Stephen King: Monsters Live in Ordinary People: The Novels and Stories of Stephen King

BY PAUL MAHER JR. When I was just a kid in Lowell, Massachusetts during the 1970s, I went into a Pawtucketville pet store and saw this 10-gallon fish tank set among cages of rabbits and guinea pigs. Scurrying through the wood shavings were over five dozen albino feeder mice fighting for space. Some of them [...]

I probably would have waited to buy this until it was released as a paperback if it hadn't been for the fact that it was on sale for $9 when I saw it. Despite its size, I read it over...

As I just cracked open the 14,000-page monolith that is Stephen King's latest, "Under The Dome," I thought I'd get back to this occasional series. You can accuse King as a writer of many talents and some flaws, but nobody can ever argue that he's unproductive -- how many millions of words has he written in the last 30 years, anyway? An entire bookshelf in my house creaks with tattered King...

Under the Dome is a big book in both pages and in terms of scope but one that takes place in one town, Chester’s Mill. And it’s probably true to say that that King is going to be testing himself to the limit with this book. The title of Under the Dome describes the [...]

If you're writing in a genre, it's all the more important to read widely outside it in order to be aware what fiction is capable of. It's less a matter of importing techniques into the field [of horror fiction] than...

At my internship this morning I put in the order for adult books on CD. It was pretty entertaining going through the titles and figuring out how much to order of each one. I was surprised at how many Stephen...

Here is a basic economic principle: don’t sell an asset unless you have verified that someone actually places a higher value (at least financially) on it than you do. This is a principle that the Queensland government has apparently forgotten and is articulated nicely in a letter published today [over the fold] and signed by [...]

I spent from Wednesday evening 'til Saturday reading Stephen King's new book, "Under the Dome." I gave up on King years ago because I just wasn't feeling the thrill any more. But I have to hand it to him, he's definitely got his mojo back. This book is a true tour de force. It's very long, at over 1000 pages, but it grabbed me from the very beginning and kept me enthralled to the last page....

November 23, 2009 I've been thinking about failure lately. Partly this is due to reading an article about California in Time Magazine from a couple weeks ago. They noted that among the start-ups out in California and the entrepreneurial types, it's practically a badge of honor to have a couple failures behind you. I think by now we all know that Thomas Edison attempted around 10,000 different techniques...
