I will be looking for it. The last King magazine story I read was in an issue of Esquire. Talk about publishing widely!
Well Done! You made a believer out of me.
It twisted me around all over the place. It made me feel in ways that were a bit uncomfortable. In other words, not just a great Stephen King story, but a great story.
I love how completely immersed I can get in just a short time when Sir King is the author. Loved it!!
This story reminded me of the Green Mile, but a bit older time of racial tension back then. This story made me think it was written for this time period of all the racial tension that's been going on right now. This thought of the troubled times of today's racial tension was in my mind as I read it, I couldn't help but think of John Coffeey. This is a great read and I'm glad I found out about it (even though I don't subscribe to the New Yorker). Great read and will pull you in till the very end. Great read for a short story!
Mr. King, I was motivated to send you an email, letter, etc. regarding the crap book Dr. Sleep. But, as a working mom of two; I just didn't have time to fulfill the "requirements" to get in touch. Now, I'm hijacking your blog
Thanks for the link. I'll read it at lunch.
I enjoyed the story, I was totally on the Sheriffs' side, and was, well really........., you'll have to read it to fit out, but it was a great read. Thanks Stephen for another great short!
i think this short story is somewhat influenced by Mr. Mercedes. While the plot is about the alleged murderer, but it is what's on the sheriff's mind that is the story.The writing could be colder and meaner though. :)
A very good short story. I don't want to say too much other than, as usual with your stories, I didn't see that coming.
The mystery of this short story left me wondering about the truth "behind" the coin, and the lengths one would go to hide the truth. Great story Stephen.
Reminds me of Cormac McCarthy's Child of God a little.
If you can get a copy of his "The Man in the Black Suit," do so. Also in The New Yorker. It won the O. Henry award in 1996.
i can tell that this is going to make a great book to read for anyone who love to read Stephen King as much as i do if not more
This story was so strange and so wonderful at the same time. King's writing is very character driven, it's the characters that drive the story, and what gripped me was the smoothness of the dialogue. I could just hear these people in conversation. This can only occur when the characters are fully realized. The sheriff who wants to trust... (ironic for a sheriff)... But this is what made the impact of the end of the story so great.
As an author, I find his character-driven writing so inspiring.
This piece was so odd and wonderful to read at the same time. The dialogue was so smooth - I could just be standing next to these people on the sidewalk and overhearing what their conversation - which was so scary! I think that's what King can do because he's so character-driven, and the characters are so developed and drive the story. The sheriff who is so trusting... How ironic! As an author, I find his character development and character-driven writing inspiring.
