CJ: Welcome and wow, that’s so awesome! Oh yes, King is my all-time favorite author and well, you came to the right place :-)
Hello from Miami!My name is Carlos and I have been a Stephen King junkie for a long time. I'm happy to be here!
I am currently reading the Dark Tower series (again!), and I will be reading Billy Summers also, soon!
Hello, everyone. I’m a class of 2013 graduate from Blackstone Valley Vocational High School. I pursued manufacturing there from 2010-13 because I didn’t get in till my sophomore year. I’m still in the manufacturing field with working as a machinist, plus working at Home Depot, but have branched out into other interests and endeavors. Next week on Thursday I’ll be appearing as a guest on the TV talk and variety show “Topic Time” with the host, Harrison Blake Young, to promote my writing, literary work, and discussing other things as well. So please check it out in Easton, Mass at the time to be announced. Then catch it off of YouTube from the Easton Community Access Television and Topic Time website. All together, I have written four books within the past three years. One being the first to a sci-fi, fantasy, and adventure series “Tales Of Alandria Bridging Of Worlds” and the other three “Lost Case Encounters” “Corrections Mayhem” and “Among Altin” being sci-fi horror novels, first one being a collection of three short stories of my own.
Hi CJ Salem's Lot one of my favourite King novels. Just read it for the second time in Mar. 2022, first read was back in the 1970's. Definitely one of the better vampire novels.
@Erik: Welcome and very cool! Much respect to another writer :-)
Welcome Andrew, Elaine, Nikil, CJ, Carlos, & Erik!

hi. I'm new to Goodreads. Currently reading IT and Lisey's Story. My favorite genre is sci-fi/fantasy
Hey Everyone, name is Shamus, been a SK fan since I first picked up a random copy of Misery that my parents had in their bookshelf back when I was a kid. Been hooked on him and everything spooky since!
@Shamus: Welcome and ohhhhhhhhh, that's so awesome! I'll never forget how creepy Misery was, especially that ending. Truly a masterpiece of a novel :-)

Hello everyone! My name is Philip and I recently joined this group in an effort to share my enjoyment of SK with others. I didn’t start reading King until he released The Outsider, but have completed the Bill Hodges trilogy, 11/22/63, Eyes of the Dragon and of course some of his early classics since. I’ve finally decided to start the Dark Tower series and hope to wrap up book one today. Great to meet everyone.
@Phillip: Welcome and very cool! You definitely came to the right group and even though I've yet to read all those King novels you mentioned, they're on my TBR! LoL hopefully sooner rather than later I'll get to them :-)
Hi, I am Harmony from the United Kingdom. I own an extensive amount of works by Stephen King but have unfortunately never read any. I have always wanted to delve into his world but have been apprehensive in the past due to shear amount of connections flooded throughout the books. It feels like I'm starting a TV series with 100 seasons!!However, as daunting as I find it, I am finally ready to explore the Stephen King universe and I look forward to the adventure!
@Harmony: Welcome and ah, I know what you mean! I think unless you're reading a Stephen King series (Gwendy's Box, Dark Tower, etc.) then you don't have to worry about missing anything out that's connected.What do you plan to read first from the amazing King universe? :-)
LTJ wrote: "@Harmony: Welcome and ah, I know what you mean!

I have just started and am only a few pages in, but I am already enthralled by King's writing style!
@Harmony: Ah, I see, that's awesome! I re-read that a few months ago and absolutely loved it. Happy reading and you're in for quite the ride thanks to our friend Annie Wilkes LOL
Hey guys! My name is Robert. I joined this group to add to the experience of diving into SK's world. I haven't read any of his books, but have some knowledge through movie remakes. I have to decide which one to begin with and can't wait to start.
@Robert: Welcome and awesome! You're in for a treat, there are so many Stephen King masterpieces to jump into that it's going to be a ton of fun. Enjoy and yeah, LoL always hard to pick the first one to jump into.If it were me, I'd say Misery, IT, The Shining, 'Salem's Lot, or even one of his several anthologies of short stories. Either way, you can't really go wrong :-)
LTJ wrote: "@Robert: Welcome and awesome! You're in for a treat, there are so many Stephen King masterpieces to jump into that it's going to be a ton of fun.

@Robert: Anytime, my new friend! Yeah, that novel is absolutely crazy, brilliant, and something you'll never forget. I also forgot to mention Carrie, LoL another wild one :-)At any rate, happy reading :-)
Hi everyone! I'm excited to join this group. I am a lifelong Stephen King fan. I love the Dark Tower series the most and am wanting to reread the entire series. I see you are reading Wolves of the Calla which I read when it first came out. So, I don't remember it well enough to get involved in the discussions. Hopefully at some point you guys will go through the series again. I am currently working my way through Nightmares and Dreamscapes and The institute (at a snails pace tbh). I am looking forward to the joining you guys in the discussions for Fairy Tale.
@Lisa: Welcome and you found the right home! I have The Dark Tower series but have never read them and will at some point this year. I loved Nightmares and Dreamscapes as The Institute is also on my TBR. LoL so many books, such little time!Looking forward to future discussions with you :-)

Honestly not crazy about Nightmares and Dreamscapes overall. But, yeah, I am looking forward to this group a lot. I don't know why I waited so long to find you guys!
Michael wrote: "Lisa wrote: ". . . Hopefully at some point you guys will go through the series again. ..."I'm thinking we may eventually go through it 19 times."
That sounds good to me! As well as all of the books that are kind of intertwined.

Welcome Lisa

I've had the book a while and skipped around a lot. Now that it's old and falling apart, I am trying to finish it up. So far Crouch End is my favorite but, that could change.
Lisa wrote: "Derrick wrote: "Lisa wrote: "Lisa wrote: "Hi everyone! I'm excited to join this group. I am a lifelong Stephen King fan.

I really enjoy that whole collection to be honest!
Hi fellow King fans. Im Rosalyn from Scotland. I’m new to this group. I was so glad to see a group dedicated to my favourite author since I was 14. Now forty and still loving reading his work! Always will! Just finished the Regulators then on to Lissey’s story.
@Rosalyn: Welcome and very awesome! I read Desperation a while ago and loved it, LoL will get to The Regulators one of these days but happy reading when you get to Lissey's Story :-)
Hi! I’m Grace I’ve been reading Stephen King ever since I was 13. Watching his movies ever since 12. First story of his was The Mist bc I found the idea fascinating & now I am hooked! so far I’ve read: The Mist, & 1922 (short stories) The Shining, IT, Cujo, Joyland, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, Misery, The Dead Zone, Later, Doctor Sleep, Carrie, The Running Man, & The Long Walk. Have no idea which King read I’m going to read next, rn reading Maze Runner series. Of course I want to read more but I’m dying to read Insomnia, Needful Things, The Outsider, Sleeping Beauties, Duma Key, & Christine soon! Give recs!!!❤️📚
@Grace: Welcome and wow, that’s so awesome! I’ll never forget reading King’s IT for the very first time and it blew me away. Then I just kept going down the rabbit hole with Misery, Cujo, ‘Salem’s Lot, etc. My goal is to read everything he’s written over time. LoL slowly but surely I shall get there and well, looking forward to future horror discussions with you! :-)
@Caillen: Welcome and awesome! Great choice with reading The Shining and hope you love it! I'd recommend Carrie, Misery, Cujo, and my all-time favorite/first book I ever read of King... IT :-)
@Caillen: Anytime, my new friend, so glad I could help and it made your priority list :-D
I'm Glennis, well over the age of majority, and a Constant Reader. My neighbor offered to let me read their shiny copy of The Shining long about 1978, '79. I was enchanted with the writing style, and King has been one of my favorite authors. For the better part of 40 years, Christmas has found a new hard-bound King book beneath the tree. I haven't read all... I have a few years when reading time was limited. My all-time favorite is The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. Won't say why here... I'm looking forward to chatting with other "Constant Readers"!!
@Glennis: Welcome and wow, that's so awesome! Also been a Constant Reader for decades now and am trying to read everything Stephen King ever wrote and well, one day and one novel at a time :-)
