Review: If you've read Hearts in Atlantis, there is no point to this book. If you've read Different Seasons, or Night Shift, there isn't much point to read this book. If you haven't read those books, there might be some merit in reading this book. This books looks at 5 of King's books/short stories that got turned into films (The Shawshank Redemption, 1408, Hearts in Atlantis/Low Men In Yellow Coats, The Mangler, and Children of the Corn. The first 2 weren't bad, but they dropped off pretty quickly after that, though The Mangler was pretty good, as it reminded me a little of Carrie in the telling, My grumble is that I can't really see the point of this book. They aren't the books that made the best films, and any committed King reader will have read most of them before. In addition, it's worth noting that the three later books I mentioned weren't particularly good films, so why anyone would be interested in them is beyond me quite frankly.

    Price: £19.99

    Description: From Yale's English Monarchs series, the most authoritative picture yet of King Stephen King has written a masterpiece that reveals how a medieval political community can both consume and then reconstitute itself and offers readers a king emblematic of his truncated, troubled age. | ?? Choice King Stephen's reign (1135-1154), with its 'nineteen long winters" of civil war, made his name synonymous with failed leadership. After years of work on the sources, Edmund King shows with rare clarity the strengths and weaknesses of the monarch. Keeping Stephen at the forefront of his account, the author also chronicles the activities of key family members and associates whose loyal support sustained Stephen's kingship. In 1135 the popular Stephen was elected king against the claims of the empress Matilda and her sons. But by 1153, Stephen had lost control over Normandy and other important regions, England had lost prestige, and the weakened king was forced to cede his family's right to succession. A rich narrative covering the drama of a tumultuous reign, this book focuses well-deserved attention on a king who lost control of his destiny.

    Description: 2014 marks the 40th anniversary of the publication of Stephen King's first novel Carrie in April 1974. Rescued from the rubbish by his wife Tabitha, the novel launched the Maine schoolteacher on a prolific and extraordinarily successful career. His name has become synonymous with horror and suspense through over fifty works, including The Dark Tower, a retelling of Byron's Childe Harold to the Dark Tower Came. Simpson traces the writer's life from his difficult childhood - his father went out to the shops and never came back - through his initial books under the pseudonym Richard Bachman to the success of Carrie, Salem's Lot and The Shining in the 1970s, and beyond. He examines how King's writing was affected by the accident that nearly killed him in 1999 and how his battles with alcohol and addiction to medication have been reflected in his stories. The guide will also take a look at the very many adaptation's of King's work in movies, on television and radio, and in comic books.

    Description: Stephen risked being seen as a man who never quite transcended the essential flawed-ness of his claim to be king. His actions betrayed uneasiness in his new skin' Remembered as a time in which 'Christ and his saints slept', Stephen's troubled reign plunged England into anarchy. Without clear rules of succession in the Norman monarchy, conflict within William the Conqueror's family was inevitable. But, as this resonant portrait shows, there was another problem too: Stephen himself, unable to make good the transition from nobleman to king.
