208: Ur with Chuck Tingle

Ur was controversial upon release. It's King's short story all about a very special Amazon Kindle initially only available to read on Amazon Kindles! There was some outcry at the time of release about the story being nothing more than a thinly veiled commercial for Amazon, but a closer look shows something with a lot more meat on its bones.

206: Doctor Sleep with Coop

In his sequel to The Shining, Stephen King focuses on a grown up Danny Torrance who is tempted to make the same mistakes his father did, but ultimately overcomes the challenges his father could not.

202: On Writing with Sam Lake

On Writing is Stephen King's memoir/how-I-write-good tome that is both inspirational and revealing about how one of our greatest living authors navigates his craft. Personal stories lead into grammar lessons that somehow diverge into editorial and then back to King's childhood where he suffered various traumas, like getting fart on by his babysitter and maybe even seeing his closest friend obliterated by a passing train.
