Happy October everyone! It's the start of a new month and that means some of you may be looking for books to read, so here I am! In honor of Halloween this month, I have to recommend everyone read some Stephen King. And in my opinion, King's best works are his short stories. So that is where I am going to tell you to start.
Different Seasons: This book contains four stories: "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" (the basis for Frank Darabont's 1994 movie The Shawshank Redemption), "Apt Pupil" (Bryan Singer's 1998 film Apt Pupil), "The Body" (Rob Reiner's 1986 film Stand by Me), and "Breathing Lessons".
Four Past Midnight: "The Langoliers" (a 1995 TV mini-series of the same name), "Secret Window, Secret Garden" (2004 film Secret Window starring Johnny Depp), "The Library Policeman", and "The Sun Dog".
And perhaps my favorite King: The Green Mile. A serial novel originally printed in six parts: "The Two Dead Girls", "The Mouse on the Mile", "Coffey's Hands", "The Bad Death of Eduard Delacroix", "Night Journey"and "Coffey on the Mile". Althought now you can get all six volumes in one book. And yes it is the book that was the basis for Frank Darabont's 1999 film The Green Mile.
So that's it kids. For October, go get yourself some King and some scares. And have a Happy Halloween!!!
