Stephen King Reads from His Book, If It Bleeds
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Legendary storyteller Stephen King has a new collection of short stories and he's reading the first chapter from the collection for fans. Learn more about If It Bleeds: bit.ly/3ahg6xn
If It Bleeds, offers readers four more works sure to prove as iconic as their predecessors. In the title story, reader favorite Holly Gibney (from the Mr. Mercedes trilogy and The Outsider) must face her fears, and possibly another outsider-this time on her own. In “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone” an intergenerational friendship has a disturbing afterlife. “The Life of Chuck” explores, beautifully, how each of us contains multitudes. And in “Rat,” a struggling writer must contend with the darker side of ambition.

Stephen King "I hope you like it" Me...." I loved it before you even opened the book."
Janina S. I mean honestly just seeing that this video was eight minutes long made me emotional lol
@@jessicab2409Agree. I think he affects all his constant readers that way.
I said "oh, I will" 😂♥️
Janina S. IKR
Janina S. What’s your fave Stephen King novel/story? Always curious what King fans love the most from him.
please, live forever Mr.King, cause i can't imagine my (or anyone's) life without your masterpieces
Amen!!😊✌
Yes! Amen to that!
even when he passes, he's written so many that it would take a life time to read, re-read, and re-read all of them.
I hope he lives to 120.
Is he ill? He cannot!
Stephen King is America's weird, but lovable grandpa.
I'll take 'weird' over creepy _anyday!_ 😆😆
I wish he were my dad! I love him! Big fan for over 35 yrs. He is the best writer, can really tell a story!
Mr king I'd like to give you a great big ol THANK YOU for all the entertainment you have given me. As far as I know I've got everything you've published. So please keepem coming you're the BEST😎😎
Digitalhunny that’s questionable 😂🤣😂
ya hes crazy. dont listen to him..... well listen to him but hes crazy
Can't wait for this one... Haven't missed one of his since 1977, when a friend gave me a book called Salem's Lot. I was a young woman, pregnant with my second child. My husband was out playing poker one evening, so I put my young son to bed and sat down for a quiet little read. I ended up phoning my husband to come home because I had to go to the bathroom and I was too scared to walk through the house alone! Now I'm 66, and have been a Constant Reader my whole adult life. What would we do without these books?? Looking forward to another wild ride...Stay safe everyone.
Jan Upczak me too. Started reading his stuff in 78. Have hard copy of everything he’s published
I remember being 16, 1984-ish, and reading Salem’s Lot late at night. I was absolutely terrified. I was sleeping over at my boyfriend’s (his parents were VERY progressive) and kept “accidentally” kicking him to wake him up because I was also scared to go to the bathroom by myself. Danny Glick was certain to be hanging out in front of the bathroom window...
@@Mineminemine8 I know!!! I just KNEW Danny Glick would be at the bathroom window, lol! I still do sometimes!😵
@@dianegordon9713 👍👍👍👍❤
Dear Jan Upczak,
👍
💃🏽
This book is the one thing that’s made the last 2 months tolerable. There is nothing better than a King novella collection!
Sweet buttery Jesus! 'Bout time. This current story that began at 666, 5th Avenue is getting *really* scary.
How did you get it two months ago if it's yet to be released?
@@MichaelWilliams-cd9if I was wondering the same thing!
An ARC, I would imagine
Daniel Corey ssssoooo true
I'm still amazed by how easy it is for King to pull me into his stories.
He's a master storyteller for sure!
A Master Satanist too! Yeah ya missed that part..go ask King what color his Robe is! Go On!
Yes, that lovely bastard ❤
Da_Most_Shady exactly
@@jennyhildebrand9335 I agree Jenny. There are a lot of Satan worshipers here drooling over their master Satan.
I just love everything about him. Jesus christ what a cool dude.
That’s what I said lol 😂
Right!
Please don't swear and use God's name in that manner. Not impressed.
@@fatooshtkd you must be a blast at parties.
@@fatooshtkd lol
Kinda teared up on the "since it's just me and you. Constant Reader"
Same with a twinkle in those eyes just for us
Get a room ..
🤣🤡
@@OldHeathen1963read a book.
A true master,there will never be another like him.
❤
Amen
Not with that attitude
@@wayne909 what attitude? Hes very nice.
@@healthygirl412 I'm not talking about Stephen
I grow up with this guy's books! I live in iran and I couldn't access his works when I was younger, but I didn't give up and I managed to read his masterpieces. Until about 7 years ago everything changed! I bought a kindle paperwhite(yeah, it's still working) and I read all of his works on it! Actually I learnt english from his books! And every one of his works are very special and personal to me and in the time period that I was reading them my life was like the stories in his books too! Somehow his characters resonate with me a lot! The last time that I could imagine myself in his work was a few month ago when Iran regime shut down the internet and was busy killing its own people I could imagine myself living in his book "Under the dome"! I could feel how exactly felt the characters in that novel. I love this guy, he's awesome, and I hope someday I can live in america and I buy all of his books legally, because I can't buy his books here in iran. Sorry stephen, I had to resort to piracy to read your books! But I promise as soon as I could live in a free country, I will buy all of your works!
Dear Rameen Alikhani,
👍
💃🏽
Somehow I don't think he'd mind. You learned a WHOLE new language just from his books! No I don't condone piracy especially for Kings works but if it helped someone and to read the joy it had helped them it makes me smile! He's my top favorite author
Wow! That broke my heart! Books are gifts and stay with you forever, especially from childhood! I didn't start reading his books till 28 years old, my abusive ex didn't let me read! I have read almost 10 and I love them all! 💖 I am glad for kindle also! God bless you! 🙏💖 Have you read any of his books by Richard Bachman???
I also use the Kindle and love reading his books on it. I'm in Europe and when our government and surroundings are not going well, it's just great to read Stephen King's books and imagine you're in another place. Stay safe brother and safe travels.
@@patriciaeroz5828 🙌🙌
A constant reader who can't wait to read this! Holly Gibney! A rare surprise, thanks to The King!
I haven't heard that name in ages. Was she the skinny girl with the orange and green hair?
Cooper Minion She’s a character who’s a medium from his book called The Outsider
@@shealunalee8856 now I remember her. She was the female partner in the Mr. Mercedes trilogy. I lost my copies after being ordered to clean my "library". It was a mess but I had everything where I could find it. Now I can't find anything
wattsfork1 he’s amazing right
wattsfork1 I’m so confused with Holly Gibney. I didn’t realize she is black.... in the Trilogy: Mr. Mercedes, etc... his characters are so clearly depicted!!!!! Same thing with Abbra. I hope Mr. King hasn’t developed J.K.Rowling ( guilty white author) syndrome
The King is back!
I don't think he every left. 😉
Did he ever leave? Well ok maybe for a bit but not in the last 10 years! :)
And don't you ever leave, Stephen! I love your stories and and in them, your sense of humour. With love from Denmark.
@@lottenielsen9667 lol hes not the real one, girl/boy.just another fake account of a sad boy who needs subs for smth..
@@johnd7760 i checked his account , he's just probably a fan of Master King , nothing too alarming
wouldn't it be awesome if Mr King would start a project reading his own books from the present (or past)and release them as audio books ???
That would be amazing.
Yes! Definitely something I need in life!
Oh my Gosh! Then I'd have to go back and repurchase all of his audio books that I have again!.....and I totally would!😜
There are several audiobooks read by him already.
OMG Yes please!!!!
"Nemo me impune lecissat" is the family motto of the protagonist in Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado."
William Shaw for the love of God!
@@RyanHipp yes, for the love of God!
Thank you Steve for giving us something to look forward to during this pandemic! Can't wait for the full book!
Do you know how long it's been since I was excited for someone to read to me? I got all snuggled into the couch with a blanket and enjoyed story time! Looking forward to reading the book to see what happens!
Dear Melissa Frazell,
👍
💃🏽
I can't wait!! I wish Stephen King could read all of his books to me! This is gonna be great!
When is it released
@@chicotheminecraft8399 next week
Thx you so much I can’t wait to get it from Walmart
Thank you so much. It is my privilege to be your Constant Reader.
I love the way Stephen king narrates his own stories. I've got the desperation audiobook narrated by King but I wish all my audiobooks were! It's the same with Douglas Adams except he's narrated all of his books because there are so few of them. Also, what a great first chapter! I want more!
I hope you listend to the first 4 The Dark Tower audiobooks by Frank Muller (RIP), especially Wizard and Glass. OH MY he is a master doing all the different voices in there (both male and female) a true legend and #gonetoosoon :(
@@sjsphotog oh yeah, Frank Muller is an absolute legend when it comes to audiobooks. I have found 2 dark tower books narrated by him on audible but the other ones are narrated by someone else and I'd prefer to have the whole series narrated by 1 person. Preferably frank muller. Have you heard him do 1984? That was my first frank muller experience and I've been a fan ever since.

Andi de Jager, Wow, you have “Desperation” on audiobook? I got the hardcover when it was 1st released. And “The Regulators”, which is the companion novel to “Desperation”, released at the same time. Not the boxed set. My long-ago ex got possession of “Regulators”, and I got the other, better (I thought) novel. My books are here, somewhere. I’d love to locate the one that I kept, right about now.
samlerf, “Elevation” must be one I’ve missed.
The best thing you can ever get. A book written by Stephen King, that is being read to you by Stephen King himself!!
Thank you Stephen King...Take care and stay safe!
Who else got wide eyed shocked towards the end, fingers covering my mouth. 😱
I could listen to Mr. King read all day. Loving the continuation of familiar characters like Holly Gibney. Been a long time since we've had that treat. Can't wait to listen to the rest.
Way to GIVE back!! Thank you, Stephen King
I ordered the book from Amazon as soon as it was announced. Rec'd an email from them a week or so ago telling me that they couldn't deliver it on the release day. Bummer. So I went to Audible & ordered it. When - or IF this ol world ever gets back to normal, I will order a hardcover because I always buy a hardcover of your books. Thank You for making this world a better place for me, and I am sure so many others. I'd love if Holly Gibney and Roland met up. Probably never happen but what a time that would be. Stay safe, and please give our best to Tabitha. She's still one of my all time favorite authors.
But why Amazon?
Reading this now. The first story, Mr. Harrigan’s Phone, is superb.
Agree Read it yesterday.
Agreed. I even shed a tear or 2
Dear Gerard Martinez,
👍
💃🏽
Yeah that one is brilliant!
Got the book this morning and just finished Mr. Harrigan. Worth waiting for.
I am looking forward to reading this book and getting away from the troubles of the world for awhile. God bless 🙏 you and your family, Stephen King. And please stay safe!!!!
I can finally drift away from this world...*finally*
You can only hope this pandemic ends. And remember, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
The blessing is lost on him, he worships Satan. Take a moment and go read his twitter comments @StephenKing. This is not a child of God by any stretch of the imagination.
Cannot wait! I'll also say, in case anyone is listening, that while there are many talented book readers who do Mr. King's work justice, I simply love, love, love hearing Mr. King read his own work. His command of voice is simply amazing.
Indeed
"Edward Hopper, the patron saint of social distancing" That's just brilliant.
Pre-Ordered If It Bleeds as soon as it was available. Just like all your books. HUGE bonus anytime you read to us! I love all the books you narrated hoping you might do more. Keep the amazing albeit on occasion heart stopping stories coming :-) huge fan since age 11 and Carrie released in 1974.
Kim R I was just watching it and decided to check utube for any news and SK, announced he had a new book out.
O my gosh! That was the best thing I've heard in forever, Stephen king reading to me, this clearly amazing story that he wrote! And right here so close to my birthday! That was about the best birthday present I could ask for, next to meeting him in person! I'm getting this book A.S.A.P! Thanks For Doing This Mr Stephen King! Amazing!
Dear Crystal Sharp,
👍
💃🏽
Yes! I'm hooked. The little local bookstore remains open for curbside pick up. Should be a perfect pandemic companion.
I never thought I'd be even as close as "socially distanced" to my favorite author of all time.. the amazingly terrific Stephen King. I'm giddy with excitement!
Long time fan here, looking forward to this! Thank you for hosting and giving fans a connection their favorite authors!
Amazon told me my copy will arrive next Thursday and it made my day! Can’t wait! Thank you for reading to us. Stay safe and healthy.
Thank you for taking the time to read to your fans, Mr. King.
I've been reading King for over 40 years. Still blows my mind how, like a fish, I never see the hook coming til it rips through my jaw and catches me.
That was fun. Can't wait to get the book.
Thank you for reading it in your voice and not doing a falsetto when Mrs. Keller is speaking. You've intrigued me. I'm looking forward to reading the rest.
Oop I need that shirt now 🥺 my fave story
Me too
It's become my favorite book! I love Pennywise and I hope that he does a proper sequel (i know that he and Maturin the Turtle appear in other books. I'm on book three of the dark tower) But if he could return to the shining, then he might with it

Me too - it would go with my Losers Club badge that I wear with pride ✌🏻
I love how almost everyone agrees holly gibney is one of the best including king himself
I can't stand her character. She's even worse in print than she is on screen (TV). I couldn't get through Mr. Mercedes or Finders Keepers. Awful, awful writing and an awful, awful character. Whatever touch SK once had is now gone. He'll never write another Stand or another Green Mile or another Misery. I'll skip this one and wait for his next work. Hopefully it has some original content.
Titus McCarthy have u read Wind Through the Keyhole? On par with classic King imo.
This is my first English book I’m so happy haha😁 I’m still kinda young (13) so I’ll have to try hard to understand everything that is going on but I’m happy that it’s a book from Stephen king since I’ve heard that he’s one of the best writers really excited to read it!
ohhh such a GREAT present! what a joy to be a constant reader of stephen King
Can’t read to read the book. Sounds like a very interesting collection of stories. Love how the story King read seems to start off happy but turns dark very quick.
So excited for this! I love the Holly character! Thank you Mr. King!
I can't love Uncle Stevie more... thank you! Am I starting to think like him after all the years of constant reading? Because as soon as I heard a guy delivering a package to a school put me to think about a boom boom. I cannot wait to read more about this story. Love the title. Heck, love Stephen. 🤷♀️💖💖💖
Currently reading The Stand for the first time. Figured that now would be an appropriate time to do so 😂 looking forward to getting around to this one!
Randall, As in Randall Flagg? “The Stand” is my all time Favorite SK novel! Its an engaging read, to say the least. Happy trails to you!
Me too.... read stand while in quarantine.... 😂
If you're reading The Stand for the first time, might I suggest you watch the original movie, afterwards (NOT the new mini series that's coming out soon)... you'll fall in love with the characters all over again ❤❤❤ except maybe Molly Ringwald, unless you like really love her as an actress... kind of like the original IT movie versus the newly remade version.
That my friends is how you hook a reader. Sounds like another piece of solid gold from the master.
What an amazing human being! Thank you!!!! Waiting to be released in Brazil
The world needs more Stephen Kings.
This man is a living legend on story telling, i love his style from first books.
steve, i could listen to you all day!!!! can't wait to find out what happens next!!!!
May he live forever.. what a great guy what a time to be alive to listen to his genius
This was the best way to start my weekend!! Thank you so much for reading it to us, your Constant Readers!!!
I can't wait to read this, just finished The Institute! Thank you for reading this short section!
Stephen King, greatest writer ever! Looking so forward to If It Bleeds.
Sounds like another King classic to add to the book shelf. Thank you from this constant reader.
I would lay down my life for this man
My son's namesake...always a pleasure to see & esp hear The King read. Thanks for your time during this crazy time.
I loved the reading. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us. I pre-ordered this book as soon as I received notice of it and I've been anxiously awaiting its arrival for months! Books are definitely a necessary commodity during this safe-at-home period, ESPECIALLY your books. I'm hoping I still receive your book on the release date.
Thank you Stephen from one of your Constant Readers in northern Ontario Canada. 🖐😷 You, Sir, are my FAVORITE author. That was awesome! I need to have this book in my collection and I will! You have whet my appetite for if It Bleeds and more of your stories. Having you read that first chapter will resound in my head as I read it once the book is in my hands. 💖
Thank you for the treat, Mr. King. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the story next week!
Time for another collection from Uncle Steve. He’s my favourite and he is just an amazing man.
Sounds good Thank you Stephen King 👍👍 can't wait to buy the book
Stephen King is definitely one of my very favorite authors. Thank you for sharing this ❤️.
Can’t wait to read the rest of the story. Thank you
Here is the only author who has delighted me for over 40 years, and who, by this reading, gives me the feeling of being "even closer than usual.
Bravo for his "wink" with the mask on the face, he takes off the mask and ... opens the book!
I am French, in France, and I salute you, Mr. King, you who have NEVER disappointed me in these four decades ...
My Stephen King favorites? "La Tour Sombre" & "Pet Semetery" and finally "Hodges trilogy" ("The Stand", to finish!)
Respectful greetings, Sir KIng.
Wonderful moment!! LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!!
Thank you! 🤩 I enjoyed it so much! Stay safe you too😊
Can't wait to buy and read! Great video, thank you all!
Can't wait until it is published in The Netherlands! Thank you for reading to us Mr. King!
There are loads of audio versions available read by the man himself.
On writing, and Bag of Bones are personal favourites
I know..me too. I know it sounds greedy, but, I cannot help it.
Can u believe i didn't read any king till age 40. Well I'm making up for lost time. Awesome author
I started reading Stephen King when I was 10...
Despite countless nightmares I regret nothing.
It is okay. I started with IT and never stopped.
Thank you from a Constant Reader in 🇸🇪
I am so back logged on King still. I was a casual reader, yet to reach that coveted "Constant" distinction. I randomly picked up "11/22/63" at the store one day, it just sounded so different than the stories I had read from him at that point. I was absolutely hooked and spotted some certain references to a book with a terrible clown that I had read prior. Naturally that led me to Google and I was shocked to learn that he had created his own multi-verse. I made it a mission to read every last thing he has released--- In order of publication. Lord, I did not realize just how dense this man's bibliography was. This led me on a very expensive hunt of tracking down his works retroactively--- Me being me, I needed everything as a true first edition/first pressing. I just wrapped up "Duma Key" and I feel like he just keeps front loading my reading list. Thank you, Mr. King for all of your work. Eventually i'll make it to this one and I'm sure by then you'll have released another 5-10 pieces of work on me. Until then, this one will be sitting on the shelf waiting for me to catch up.
Can’t wait for more Holly (and her voice, Will Patton)!
So proud to be a constant reader, Carrie being my first horror novel in 1978.
Loved this, thank you Mr King, always a pleasure to hear you read.
Mr. King, the first book I read was Christine when I was twelve. I'm a constant reader every since and am now 46. I absolutely adore Holly Gibney. The truth is, no one is capable of writing a book that I'm thinking about at work, can't wait to get to my reading time in the evening. What a time to be alive at the same time as Stephen King!
stephen king is the supreme master
This video is a big gift for constant reader! Thank you King! Thank you Master!
How many people would just skip ahead to If it Bleeds then read the other 3 novellas in the book. I know I would. 😁
I am a Constant Reader since 1974, but this is the first time I heard Stephen King read his work!! It's just awesome listening to him read his own book. And what a perfect time for him to release a new book. I'll start reading my copy of "It Bleeds" this evening. Thank you Stephen King!
I believe he’s recorded some audiobooks for his novels. I think he did one for Desperation, Bag of Bones and Needful Things.
Thank-you Stephen, I love your books and could listen to you read all day.
Is there anything better than Uncle Stevie reading his own book to us, constant readers? Love you so much dear Sir 💖
This sounds great! Can't wait to read it.
“Patron saint of social distancing” 😂😂 Bless this man for his humor and incredibly storytelling! Started reading his books at the beginning of this year and slowly collecting all of his work. 😊
i love how he's wearing a Losers club shirt
His audiobooks have kept me sane these last few weeks. Have read everything since Carrie when I was in 7th grade. He’s like a favorite uncle that comes by every once in a while and tells the best stories!
I’m hooked. Great chapter. My next read. Thanks for this
Loved it I’m definitely buying it. Thank you Stephen King. Take care and stay safe
Thankee Sai King!! May your days be long upon the earth.
Omg, this sounds fantastic! I've gotta read this. Cheers, Mr King!
Stephen King, my literary mentor. Congratulations on this new book that I can't wait to read!
I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO MEET YOU!!!!! Lol... but I’ll just have to keep wishing/dreaming!!!! Seriously... ALL MY RESPECT AND LOVE FOR YOU AND ALL YOUR STORIES!!! I remember begging my mom to read your books I saw on her HUGE “STEPHEN KING” Literal library!!! When she approved my age....my 1st book I read was “THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON” That book changed my life in SO many ways!!! And it was the start of my addiction to reading/watching..(preferably reading) every book, novella, short story... I could find!!! 6 years ago I got the 1 and only copy of “INSOMNIA “ in my town!!! ANOTHER UNAPPRECIATED AMAZING STORY/READ!!!!! STEPHEN KING FAN ALWAYS!!!! LOVE ANOTHER CONSTANT READER 💕 📚 💕 📖 💕
What a tease! I can't wait to see what Holly gets into.
lol
The master storyteller reading to us. It doesn't get any better!
Was looking forward to this coming out. Now I'm really looking forward to this coming out 😊😊
Can't wait to read it, Holly Gibney is a great character. ♥️
I pre-ordered the purple collectors edition, i can't wait for it to be delivered
Thank you for the reading Mr. King. I've pre-ordered your book and can't wait to receive it!
I like Holly Gibney too ever since the Hodges Trilogy! Didn't like how she was treated in the TV series however and how much it deviated from the source novel but I digress.
I could listen to him talk all day, say thankee.
The greatest storyteller of our generation.
