[Cliff's Dark Gems]

Hello everyone! My name is Cliff and I am from the Kwazulu Natal South Coast, South Africa. I love all Horror fiction, but Stephen King stands head and shoulders above the rest!

[Dana]

Hi Cliff! Welcome to the group! :)

[Cobaltdragon]

Hi Cliff. Welcome

[Akanksha]

Hi everyone, I'm Akanksha! I admire Stephen King a lot, both as a storyteller and an absolute master at his craft. I'm currently reading 'On Writing' and I've never come across a more valuable, insightful 'for-writers' book.

Honestly, I haven't covered a lot of his work (to be fair, it's a vast expanse) but I'm hoping to make my way through it all in this lifetime. My favourites so far have been Carrie and Misery.

[LTJ]

@Cliff: Welcome and wow, all the way from South Africa? That's so awesome :-)

[LTJ]

@Akanksha: Welcome and very cool, same here! I have yet to read "On Writing" but heard it was fantastic. My first novel of the year was "Cell" by King and it rocked :-)

I also absolutely loved Carrie and Misery!

[Erin]

Welcome Cliff and Akanksha

On Writing is essential for anyone who ever aspires to write fiction, horror or otherwise.

Good morning from mid-Missouri! I've been on a bit of a Stephen King adventure for the past couple of years, and am really looking forward to completing his entire bibliography. I've listened to 80% of his books and am so happy with all of the wonderful narrators I've heard! I'm currently listening to 1922 (I've read this one before, but really wanted to hear it as well), and I'm reading On Writing, which is funny and inspiring. It's absolutely one I wanted to read rather than listen to, though. I've also read a lot of Joe Hill, whom I think is insanely talented as a horror writer. Glad to find some fellow fans of Mr. King!

Welcome! I too live in Mid Missouri. Small world. Kind of. I absolutely love Joe Hill, as well as Tabby, but I feel almost guilty that I just can't seem to enjoy Owen's writing.

Welcome Carli

Hi Kandice! I haven't read any of Owen's, but it's on my to-do list! I feel like Joe's writing is almost like Stephen King concentrate, if that makes sense. Like it takes the essence of King's storytelling and emboldens and condenses it. He's also very much his own storyteller, though

[David]

Hello all! I'm David, and excited to join this group of like-minded readers!
I was first introduced to Stephen King when I was a senior in high school, and Salem's Lot came out. Man, that book had a huge effect on me and changed my whole outlook on the Horror genre. I tend to think some people kind of turn their noses up at King's writing, but in the end, I feel that storytelling boils down to entertainment, and Stephen King has done a wonderful job of entertaining me for years.
I read all sorts of books, but I tend to gravitate toward Horror, Dark Fantasy, Action-Adventure, Historical Fiction, and History. I love writing as well, and I'm constantly looking for ways to improve my craft. Cheers!

[McFudd]

Hi guys 👋🏻 new to the good read scene and just got into reading consistently at the beginning of 22. I got into Stephen king after watching a movie based on one of his books. I’m a big believer of books before movies so this is why I started reading Stephen’s books.

I am 27, Scottish and a single widowed mum of one. I work part time as a dinner lady (awesome holidays 😂) I split my limited spare time between scrolling on TT, diy crafty things, reading and crocheting. All have half finished projects attached to their to do lists. Thanks for reading 💕

[Jamie]

Welcome! I also started to seriously read in past year and Goodreads is great!!!

[Jefferson A.]

Hi everyone, Im Jefferson and live in Colombia and am such a huge Stephen King fan.

[Marie]

Hi - I am Marie - I use to be in this group a long time ago but I felt that I wasn't participating enough so I left. But now I am back! :) Been reading more of the Master of Horror lately too. :)

Thank you, Kasia! :)

[LTJ]

@Carli: Welcome and so glad to hear that! I love everything King writes as it's always such a unique and exhilarating reading adventure :-)

I need to read Joe Hill as I've yet to read anything by him but I know he's written some incredible novels over the years!

[LTJ]

@David: Welcome to this group as well! I love 'Salem's Lot as my first King novel was IT back when I was a teenager. I've been a Constant Reader ever since!

[LTJ]

@ToniMarie: Welcome and very awesome to hear that! Which King movie did you see that converted you into a Constant Reader? I remember that was kind of the same with me, IT was my first King novel then I saw The Shining/Cujo/Pet Semetary as movies and just had to read the books. LoL the books are always better :-)

I'm sorry to hear you're widowed, may your partner RIP <3

[LTJ]

@Marie: ZOMG YES!!! Welcome, my friend! I'm so glad you came back here, yay :-D

[LTJ]

@Jefferson: Welcome and very awesome! I love Colombian coffee and food (BANDEJA TIPICA!!!). Glad you also love Stephen King as much as I do :-D

[Joan]

I just pre-ordered the next new Stephen King book Holly. It will be out in Sept. or Oct. I think. Can't wait. It follows Holly Gibney a character who has been in several earlier stories including If It Bleeds.

[LTJ]

@Joan: That is so awesome! I need to read the whole Mr. Mercedes trilogy, isn't that where Holly is from? I also need to read If It Bleeds... is she in both of these? LoL this is all new to me :-P

Horns! I vote you start there. It is one of my very favorite books of all time. I don't even know how many times I've read it.

[Dana]

My favorites by Joe Hill are NOS4A2 and Heart Shaped Box. I loved the first one so much after reading it from the library I had to own a copy!

NOS4A2 was also a series that was on for a couple of seasons. AMC carried it, I thought it was decent. Zachary Quinto really made the show.

[Dana]

Yes! I saw the show. Really liked it too. That was the first Joe Hill book I read and I had to read more. I was the same way with his dad; now I have all of SK’s works.

[James]

[Yasel]

Hi! I'm Yasel, from Spain. I'm new here, kinda still trying to know how everything works. I've found this searching for something like social media but for readers since any of my friends are into reading or writing. I'd love to make some read buddies so i can talk about books with someone :)xx

[LTJ]

@Yasel: Welcome as that's so awesome you're from Spain! I visited Spain in 2019 and had THE BEST paella and sangria ever. I just sent you a friend request as I also love talking books :-D

[Thierry]

[Juniper]

Hey yall! My names Juniper! I first got into Stephen King with The Institute. Honestly I bawled the entire time. But it really inspired me to read more of his work! Currently reading The Outsider and I'm horrified but so invested in how detailed his work is! My next plan is to start his new book Fairytale. The summary just seems like something "out of this world" and I'm excited.

[Billy]

Hello everyone! I am new here and new to goodreads in general. Heck, im new to reading in general. I am 36 years old and my wife is an avid reader. Christmas 2021 she bought me a Kindle and I have just fallen into the pages of many different worlds! I feel as if I have cheated myself my whole life.

Anyways. I am into Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi (Space), and some fiction! Feel free to add me and be friends! Always looking for something new to read!

Welcome! King can definitely be a rabbit hole when you come to him late. He's written so many books! I envy you enjoying them all for the first time.

You found the right place!

[LTJ]

@Juniper: Welcome and that's so awesome! I've yet to read The Institute but it's on my TBR for sure. I'm so glad you're a Constant Reader as King has truly written some of the greatest novels of all time. You came to a wonderful group as we have iced lattes and cookies heading into the weekend :-)

[Erin]
