Has anyone read the story in Playboy yet? Is that one new?

[jhanic]

The one in Playboy is a prose poem entitled "The Bone Church". This new one is in the November 9 issue of The New Yorker.

You know everytime I am in a bookstore I check out the magazines and always look at the current version of The New Yorker. I really like all of the stories that have graced those pages and am loking forward to this as well. And a bonus as its a Castle Rock story!

The Bone Church was OK, but it was poetry, even if it was not traditional poetry - I read it and it was OK, but doubt I'd ever read it again. King's short stories often get read a second, third, ...

Interesting story. Might go back and read it again... short. Simple. But those are the stories where there are more details then on the surface. Sad, too...

[Randall Flagg]

I read it and feel the same as you.

Very sad indeed. I must say I sorta saw it coming, though. But a very un-King-like story. I liked it. Reminded me of Updike.

The New Yorker has a tendency of publishing stories like that... And I look forward to reading it again.

I gotta say, this story really got to me. I can't get it out of my head. I suppose good literature does that. I think this is a great little tale. You can see how King's fiction has matured (I'm also thinking of Morality, another 2009 story). It's stark and real. King's next collection will be a treat.

I agree with all of that. It's a great story and I've been thinking about it all day as well.
