SIGNET [FEB 1979]

[vintagerpg]

Classic cover, classic short story collection: this is Night Shift, by Stephen King, the 1979 Signet edition. It was King’s first collection and is brimming with classics (there are plenty of clunkers, too, though even those have an unusual charm, as they display aspects of King that have since fallen away as he formalized in the years since. A lot of movies spring directly out of this one — Maximum Overdrive, Graveyard Shift, Children of the Corn and more. My faves are the duet of Jerusalem’s Lot and One for the Road, both of with extend the story of ‘Salem’s Lot.

Cover art is by Don Brautigam. I love it, though I don’t think it lines up with King’s work in a meaningful way. YMMV.

Strawberry Spring is a very early short story by Stephen King that had a huge impact on me when I was younger. It's about a college campus living in fear of a serial killer. What stuck with me the most was the tense atmosphere. The tone is hushed, but with a mix of panic and perverse excitement just under the surface. The quiet unease is what really draws me in every time. Please read it at the link above!

Edit: also, it's a really quick read. I think in the print edition it's only like 9 pages

#stephen king #strawberry spring #so apparently it was originally published in 1968 in a magazine and heavily revised for its release in the short story collection #night shift #some years later #i dont have my copy of night shift so i cant verify that this is the original #but i THINK it is

Watched this on Friday and I cannot say how many times I jumped out of my skin. A few weird plot holes but it’s worth enjoying for a good spooky movie!

From the mind of Stephen King, The Boogeyman opens in theaters on June 2 via 20th Century Studios. I’m giving readers in the Boston area the opportunity to see the horror film early - and for free!

Broke Horror Fan is sponsoring an advance screening of The Boogeyman at AMC Boston Common in Boston, MA on Tuesday, May 30, at 7pm. Click here and follow the instructions to download complimentary passes while supplies last. Seating is first-come, first-served and not guaranteed, so be sure to arrive early!

Based on Stephen King’s short story from Night Shift, The Boogeyman is directed by Rob Savage (Host) and written by Mark Heyman (Black Swan) and Scott Beck & Bryan Woods (A Quiet Place). Sophie Thatcher, Chris Messina, Vivien Lyra Blair and David Dastmalchian star. Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) produces.

High school student Sadie Harper and her younger sister Sawyer are reeling from the recent death of their mother and aren’t getting much support from their father, Will, a therapist who is dealing with his own pain. When a desperate patient unexpectedly shows up at their home seeking help, he leaves behind a terrifying supernatural entity that preys on families and feeds on the suffering of its victims.

Why are most Stephen King movies sub-par B movies? Like some things are genuinely good, but most of them are bad.

#probably because most stephen king stories are sub-par #although i did really like salems lot and the movie is seriously bad #and misery is both a good book and good movie #but scrolling through hbo max ive seen a movie for graveyard shift which was a not great story in night shift

Everybody has a drive in stories but I particularly enjoy the ones in Stephen kings novel's.

So often we see characters going through the gutter (heh) time after time and they still get up. They stand up from broken knees and swamps of water. They claw their way through windows and sewers for hoped hope to see another day the hope to save everyone else from their fate. The hope a loved one will be safe.

That hope comes with sacrifices and so often do these characters die and we know they will die. It's the way their world works. And yet we still keep coming back. Wishing the drive and passion for ourselves. Vying for a bit of luck.

There's something so intimate about horror and the characters portrayed. These are the barest forms of humanity. Brought to the brink and left to drown. And yet they still find it in them to swim.

"Perhaps, in some twisted way, they intended good, but I do not believe it. I believe they had long before bound themselves over to whatever faceless powers exist beyond the rim of the Universe; powers which may exist beyond the very fabric of Time..."
