The Relic is a really good book, that will keep you turning the pages. I flew thru it in a couple of nights and the last 50 pages kept me up well past my bed time.
I’m fairly new to collecting Stephen King books. My first book I bought was 30% off at Walmart around the time IT chapter 2 came out in theaters. I bought the 2016 paperback edition of IT. Then in 2020 for Christmas my mom bought me 5 king books from a lady she knew on Facebook who was selling them. She bought me; the first edition hardcover Pet Sematary, first edition hardcover Cujo, first edition paperback of Carrie, the paperback silver edition of The Shining, and the 1990 paperback motion picture cover art edition of Misery. Then she also gave me a free credit to use on Audible so I bought the audiobook of The Stand. I also got a Barnes and Nobles gift card for Christmas in 2020 so I bought the paperback first edition of 11/22/63 (mine has the Hulu logo on cover). Then someone on Facebook gave me for free the hardcover book club edition of FireStarter with no dust jacket. Then I bought from Barnes and Nobles online the collectors edition hardcover of The Stand. Then I went to a local bookstore in my town looking for Lisey’s Story by Stephen King and didn’t find the book but I did buy the first edition hardcover of Mr Mercedes for $13.05. The book was in perfect condition other than there was a coffee or soda spill on the dust jacket only. So far that’s all the King books I have.
Yes Hideaway was made into a movie staring Jeff Goldblum, Alicia Silverstone & Jeremy Sisto 😍. When anyone criticises you but to many books, just tell them at least its not drugs 😆 I said this to my mum a few mths ago, she just laughed & agreed & hasn’t said anything since 😆
Thank you! I've only read a few Dean Koontz books & your description fit them all. Great stories, keeping me interested, then drops off the edge of the cliff for the ending. So I gave up on him. Good luck though! Maybe they'll work for you.
for me, he wrote such terrible/stock/on the nose villains that were pure evil for evil's sake. in midnight he started losing me when he had a character's son be a metal head and the dad stomps on the kid's cds and hugs him. what rubbish. breathless and your heart belongs to me are two of the worst novels i've ever read. did anybody proofread/beta read for him on those?
I went out and bought The Alienist after watching the first episode of the TV show when it first aired. The book was alright. It had some historical details that weren't in the show but overall I thought the show was actually better. The show had better pacing and, in my opinion, improved the story by cutting some details that weren't necessary and added some components to the plot that made it more entertaining.
Nice pickups🙌 I'm halfway through Christine, really diggin it. I'm also reading I Know What You Did Last Summer👍 You should definitely watch the relic! Love that movie..great premise👌
his daring idea to have no section breaks, no chapters just makes the book that much more compelling. and i love that he ties it together with gerald's game.
You remind me of me like 5 years ago when I bought all of King's books in like one year, also all older copies😝It's addicting!! Ooh also make sure to avoid spoilers for yourself by reading the synopsis for the dark tower series books before you're reading the series! I think there can be major spoilers on book blurbs in series😭
I really need to get myself over to the US. Your thrift and charity shops have so many more books than the ones here in the UK. The shops here only ever have a couple of small shelves and mostly just have battered old Mills & Boon and old cookery books. I've never found a pristine Stephen King (especially hardback.)
yes but a bad day ready king is still better than a great day reading koontz. at least king never wrote breathless or your heart belongs to me. koontz had me as a reader with gems like midnight, shattered, whispers, and watchers. but i think i made the mistake of continuing, and he soon lost me as a fan.
@@austindolan7182 I will agree with you that a lot of Dean Koontz’s newer stuff is pretty terrible. But, so is Stephen King’s newer stuff. Later, elevation, if it bleeds (everything besides the title story). I’ve read a 30 King books and 20 Koontz books. All of The Koontz books I’ve read I have enjoyed. Are they works of art? No. But do they keep me entertained and always leave me feeling like I enjoyed the book. Yes. I haven’t read a Stephen King book that I really enjoyed in the past three years other than the outsider and the Institute.
Bag of Bones is good and you don't hear much about it. The Alienist whether the book or series is excellent. The Relic is also good. You lucked out on your book haul.
If you're gonna ready any of the stephen king books, DONT READ DREAMCATCHER. Ive read all of his books and it is the only one that I wouldn't go back and re read, it's bad😂
@@mandysmorgueofhorror Highly recommend Duma Key if you haven't read it already. It's got great scares and characters in. Probably my favorite novel of his (besides the Dark Tower series)
Hey Mandy, just subbed you. From one 90’s Goosebumps/horror fan to another. Your channel is great! Love your content. I don’t know if you remember my page from Instagram but I just followed you on there too. 😊👍🏻

"Intensity" is a pretty great book by Dean Koontz IMO. If you see a copy in the wild, I strongly endorse picking it up.
I think I may have picked it up - or I keep seeing it everywhere. I do want to read it!
Ive just started Koontz too, and read Frankenstein, which is really good!
So happy you're getting into Dean Koontz! Phantoms is 😍.
It really is good…for the most part lol.

i dont ever see you with any Robert McCammon books.. you should try him

Ok yes! That’s what I was thinking of, but I wasn’t sure. That movie freaked me out when I was little.

First dean koontz book was midnight and I definitely enjoyed it

That’s interesting to know!

Dolores Claiborne is so good🖤 my fave Stephen king book so far
his daring idea to have no section breaks, no chapters just makes the book that much more compelling.
and i love that he ties it together with gerald's game.

Especially love the older horror paperbacks with embossed covers. Like icing on a cake 🎃
::Jay voice:: “Affleck you da bomb in Phantoms, yo!”
One of my fav movie quotes 😂
@@mandysmorgueofhorror Saaame! I'm just amazed someone else knows that reference lmao! I CRACKED up when I heard you say it in the video.
Black house is the sequel to the talisman and Dolores is Claiborne is accused for killing Dora Donovan her employer and her husband
That’s the same copy of Christine I have! Haven’t read it yet though 😅 Honestly Rose Madder looks gorgeous even without the jacket.
Right?!
unfortunately, the dust jacket art for rose madder is kinda weak.
the novel's really good though.

Koontz is soooo much better then King! The Face of fear is a great book with a fantastic ending
yes but a bad day ready king is still better than a great day reading koontz.
at least king never wrote breathless or your heart belongs to me.

Oooh can you do a bedroom or shelf tour of all your spooky decor! 🎃
Maybe I can do one around Halloween!
Also just found a copy of Jurassic park at goodwill! Cant wait to read it! Great haul.
I’m excited to read it…one day. Thanks!

Lol I tried reading it years ago but didn’t get far. I actually love the movie!

This videos of King books on TH-cam. Are all over the place. Way too many.🤬🤬🤬
Rose madder is underrated. Great book
