Stephen King’s ‘Dreamcatcher’ Makes the Case for Toilet Horror [The Losers’ Club Podcast]

March 25, 2022 Randall Colburn Dreamcatcher, Podcasts, sci-fi horror, Stephen King

“No bounce, no play…” Few Stephen King novels have as lousy a reputation as Dreamcatcher. It was the first fiction novel he released following his near-fatal 1999 accident, and the author famously wrote it while blown out of his mind on painkillers. And, yeah, it’s a weird book. There’s telepathic aliens, viral mold, psychotic government […]

As the driving force behind The Mountain Goats, John Darnielle has long been lauded for his rich, dense lyricism, where emotional landmines lay in wait beside deep references to classic literature, forgotten history, and pop cultural ephemera. The prolific songwriter published his debut novel, Wolf In White Van, in 2014, and that knotty and genre-steeped […]

In this edition of The Silver Lining, we’ll be discussing Mick Garris’ lesser-known Stephen King adaptation, Riding the Bullet. As of 2022, I think it’s safe to say that Stephen King is still the undisputed monarch of horror adaptations.
