Monday, March 23, 2026 at 12:56AM So I finished Wizard and Glass weeks ago, but I didn't even write an in progress post on what met my expectations or seemed memorable. That would be because of my hand.
Friday, January 23, 2026 at 2:51AM The thing about The Wastelands is that it really does have a driving beat.
Friday, January 16, 2026 at 2:16AM So I wound up accidentally tearing out two of the last five pages of The Wastelands.
Stephen King, The Dark Tower in Screen and Page, The Dark Tower, ramblings Friday, January 9, 2026 at 12:31AM Ahh Susannah. From the moment she comes on the page, we know something transgressive is happening. Just consider for a moment that here in 2026 Stephen King is considered woke. Good gods. King was awake the moment he started writing. It used to be okay to praise a writer for being race conscious, and as far as I'm concerned it still is.
Thursday, January 8, 2026 at 11:18PM So one of my friends happens to be reading The Dark Tower as well currently. When we inevitably got to the topic of his writing in this series (and especially in this book) I wound up saying, "King is weird, because he absolutely is pulp, until he's not, and then he is again." and I stand by that statement. The Drawing of the Three is one of those absolutely inscrutable pulp objects that is somehow also an exquisite thing. Eddie's tale is quite possibly the pulpiest part of the entire saga.
