To celebrate the release of Stephen King’s latest shortest story collection You Like It Darker, The Losers’ Club is unlocking their premiere episode of The Stephen King Archives, a Patreon exclusive imprint in which your Losers search the vault of King material – dusting off unpublished short stories, long-forgotten interviews, coffee-stained manuscripts, and alternate versions of your favorite tales. In the past, they’ve covered the stories within “The Body”, the uncollected Creepshow tales, and King’s EW columns.
This particular episode, recorded in 2021, zeroes in on King’s earliest stories, specifically 1956’s “Jhonathan and the Witchs”, 1963’s The Aftermath, and 1965’s “I Was a Teenage Grave Robber”. What are these stories? Where did they come from? Listen ahead as Losers Randall Colburn, Jenn Adams, and Michael Roffman parse through these early, early works. And to help us out, they even consulted the one and only Bev Vincent. And, as you’ll hear, the writer and noted King scholar had much to say on these works.
Stream the discussion below and stay tuned next week for an interview with Sharon Kitchens on her new book Stephen King’s Maine. For further adventures, join the Club via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. You can also unlock hundreds of hours of content in The Barrens (Patreon), including more Archives episodes like this episode.
