handle clowns, if you saw the Stephen King's It TV mini-series, then you had to be affected like I was when it came to clowns. I now can't go near them without getting freaked out. 

And your probably wondering why did I pick the Flowers in the Attic redesigned cover as creepy? HELLO! If you read this book back in the day, then you know this cover is just wrong, like I said CREEPY! EWWWWWW! The cover is pretty if this was a normal contemporary romance but inside the pages is anything but normal. Below you will see older cover designs for Flowers in the Attic that are definitely more fitting tot he story. Again creepy!!!!! 

Are you watching Stephen King’s Under the Dome?

I’m sure you are one of the 10 million plus viewers watching Stephen King’s Under the Dome TV adaptation, right? If you aren’t that you need to correct that immediately. This is what THR shared:

Fast National returns give the series premiere a 3.2 rating with adults 18-49 — 13.1 million viewers. That ties it with The Following for second-highest-rated drama premiere of the 2012-13 season (both falling shy of NBC’s Revolution) and gives it the biggest audience for a drama launch in the last year. It also marks CBS’ most watched summer debut since 2000 (Big Brother) and its highest rated since 2005 (Fire Me Please).

Under the Dome is based on the Stephen King novel based off the same name. Here is the book’s description:

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester’s Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener’s hand is severed as “the dome” comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when — or if — it will go away.
Dale Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed with a few intrepid citizens — town newspaper owner Julia Shumway, a physician’s assistant at the hospital, a select-woman, and three brave kids. Against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at nothing — even murder — to hold the reins of power, and his son, who is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry. But their main adversary is the Dome itself. Because time isn’t just short. It’s running out.

I personally have not read this novel by Stephen King and once I knew it was to become a TV show, I won’t read the book. I learned the hard way with The Vampire Diaries and True Blood, that you should not read the books while you watch the show at the same time. You compare everything to the book and end up getting upset because it usually doesn’t match the book. So I googled information about Under the Dome to get an idea of what the novel was about and read some book reviews. Needless to say I became excited to start watching the show. There have been 5 episodes now and every week that past, I get more and more obsessed with the show. It just keeps getting intense and nothing about it is predictable.

I read a post that IGN shared about “5 Things You Need To Know” about Under the Dome. IGN had the opportunity to attend an early screening of the debut episode recently at an event where co-executive producers Neal Baer (E.R.) and Brian K. Vaughan (Lost) were on hand to talk about the show. So this is what they mentioned:

• This Is Not A Miniseries
• It’s One Day At A Time In Chester’s Mill
• People Will Die, Mysteries Will Be Solved
• The Effects Will Keep On Coming
• The End May Not Be The End

“When I came up with this idea, I envisioned a town potentially being trapped for years,” King told the team, “and that’s something that you guys could get to do, that I didn’t.” Though they hope to run for more that one season, the co-executive producers do like what Vaughn refers to as the “all killer and no filler” 13-episode model, versus the more “traditional” network model of 20 or more episodes a season.

“The characters are complicated,” Baer says. “The people you think are bad, may not be so bad, and the ones you think are good, may not be so good. That’s really what Stephen King has always done so well, and we’ve really embraced that, too. So, don’t believe everything you see.”

“It’s not post-apocalyptic.” Vaughan says. “This is the first day after this life-altering tragedy, and we really didn’t want to leave these people, for a moment. We want to see each step, gradually, of how this society can change, as Chester’s Mill is cut off from the rest of the United States.”

“We pitched Stephen a far-out, big-swing idea for this to go several years, a different ending, and he was really excited by it, ” Vaughan said. The author was said to have exclaimed, “I wish I thought of that. That’s killer!” Ultimately, the choice was left up to the producers. “He said, ‘To quote Elvis, “It’s your baby, rock it.” Vaughan added.

“Steven Spielberg sees the best in humanity and Stephen King is always seeing the worst,” Vaughan said. “But there are similarities: they’re both really aggressive humanists who love people so much; and [love] throwing them in extraordinary situations and seeing what happens.”

Did all that get you interested yet? Under the Dome airs on CBS’ Monday’s at 10pm EST/9pm CST. A familiar face to twilight fans will be Rachelle LaFevre (Victoria from Twilight Saga: New Moon) she plays Julia Shumway: An investigative reporter who takes an interest in Barbie and her husband goes missing after the dome appears. Barbie is played by Mike Vogel known for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Grind, Poseidon, Blue Valentine, The Help and Cloverfield. Then you have newcomer Alexander Koch who plays Junior Rennie, wait till you see what his character is all about. Cray Cray!
