Horns is one of my favorite books of all time! I've read it numerous times. I have a few editions, but will look for yours. Congrats!

I just looked it up, and I already ordered that edition from Dark Regions Press!!!!! Wow, I feel as if I am brushing elbows with the famous. ;-)





Welcome to the group Erik, I just discovered this group about a week ago, I'm a die-hard Stephen King fan! Enjoy The Shining, it's an excellent read!!





I've read King on and off for years (I even used to teach Carrie), but I recently started reading in vaguely chronological order as best I can. So far I have read Pet Sematary (before I started the chrono read), Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Shining, Doctor Sleep (not chronological but sequel!), The Long Walk (I may exclude "Bachman" moving forward), and now I am on The Dead Zone. I know I missed The Stand, but I need time to devout to the opus. I am concurrently reading The Institute because I can't help myself.
Looking to being part of the group!

Hey Tim, The Long Walk is one of my favorite King works. I think it's one of his best. What did you think?


I thought the characters were great and their interaction and discussion. I thought the book captured their age and their world and their over-optimism perfectly. I also liked the story, though my feelings about the ending weren't as negative as most others'. The fact that kids could form those kinds of bonds with the knowledge that only one of them would survive was incredibly insightful on King's part, not to mention his picture of that dystopian world. I understand that he wrote a lot of this during and right after college which makes his story and character development truly amazing.

Let me know what you think of it and advance Happy Halloween.
