Episode 205-Lisey's Story

With Lisey's Story, King published what he calls his best novel. That's a bold statement to make.   While one can certainly see why it would be his most personal, does Lisey's Story really hold up to the mantle of being his best?

Episode 204-Tod Williams' Cell (2016)

The novel Cell is an interesting zombie tale that takes your cellphone and turns it into the most dangerous object ever put in human hands (sadly, you don't need a Stephen King story for that statement to be true). While the novel itself is uneven zombie thriller with a sci-fi edge, it still has the beating heart of King as a storyteller.  What happens when you keep the story but lose the storyteller? You become a shambling corpse of a movie starring John Cusak and Samuel L Jackson.   As always, write in at stephenkingcast@yahoo.com Follow me on Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook and Bluesky.

Episode 202-Cell

With Cell, critics claimed this was Stephen King's return to horror. What we have certainly sounds like classic King: an every day object/concept spun into a nightmarish tale.   However, released in the midst of the early 2000s zombie wave that began with 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead, does Cell really have that much to say?  Find out this week in the Stephen Kingcast!
