He should have saved about 20 of his books, being released each year after he dies, like Frank Zappa albums. I like the idea of King releasing books beyond the grave.
I still think we’ll get plenty of King from beyond the grave…the man is a machine!
Maybe he has 20+ books that are saved for just that purpose. He writes so much material.
@jasonw586 I would not be at all surprised
Stephen King is the GOAT in my opinion.
No arguments from me!
Thanks for culling together all this for us, tis greatly appreciated !
I, too, have a feeling there might be...something later on in the year...fingers crossed
Indeed! Really hoping for at least another thing next year!
Im very excited to hear this definitely will be checking my library for the book 😊
Yessss 🔥🔥
This sounds amazing! I can't wait. Thanks Dave! Next year should be epic. I read Carrie in 1975. I was 12. An original Constant Reader.
That’s so cool to have been there from the beginning.
Thank you!!
Very, very, *very* cool!
I've been wanting to re read Cujo for a while. Now I almost have to! Soon! Love your videos!
Thanks! I might have to reread it before May too!
Six to nine minutes in: you like it brighter? Jokes aside, very excited for this collection. Hope to be finished with going through his body of work in time for May 21st. Especially intrigued by The Dreamers as I believe that’s the one he’s dedicating to the memory of Cormac McCarthy. (Curious to see what impact that has on the story.) Love your work, Dave! Keep it up!
That joke made my day - genuinely the first comment I’ve ever used the ‘love’ reaction on! And that’s a great fact about The Dreamers…even more interested in it now!
Rattlesnakes for me, looking forward to that one.
Great video😎👍🏻
Same here!
Thanks very much for this interesting review. I can't wait !
You’re welcome!
Very excited for Rattlesnakes, but the whole collection sounds like classic kingian horror.
Thanks for the update!
It really does - I have a very good feeling about this one!
Have to read this. Like covers also.
🔥🔥🔥
The fact that it’s called you like it darker, shows that this will be pure king terror
Fingers crossed!
I definitely get more excited for King’s shorter fiction than for his novels-especially these days. I’m not really a fan of either of those covers, though.
His shorter work has consistently been excellent across his career, I’m totally with you!
I can't wait, I love a short story especially after the last 2 disappointing books. And when did JJ Abrahams start directing your videos!
I just hired him this week! How would you say he’s getting on??
It looks amazing!!! I can’t wait for the 19 reasons to read this book.
Same!
Check back in about a year! 😅
I might actually buy this brand new book next year
🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌
I’m a huge collection of his short stories fan
Wait, wait - did you get your words muddled here, or do you collect fans of Stephen King short stories?? 😂😂
CR here...I once wrote SK, (after his accident, and around a time he was slowing in writing scary and more about personal and politics) "Fun is fun, but done is not done. Don't turn out the lights, just yet, on scary beautiful." I understand covid as a topic, a plague, but also, maybe, about the scary and weird joy for those that liked everyone in cabin mentality. What about those that thrived, and loved it? I can't, I am not a storyteller, I don't have the mind to take that somewhere scary and surreal and amazing. He does. Spin covid 180°; I can't imagine (which is why I am a CR) what that would look like...but it would be canon, and only SK could do it right/write.
Interesting! I’m sure he could do it!
May is right before my birthday, so happy birthday to me lol. I haven’t read or really heard of any of these stories so I am excited. I like the American cover better. The big alligator is intriguing to me.
I recently listened to Laurie on YT. Very sweet and endearing story.
Excellent! And yeah, the cover is above nod to Laurie
I almost always like UK covers better than the ones here in the US. But, in this case, I think I like the US cover better.
The more I see it, the more I do too
Awesome Stephen King collection of Novels I love it. I’m reading The Institute right now. What is the Author of Full Throttle on your shelf, looks interesting?
Full Throttle is Joe Hill - Stephen King’s eldest son. It’s short stories and features one co-written by father and son!
@DaveReadsKing Thank you I’ll check that out
Ooh why so long!!! I really like his short stories and novellas!!!
I know! Hopefully the time will fly by
Great news, I enjoyed Holly ,can't wait for the new book
I’m very excited for this one!
I like the u.s cover it looks way better definitely would read the book with that cover
Yeah, each time I look at them I prefer the US cover
Hi dave,ive recently got into the king books.And have found your videos very helpful.ive decided to preorder this book what king books would suggest i read this one is released.Thanks keiran
Thanks for the kind words Kieran! I think some of his other short story collections would be a great place to go to next - specifically Night Shift, Skeleton Crew and Everything’s Eventual! If you’re looking for novels, maybe go for Salem’s Lot, The Dead Zone and - in preparation for Rattlesnakes in the new one - Cujo. 👍👍
Thanks for your guidance 👍👍
@kieranelliott5905 any time!
Is it just me of does this title sound wrong? Darkest Shadows or The Darkest Nights would suit better IMO rather than sounding like he’s asking us what we prefer!
It’s definitely an unusual title - I’m sure it’ll get explained somewhere in the book…maybe in his intro/afterword
@@DaveReadsKing I think it may be a Leonard Cohen homage? I recall he did a song or album called "You Like it Darker" or very similar - I'll have to look. (updating) - It's "You Want it Darker" - a studio album where that was the title song.
@parisgreen4600 ah, there it is!
@@DaveReadsKing Great! I didn't know anything about this new collection, so now I feel like I'm up to speed having watched your vid.
@parisgreen4600 you’re so welcome!
Why don't they release a bigger short story collection?? Only 12 stories?? That's too low even night shift had 20 stories and why don't they release a big short story collection like 30-40 stories with some old short stories from 70s 80s or 90s which are difficult to get like im still waiting for king to make a short story or novella from the comics "the crate".the crate would be lovely to read as a written format other than comics
I hear you, although this new collection is still pushing 500 pages, so there should be plenty there! As for the Crate, I’m pretty sure you can find that one online as a short story - I know I’ve read it
Hype
You know it!
Had no clue he is a fan of Leonard Cohen!
Me neither!
Like the U.S. cover, very sinister!!!
Yep - snappy too!
If the title is accurate, I’m in. Might sound weird, but I’m really into very bleak stories, and it’s something I’m trying to convey in my own writing. Cheers, Dave mate.
You’re very welcome!
Being in Germany, I order the UK releases. I like those covers better.
Nice 👍
Before *
US cover is much better as they usually are😎👍🏻
True!
US cover looks better
Yep, the more I see it the more I agree
