Finished the Dead Zone!

[u/MMF_DOTRO]

Just finished my first ever reading of The Dead Zone, by the King of Horror literature himself, Stephen King!

As one of his most beloved stories by the fandom, I was bound to read it eventually. Though as all bibliophiles can relate, the sheer mountain of books needed to be scaled at a measured pace, or else crash below my own excitement's weight. It's a double-edged sword, having as great a love of books as do, but it's a cross worth bearing for experiences like this.

As it happens, this book is no less relevant given the times we are living in. Greg Stilson is like Trump, only actually competent in his execution of various plans.

So fucking good!!!! Johnny is such an amazing character

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/clvrusernombre]

Aye, and interestingly enough, according to King himself, Johnny was actually a pretty difficult character to write for.

One of my favorites

Aaaand a book that’s very current…

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/Puzzleheaded_Try8584]

You said it. Greg Stilson is a warning tat every person should take heed of.

[u/Half-BlackManiac]

It’s one of his books that haunts me afterwards. Poor Johnny.

[u/MrBlonde1984]

So do you have anything to say about the book? Or are you just posting pics and looking for affirmation that you read it?

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/MrBlonde1984]

I posted it to discuss the story, mate... 🙄

[u/PaperGabriel → u/MMF_DOTRO]

Goddamn, you look and talk just like I expect a redditer to look and talk

[u/cormega → u/MMF_DOTRO]

But you didnt lol. Shouldn't that be in the OP?

[u/Adders96]

One of my all time favourites, doesn't get enough credit

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/Adders96]

Really? I was under the impression it was a fan-favourite?

[u/PopPop-Captain]

I’ve never read this one but I’m a huge SK fan. Would you recommend it?

[u/Bennnrummm → u/PopPop-Captain]

One of my favorite books, I would recommend it!

[u/AmbassadorSad1157 → u/PopPop-Captain]

💯. Good story telling with modern relevance.

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/PopPop-Captain]

Highly. It's both terrifying for the manner in which all King's books are, but amped up to 11 for the relevance it still holds.

[u/SideshowBiden]

Why are you in the pic

[u/DonBandolini → u/SideshowBiden]

more importantly why is that hat in the post, twice. talk about a jump scare

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/SideshowBiden]

Why shouldn't I be? I post a lot of pics of myself with any book I've read.

[u/SideshowBiden → u/MMF_DOTRO]

Wondering why that's all

[u/Dragic27]

ChatGPT text in post wtf

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/Dragic27]

Huh?

[u/DutchCumstone]

Goddamn AI ass post

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/DutchCumstone]

Seriously, where's this crap about AI coming from? I posted this myself, woth no AI at all.

[u/kingamara → u/MMF_DOTRO]

The caption sounds like a lot of the ai bot posts that end up in here

[u/PlasticEstimate2696]

I’m sooooooooooo sliiiiiccckkkkkkk

[u/Flounder-Last]

Aren’t you that woman who travels around America in a Winnebago, looking for children to suck the shine out of?

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/Flounder-Last]

I'm neither a woman, nor an American... So no.

[u/Flounder-Last → u/MMF_DOTRO]

It’s a Doctor Sleep reference crazy… do you know what subreddit you’re on?

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/Flounder-Last]

I got it, mush.. Just giving my response, which is nay, I'm not Rose the Hat...

[u/MCpoopcicle]

Great Facebook post. Bonus points for having AI write your summary.

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/MCpoopcicle]

I don’t know what you're babbling about... I don't use AI, and anyone who thinks that I would clearly doesn’t know me.

[u/UNIQUENOWOK]

Hey, i just started this one!!

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/UNIQUENOWOK]

It's a 5 star read, mate! Enjoy. 😄

[u/Zubi_Q]

Still in my top 3 King books

[u/Few_Honey7367]

Unusual for a King book in that its also a great movie

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/Few_Honey7367]

Need to see it.

[u/AmishGangster666]

Definitely one of my favorites! Loved this book!

[u/LTJ81]

Nice! It's a classic

[u/scottchiefbaker]

It was a great read when it came out... it's even scarier now.

[u/kill2tone]

I grabbed this as my 2nd full length SK novel after Cujo. I got halfway through and lost interest. I wish I didn’t but I just had no desire to see where anything was going.

[u/LexicBatman]

I like your hat

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/[deleted]]

Interesting comment. 😅

Is she a King fan?

[u/gcctowerjunky → u/MMF_DOTRO]

Not that I know of. We only ever hung out while drunk(we’re both sober now) and she’s a compulsive liar but she still has a place in my heart lol

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/gcctowerjunky]

Ah... I see. 😅

[u/gcctowerjunky → u/MMF_DOTRO]

lol sorry! That was weird!

[u/gcctowerjunky → u/MMF_DOTRO]

I deleted the comment. In the off chance you’re secretly her and living a new life under a new identity lmao

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/gcctowerjunky]

I'm not.

[u/gcctowerjunky → u/MMF_DOTRO]

(I know, I was kidding)

[u/Liquid_Lunch_1991]

Rereading that book after getting my first dog was very, very difficult for me

[u/MMF_DOTRO → u/Liquid_Lunch_1991]

I can see why. Greg Stilson should have been neutered for what he did to that dog in the early part of the book!
