I started reading The Strain the other day and am really enjoying it so far.
I've been slowly wading into "The Expanse" series by James S. A. Corey, and have almost finished Caliban's War. Thoroughly enjoying it so far, happy to discover a series that's already so established - I don't have to wait years for the next installment!
Fire & Blood is pretty awesome!
So I read Dark Matter by Michelle Paver yesterday while I was stuck home in the snow. It was the perfect book for the day, I really enjoyed it. I do wish it had been scarier, but then again it's pretty rare for me to find a book that will actually scare me. Has anyone read anything by her? I'm planning on starting Thin Air tonight.
Sounds like an interesting concept... if you liked that, conceptually it sounds a bit similar to "The Deep" by Nick Cutter, which I would recommend.
If you've never read any of his horror, he comes recommended and well reviewed by King himself, but his horror...it doesn't stop, it just smothers you and doesn't let up. Very different than what I was used to, but interesting in it's own right.
Love the Snowman! I’m killing it!

Caitlin R. Kiernan - Black Helicopters. This is the expanded version.
Amanda and Jean, I finished The Dead Zone! I loved it. I'm really glad they picked it for bookclub this month otherwise it would probably still be sitting there waiting for me to read it. I have seen the movie, but it's been so many years that I can't really remember much from it, and quite possibly this isn't even in the movie, but

My answer would be because the message of The Dead Zone seems to boil down to

and that's the most consistent conclusion with that, just as how, in Cujo,

Of course I don't know King's thoughts on those specific details; that's just how I see it. 02-14-2019 12:36 PMBrian861Quote: 02-14-2019 01:02 PMSt. TroyHere's the thing with Cujo:

1 - our maestro doesnt even remember writing it, so best not to linger too long on the moral compass of a coke binge’s thought process
2 - many of the characters (puppy included) had good or at least not bad intentions, but their choices yielded the worst possible outcome anyway. Cujo was just sniffing a hole in the ground (we’ve all been there), the cop was just trying to protect/serve and mom was just trying to protect her child. Sometimes life rabies happens to good people 02-14-2019 03:32 PMMattrickI didn't think Cujo was a very good book at all. It's been a few years since I've read it and a lot of the things I disliked have faded out of memory. But I remember not liking it much at all. 02-15-2019 06:36 AMBen Mears 02-15-2019 08:33 AMHeather19I agree with what everyone has said
