    :X: Best Death - Nominations Closed

    This thread is for members to nominate scenes for the Award for Best Death in a Published Work. In order for a scene to be eligible for nomination it must occur in one of Stephen King's published works, including any of his novels, novellas, and short stories. Scenes from titles published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman are also eligible.

    To nominate a scene for this category, simply post your choice in this thread. In order for a scene to be placed onto the voting ballot for the Award the nominated scene must be seconded and thirded, also in this thread. This is to ensure that we do not have an overly long list of contenders for the Award, and that--by virtue of the nomination process--each title listed on the ballot is guaranteed to have at least something of a following come voting time. Please note that you MUST clearly state in your post that you are seconding or thirding a nomination for it to count. Feel free to deliberate and discuss your choices in this thread.

    While you may second or third a nomination more than once, we ask that there be only one new nomination per member.

    PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS for ANY death you mention.

    Out of all the (DT) nominees no one died as bad ass mine:

    DT 5 (Flashback/Dream)

    Vote For:



    "As for gunslingers, Roland," Cuthbert says, "I am here. And we are the last."


    When two fit, it makes you think
    I got the cute one, my woman
    She says, "Lovin's all I bring"
    And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.
    Lovin' yes we are, it's such a wonderful thing
    When two fit it makes you think
    See us both in the black
    She lays on me so relaxed.

    Seconded. Certainly among the most memorable and vivid death scenes in the King canon.

    Black House


    I actually just started a re-read of Black House this morning and I am already saddened by the prospect of reading that scene again.

    It's one of those scenes where you want to leap into the book and save the day.

    No doubt. If there were any death in any King book I could prevent, that'd be way up at the top of my list. I doubt I have to tell anyone what would be first.

    Jean, you can remove mine from the list. I really didn't think anyone would second it.
