They got a hell of a band was it! Thanks
I started Insomnia last night because I thought I remembered AA figured heavily in it. It doesn't! Does anyone remember in which book AA appears? Maybe Three Past Midnight: The Library Policeman? It's bugging me now and if someone points me in the right direction, I'm rereading that one next.On a side note, I didn't really love Insomnia when I first read it, but am absolutely digging it this time! It may be the DT references. I hadn't read the entire DT series the first time I read Insomnia, but I think it's more that this book is amazing and I was an ass for not recognizing it the first time though!
I know "Doctor Sleep" is an obvious answer, there may be more. Now I'm on a mission. I'll shuffle through titles and see if another pops up.

I think I am destined to spend part of today flipping through my books. Probably not a bad thing since most of my rereads are done on my Nook.
Yes, The Library Policeman is the one you're thinking of, Kandice.

The Tommyknockers also has several AA references
E. wrote: "The Tommyknockers also has several AA references"I thought of that one too, but now that I've flipped through I see that Chris is right. The Library Policeman is what I was thinking of. I think the first time I read that was my first real glimpse at AA, but now, because of where I work, I see a lot about it. As much as I read, I should read some "real" material about it rather than rely on King for my facts, O_o
Still gonna read TLP next, though! ;-)
ok, I listened to this short story on iTunes. I thought it was a Stephen king story but now I can't find it. it was about a lil boy fishing and the devil shows up and wants his fish. anyone know what story this is? the narrator did a great job and made it chilling.
I know it King won an award for the story Let me investigate and get back to u
ok. I thought it was the man in the black suit but now I'm not sure.
The man in the black suit; everything is eventual
Ok thank you! I think I have that collection.
Another story in that collection was all that you love will be carried away; which was one of my favorites....I have a book of quotes from literature not the bathroom but Kings twist was a nice little story along with Lucky Quarter....

all my books are packed up. I'm moving soon but I'm pretty sure that collection is one I got for 2$ cause it didn't have a dust jacket.

I'm going to have to look it up I know I have read the book but some of the specifics are missing from the card catalogue in my brain. either that they have gotten damp and mildew has covered them and I can't read them...
I tried to find it in iTunes, where I listened the first time but I can't find it. It was in a podcast.
Is there any Stephen King book about a creepy doll?
Michele wrote: "Is there any Stephen King book about a creepy doll?"In one story in Skeleton Crew, there's a toy monkey and every time he plays the cymbals, somebody dies. I also heard there's a creepy doll in Duma Key.

In Duma Key there's a malevolent spirit that speaks to a little girl through her rag doll... the spirt herself is held in a china figurine.
