![Reading some thrillers and finding a new all time favorite 👻 [reading vlog]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/u0vZfAfq6EQ/mqdefault.jpg)
King has struggled in his life with alcoholism as well as drug and cigarette addiction and those themes and struggles show up a lot in his work, especially his older work when he was in the thick of it. So that's probably why there were at least a few stories in that collection that have to do with that sort of thing.
The Boogeyman scarred me as a child. It’s still one of my favorite King short stories and I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
Just fyi: Quitter's Inc. and more of King's short stories were featured in the 1985 movie "Cat's Eyes"...it might be an older movie, but it's worth it.
I can't believe you found Jerusalem's Lot boring! Such a good story!
I found it boring too
It seems like love letter to lovecraft and Dracula. I dig it for the atmosphere.
I love how excited you always are. It gives me more enthusiasm to want to read
I fell asleep briefly (v tired) and woke up to you explaining the lawnmower man o.O
🤣🤣🤣
I got second hand creep from watching your reactions while reading 😱😂🙊
Gabby is always such a whole mood
You should watch the movie Children of the Corn. I watched it when I was a kid and it scared me so much!
I didn't realize how many Stephen King movies come from this short story collection! I need to try this collection.
I didn't realize that too . You stand by me that is based on Stephen King's short book on the body. and I just recently found out that children of the corn was a short story by Stephen King like not to recently .
Actually I liked Jerusalem's lot.
It's very lovecraftian
I swear I’m like the only person who hasn’t read a king book 💀
Nope not alone on that 😂 Though I’ll be starting IT this week for a read-a-long that @oliviareadsalatte is hosting on her discord.
i’m trudging through IT currently. and its literally taking me months..i don’t want to DNF it after already reaching 700 pages, but god i want it to end! i’m not used to long books😂
There's something about the prose that makes it hard for me to get started.
I haven’t either. You’re not alone.
you're not alone...
You should definitely watch the Children Of The Corn movie now! (The original one, not any of the crappy sequels or remakes)
You should read also Everything's Eventual and Skeleton Crew!!!
Finally an upload!!💞
I am watching ur videos from last 2 weeks and u've become my fav. Booktuber🌼
And of course now I have adapted the habit of tapping my book each and every time I pick it up😅
Also this video was awesome 👍👌
Luv ya GABBY..🌼💗
Aw thank you!! 🥰
@@gabbyreads with which book of ALICE OSEMAN should i start with cause i am planning to read one? HELP PLZ!
Sometimes They Come Back rang a bell for me. I feel like there was a 90s movie adaptation that I borrowed from the video store.
There is an adaptation of it I have it on dvd 😂
Wait are you talking about the movie Small Soldiers? If so, that movie traumatized me too 😂. I watched it when I was a kid and thought it was gonna be another Toy Story like movie and it most definitely was not 😬.
Loved the vlog!
Yes I can’t remember what it was called haha!! So traumatizing!! 🤯
I was wondering which SK book I should pick up next - i'm only 10 minutes into the video and you really make me want to read Night Shift now 😄 looks so good!
I feel the same wayyyy I just bought the book today because of this vlog .
Pet Sematary, Misery, The Stand (currently reading @1000 pages), 11/22/63, The Shining.
My favorites of SK as of now.
I have an irrational fear of wood chippers considering I have never even been near one but just seeing them gives me the worst scenarios in my head 😩😩😩
Ima excuse me how is always raining tell me where you live I’m moving now
😂 WTF the lawn mower man sounds SO WEIRD I love it
There's a lot of adaptions to all these short stories! I love this collection so much it's one of my favorites and one for the road is my all time favorite it's sooooo perfect to me
My Professor had the nerve to assign hw when there is a Gabby video... Uggghhh...Rude!!!🙄So excited to see this video!!! 🤗
You should read Full Dark, No Stars it’s a collection of 4 novellas by Stephen King. The rats in this book tho 😷
Trying for more than four stories at a sitting is asking for confusion: They jostle each other for brain time.
Night Shift & Everythings Eventual are probably my favorite Stephen King short story books! 💕
While you were reading this as the video went on I couldn't wait until you got to The Lawnmower Man because it really is just so weird and wtf.
Is it sad if had this book for YEARS but now I wanna read it lol
15:10 the reaction
Your review of The Lawnmower Man was hilarious 😂. I wish you would review Skeleton Crew.
The adaptation for Trucks is Maximum Overdrive, I believe. The only thing I remember clearly about that movie is the AC\DC soundtrack. So many of those short stories were made into movies, some better than others. I love Stephen King short story collections.
I think they optioned The Boogeyman for a movie or tv shows or something recently.
I just have to say I love your dog so much!! Me and my boyfriend want a frenchie so bad they’re just so much and we’re saving up to move out... but as soon as we can we’re getting one! 😉🥺
I am so freaking excited ab this video
Read “The Long Walk” written by Stephen king under his pen name Richard Bachman. My FAVORITE
I think she read it already
I have a link for a reading vlog I did for this book in the description!
The Long Walk is one of my favorite Bachman books! It’s the only open ended book I like, and it’s one of Stephen King’s best.
Ordered IT movie tie in edition ... didn't watch the movie or series yet ... excited to binge read
As far as I'm concerned this is his strongest short story collection. You are right that he really shines with the shorter format. The titular Graveyard Shift short has always been my favorite from this collection. I had forgotten how many of these were made into movies. Trucks became Maximum Overdrive, Children of the Corn got adapted and The Lawnmower Man became the biggest turd of a movie ever and had absolutely nothing to do with the source material. Try picking up his novella collection Different Seasons. Three out of those stories were adapted into movies and I think has some of his best story telling of his career.
I think “Night Surf” is better if you’ve already read The Stand. I’m biased I think though bc I read The Stand before Night Shift and The Stand is my favorite novel of all time lol
i really loved this video!! now all i can think about is reading my stephen king bachman books
Wait, did I miss the video where you said WHY you dnfed Mr. Mercedes? I wasn't a major fan of it, but I'm curious why it is you DNFed it.
I haven't read Night Shift and several others. Although, I did really enjoy Everything's Eventual. It has a lot of favorites for me, among those, 1408.
There is a movie with the Lawnmower man. I honestly, I dont remember much. It was just weird. It is very old. I forgot it existed before you reminded me.
Everytime I watch your videos I read straight after, best motivation.
I just finished this book. I really enjoyed The Mangler and Trucks. Trucks was actually made into a movie called Maximum Overdrive which wasn’t the greatest but was extremely entertaining. It was full on Cocaine King, the whole soundtrack was Ac/Dc an Emilio Estevez killed it by playing the lead. I recommend watching it at least once for anyone that enjoys a little bit of horror with a few cringy laughs.
I love this book and i am going to read this in October and i hope you like it love you and your channel love 💖 John from Australia
I so get the fear from Toy Soldiers
The movie Maximum Overdrive was loosely based on Trucks.
Omg I remember hearing this somewhere I totally forgot about this 💥💥💥💥💥
I immediately placed this in my cart. I've been wanting to read Stephen King, but his books are quite intimidating and I didn't know where to start! I think this will be a good one to start with. 🤗
OH I JUST GOT MY COPY OF NIGHT SHIFT YESTERDAY
Thank you for giving a detailed review on the Night Shift short story collection.
Gabby I love you so much ❤️
During this point and Stephen King’s life he was battling substance abuse with alcohol cigarettes and other substances. Also “The Lawn Mower Man” was made into a movie is 1992.
Synopsis:The eccentric Dr. Lawrence Angelo (Pierce Brosnan) puts mentally disabled landscaper Jobe Smith (Jeff Fahey) on a regimen of experimental pills and computer-simulated training sequences in hopes of augmenting the man's intelligence. In time Jobe becomes noticeably brighter and also begins to fare much better with the opposite sex. But, as he develops psychic powers, he realizes that those around him have taken advantage of his simplicity his whole life, and he plots a bloody revenge.
I think Stephen King actually sued to get his name off of that movie. They kind of just named it after that short story and slapped his name on it so it would have name recognition and more people would see it. I think he won and they had to take his name off of it but by then it had done the job they wanted it to.
It didn’t really have anything to do with the story except for one scene of a man eating lawnmower
I'm gonna give that soundtrack a try next time I read a horror novel!
Also, hi I love you
You absolutely should watch the 80s version of Children of the Corn (with Linda Hamilton and Peter Horton) and the movie Cat's Eye since it covers both The Ledge and Quitters Inc. I really think you would enjoy both of those movies!!
12:27 The Transition 👏👏👏 you're gold girl
Haha thanks!! 🤣😅
So excited. I own this book but never read it.
Laughing about The Lawnmower Man lol! He does come up with some weird fucking ideas lol! It made me think, imagine being Stephen Kings Editor lol!
Quitters Inc. And The Boogeyman are also two of my favourites! And I know it's an unpopular opinion but I loved The Last Rung on the Ladder, I thought it was so sad! You NEED to read Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King! It's a collection of 4 novelllas starting with 1922, which I know you loved. And Big Driver, Fair Extension and A Good Marriage. If you end up reading it, I would be really interested in hearing your thoughts on A Good Marriage!!
I want to read that collection soon! 🥰
Guys if you’ve read Night Shift can you tell me if it’s considered horror!
Thank you in advanceeee💞
You make me laugh soooo much!,, love these videos
These are probably a good transition into Stephen King.
OH LETS GO
Ok you’re making me want to pick this book back up. I really didn’t like the first 4 or 5 stories so I gave up. Maybe I’ll read it throughout October. Maybe a story a night 🤷🏻♀️ Great vlog per usual Gabby!
That sounds like a fun idea!! 😍 I hope you do enjoy it if you pick it up again! Thank you 🥰
The Lawnmower Man - the mower works for the god Pan. It's all about sacrifice to Pan. If that helps you make sense of the story.
Children of the corn. Not cornfield. And King have more than 50 novels, and just few are slow burner
Your vlogs always put me in a reading mood even if I am in the middle of a reading slump 🤓
Just started reading this aswell. The mangler freaked me out so much! 😳
Would you recommend reading salems lot before this, or doesn't it really matter much
There is an Indian movie based on quitters inc. Name of the movie is No Smoking.
I read this for the reading rush this year! The forward is so cute 💕
I found an old copy in a free little library, it says to so-and-so 1978
The weird thing is was that king was still smoking while he was writing quitters inc
Yess finally, I’ve been waiting for a new horror book video :)
BoredFruit nobody cares
I love the Sometimes They Come Back movie.
Second 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I think about buy it on eBay next month
Oh my gosh I'm totally putting of the Haunting of Hill House soundtrack on for my next spooky read!!! I know someone that got their hand stuck in a machine and ripped off all the tips of his fingers. The scars are crazy and he can't do much at all now because he feels everything right to his bone now!! Eeeeeeeeeeeek
The spoop begins!
I read this over a weekend around 1981 or '82 when I was in college and I had a semester with no out-of-class work and a weekend where I didn't have to work. On impulse, I grabbed the book just as the school library was closing that Friday afternoon. I thought i read all of it but years later I picked up the book again and found I hadn't read all the stories! Oh and John McDonald's and Mr. King's opening to the collection should be read; there are no spoilers. ("The shape under the sheet." Brrrr!)
I’m surprised you haven’t read The Stand by Stephen King... It’s always been my favorite. It’s the only one I usually read about every 4 or 5 years. So far it’s been 3 times.. The movies...eh... Anyway, my top Stephen King book, followed by The Shining and IT. I’ve never read the Night Shift, but have seen most of the movies. I’m gonna give it a shot. Enjoyed your video!
I’ve counted 28 books by Stephen King on my bookshelves, all except 11/22/63 were read in the 1990’s! One of the is night shift! I don’t remember it that much but I remember learning the meaning of “night shift” (English is my third language)
You are encouraging me to revisit some of his books now, and maybe pick up quitter’s inc tonight!
I was surprised to hear you dnf'd Mr. Mercedes, not that there's anything wrong with you opinion of it, it just surprised me seeing how you seem to LOVE thrillers. I'm am curious though. Did you quit reading because you didn't actually like the story or did you quit it because you went into it expecting the typical Stephen King experience and didn't get that(I totally understand because it's not horror, but outright thriller)? Would you have dnf'd it if it was an author you'd never read before? I'm an avid SK reader so of course I've read it (and actually loved it....still not saying it's not okay that you didn't). My mom (and a couple of friends) really don't like SK but love thrillers and (reluctantly) read it due to my recommendations. They LOVED it. These people loved the first book but the 2nd and especially the 3rd....not so much because typical SK started creeping in to the story. Anyway.....back to your video.
The rain tho💚
Some of those stories are movies
I remember reading an extract Stephen King said about his books/short stories. He said, I always think, hmm what if... happened. I thought that was an really interesting way to come up with a story.
Please please please 🙏 read Duma Key please you will love it please gabby please gabby 💖 🙏 💗 ❤ 💕 💜 💖 🙏 💗 ❤ 💕
I just finished Full Throttle by Joe Hill. I think there were 13 short stories, and I only disliked 2 of them. SK co-wrote two of the stories also. The stories really stuck with me afterward and there were a few I really loved.
Your videos inspired me to try out horror/thriller novels for the first time a few months ago, and now I'm currently reading my first Steohen King book, too! 😊💕 I'm reading The Tommyknockers which is one of his more sci-fi novels. I get what you mean about his stories dragging from excessive details 😬
Love this book and your review. Def my favorite short story book by King. "I am the doorway" was great and I loved the Salems Lot stories...there all great!
Some of these you might want to revisit again some day. I read Night Shift when I was younger and didn't like Last Rung On The Ladder or The Woman In The Room and neither resonated with me but now thirty years later they definitely have more meaning than they did in my late teens, early twenties. Lisey's Story was the same way for me. DNF'd when I read it in my twenties but later I absolutely loved it.
Hi
No gonna lie... I laughed Sooooo hard when you were talking about the lawn mower man 😂 I'm trying to study a really serious topic and I just couldn't after that!
Nice to have another Stephen King reading vlog from you! Night Shift was the first short story collection that I reas by King and it was so good! Most of the stories were really good and I enjoyed reading this book :)
The Man in the Black Suit is my favorite Stephen King short story. It is terrifying and it won a prestigious fantasy award. Worth a read.
I’m so jealous of the rainy weather 😭. I’m getting sick of the sun and heat. It doesn’t even remotely feel like Fall yet.
I watched the movie the lawnmower man when I was little and to this day I’m afraid of being chopped up by a lawnmower blade lol and I loved the movie children of the corn. Such a classic.
This video totally did make me buy the night shift lol 😅. I am thinking about doing a Stephen King reading vlog Soon I just don't know what book to do first .
Rats are actually not scary they are actually my favorite small pet of all time. They are like having a dog and a cat and a bird all wraped up into one personality. Very smart very social and almost ocd with cleaning themselves. 😁
The audiobook version of The Mangler is so good! Good sound effects
Maximum Overdrive I think is based off of the short story Trucks, and it scared me so much as a kid. 🙈
