I fucking hate stephen king. i just read salem's lot because i heard it was vampires and seriously he copys twilight so fucking much - so how the fuck can he rip on stephanie meyer who clearly is more original than him even if she isn't as good at writing nicely
There is a strange book you just got to read call Benjamin's Gate by Warren Reed
I lived through the Apocalypse, I seen the Antichrist, and beheld his miracles, I seen the world take his mark and thousand killed because they refuse to take it, I was there when he came out of the pit and killed the two Prophets, for they had even tried to kill us, (me and my friends) but we were able to survive. My is Benjamin and this is my story. order the book Benjamin's Gate at amazon.com
Been reading King for 20 years and in the middle of Duma. Love how he can put me in Florida on a February stormy day. I can almost hear the shells grinding out thier sirens call.
I have a theory. I think this book is based off where his house in florida is. First off he said the road was overgrown with palm trees. I have lived in the same area for years and it is called Casey Key which sounds oddly familiar to duma key. Also he mentions a few businesses that are in Casey Key like Ophelias italian restaraunt and Dans fans city. I find this pretty cool since i live in this town. if you want to see his house it is on the tip of casey key. just search casey key, florida
I'm a new fan of Stephen King I've read Carrie, The Shining, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, Misery and Geralds Game and I gotta say that he's an amazing writer and I hope his work live on for generations to come. I want to have at least a tenth of his talent
@devilshomie Congrats on discovering King's works. If you really want some interesting stuff to read that he's done, I'd highly recommend the Dark Tower series and another of my favorites was Desperation which was a great book. Different Seasons is another one that had some of his classic works that translated into epic films as well.
@devilshomie I almost forgot, if you check out Desperation, there's a sort of sister book that goes with that called The Regulators. What he did was write that book as Richard Bachman but he used the same character names and put them in different roles with the main antagonist still involved in it. I have to admit it was a little bizarre, but was an interesting look into an author who took his characters and planted them in an alternate universe.
@devilshomie Yes, King started out writing under the pen name Richard Bachman. You could say it's his alter ego though, as I don't think he's ever officially stated that he was the same person, even though he is photographed in the Bachman books, he writes about Bachman as if he were a fictional character, and in a way, I guess he is :)
@devilshomie Yes everyone knew lol. He didn't go to any lengths to hide it, he just never admitted it. In that book, 'The Regulators' that I mentioned, there is a note about Richard Bachman in the back of it saying he died, so I guess King finally decided to put the pen name to rest. However that doesn't mean that old Bachman works in his attic might not be found and published, lol.
I own so many of his books it's ridiculous. His stories entertained me & gave me wonderful, terrifying, thoughtful distraction throughout very difficult years. Thank you Mr. King :))) I am your number one fan (very purposeful insertion of humor here folks).

Great book. Highly recommended. Probably my favorite cast of King characters. This is a story that will move you, make you smile, and scare the crap out of you, as well.
ive read "Pet Sematary", "Carrie" and "Salem's Lot", all extrordinary books in my opinion. i look foward to reading Stephen's new book, "Duma Key." Stephen King: you kick ass
God I'm 12 I finished this book yesterday. The scariest part was when that goddamn heron was flying upsuide down. Scared the shit out of me in its weirdness,
I usually enjoy his works, but I had a hard time focusing on that one. I think it's because of the beginning, and I like the traveling tales better, so I ranked it low, but good writing, just not my favorite of his. He's good at imagination; I can't do that in my baby writing. I get jealous. It goes 1=1. Not 1=1:1,2.
SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dnt read this if u want 2 read the book eventually!!!!!!!!!
i just finished reading the book but ill admit that it went downhill after ilse was murdered. not bc she wz murdered, i knew she wud b, but the fact that i wz looking 4 much bigger explanations, deeper explanations 2 evrything than the 1z that were given. overall, its a good summer read i think, but the ending is disappointing.
@zakfried Oh YES; I would LOVE to see that, I had so many pictures in my mind while I was reading the book if only they have enough sense to stick to the story as it is written it could be fantastic, great images. I LOVED Wireman.
@VinnyFairplay IT's not scary but theres this one called "Kensukes Kingdom". It's about a boy gets stranded on an island with a chinese man and he can't communicate with him.
apart from the anti-climax this book was a masterpiece. I know it's mostly taste but people saying this is a BAD book 100% surely didn't get much of the layers and depth. The story/plot is only a frame for some very insightfull and deep forays into the human psyche - hope, fears, holding on and letting go, etc.
He is a genius. I have been reading his books since I was little, and no one can suck you into a book, make you believe the in the characters like he can. He made me want to write. Him and Robert Jordan made the characters come alive, to the point where your mind told you that they were no longer fiction.
I really loved the book. I have just started reading Stephen King more constantly and now I´ve read Under the dome, Blaze, Langoliers, Heart of Atlantis, some of his short stories and of course Duma Key. Duma Key was the most fascinating in my opinion. It wasn´t actually that much of a horror novel but it was a great story, well written and very, very beautiful characters. It felt like there was always a short border between paradise and nightmare if you know what I mean.
Stephen King is the shit, but this book, for the most part...is just, extremely okay. (Again, he could write about the most mundane things and it would be so stylish. That's his strength, I think, is his style.)
I actually think the book had quite a few good parts, especially the beginning chapters as well as the bits where his dispossessed hand starts painting those pictures.
What is people's problem with his imagination? Did it ever occur to you that the dead girls are a part of him? That means that they are going to make appearances like other things that make multiple appearances in King's stories.
-Randall Flagg is another character that pops up in a few stories.
Don't like it? Feel free to write your own story.
What kind of mind goes on vacation and sees dead girls where others see scenery? Very disturbing. But some people pride themselves on the very point of the shame.
@Daamon77 A great writer doesn't need to be ashamed of their imagination. In fact no one needs to be ashamed of their imagination. You should be ashamed of suggesting you know what people should think about.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Actually people VERY much do need to be ashamed of their imagination. Shame has been lost. That is the shame. I'm just saying it's abnormal to go around picturing dead people andall sorts of gory things as a passtime. It's morbid and unhealthy. Whatsoever is pure, lovely, of good report, etc, think on these things. That's what Jesus said. But we all know what King thinks of God. It's a waste of a talented mind to fill it with gore and the opposite of goodness. Shame on you mister King. Waste.
Pfft. The Bible's boring; atleast Mr King makes an interesting read thar's relevant to modern society. What you're saying is that people should ignore their imaginations and individuality and follow a 2,000 year old doctrine. Riduculous!
I'm a writer of short stories but I think it would be the utmost dream to work with Stephen or to see him turn one of my horror stories into a movie,he is admired that much!
Wow, I'm quite surprised that I've never read this yet. I'm a huge fan of Stephen King -- always have been, always will! Guess it would be a wise decision on my part to stop by my local library to check it out sometime.
I'm actually so drawn in by the description that I cannot forbear myself from hitting the shelves!
If this waz made into a Movie I would definatley cast Antonio Banderas as Wireman. The setting in my mind was the same as the story "The Gingerbread Girl" Same beach, same Atmosphere, was that Wiremans' friend on the beach @ the end of the Story. Oh BTW Edgar Freemantles' daughter reminded me of the perky Kari Byron (MythBusters) Oh wut an Imagination !! xxx
I just started reading this book about 3 days ago. I'm about 200 pages in and absolutely enjoying it. May end up becoming my second favorite Stephen King novel. (behind Bag of Bones).
I agree! I read this book a while back, and it is my second favorite King novel after Bag of Bones. In fact, Duma Key reminded me of Bag of Bones here and there.
Yeah, I'm about halfway through and I'm already noticing a lot of similarities. It's a very good book (albeit a bit confusing at times). I'm trying to finish it before UNDER THE DOME's release.
LIttle over half through with Duma Key, for some reason with the "Wireman" character I keep imagining the actor Bryan Brown, Tom Cruise's buddy in Cocktail. Decent book, imma Dark Tower head though.
i liked this book too, took me a while to get into it but worth it in the end, cant wait for Under the Dome though i hope its as good as i know King is capable of making!
this was a good book. i think all of the book i have read by him are good.
he has a really weird mind though and it is a little disturbing, for instance who looks at a road at dusk and just imagine two little dead girls standing there holding hands.
i think everyone has random images of scary shit even if its first commenced by viewing a scary movie. either way everyone imagines scary shit. he called them his girls i guess for a writing purpose but it culd also be a defense mechanism from being scared by it. also think of the writing gap wede have if stephen king never began writing
im reading that now its good, but what the hell is with him and two little dead girls bettween this the green mile and the shining. Its starting to get a bit morbid. we might have a serial killer on our hands here.
The Shining was my favourite, and I liked the Kubrick version which provoked controversy with purists. Stephen King is the best writer of the last fifty years easily.
lol. I felt the same way about Wizard and Glass and The Stand. I thought they were his best books until I read Duma Key. Also, if you haven't read The Talisman & Black House, do it. They're incredibly imaginative.
Ah, sorry. You never know, weirder things have been said on youtube comments :p Didn't mean to misconstrue what you said (is that even a word? If not, dibs).
He has had some pretty freaky ideas though, they certainly scare me, lol
Are you serious? Its hard to tell jokes and sarcasm over the internet. Anyway, why would he? His books are horrific, but in the most...religious one (The Stand) the good guys win. He's not going to go to hell. Roland Deschain would just turn up and break him out, anyway :p
I fucking hate stephen king. i just read salem's lot because i heard it was vampires and seriously he copys twilight so fucking much - so how the fuck can he rip on stephanie meyer who clearly is more original than him even if she isn't as good at writing nicely

Actually people VERY much do need to be ashamed of their imagination. Shame has been lost. That is the shame. I'm just saying it's abnormal to go around picturing dead people andall sorts of gory things as a passtime. It's morbid and unhealthy. Whatsoever is pure, lovely, of good report, etc, think on these things. That's what Jesus said. But we all know what King thinks of God. It's a waste of a talented mind to fill it with gore and the opposite of goodness. Shame on you mister King. Waste.

@Daamon77 peoples imagination is the only free and untainted source we have left. there is no shame in creating things with it.

Pfft. The Bible's boring; atleast Mr King makes an interesting read thar's relevant to modern society. What you're saying is that people should ignore their imaginations and individuality and follow a 2,000 year old doctrine. Riduculous!

Wow, I'm quite surprised that I've never read this yet. I'm a huge fan of Stephen King -- always have been, always will! Guess it would be a wise decision on my part to stop by my local library to check it out sometime.
I'm actually so drawn in by the description that I cannot forbear myself from hitting the shelves!

If this waz made into a Movie I would definatley cast Antonio Banderas as Wireman. The setting in my mind was the same as the story "The Gingerbread Girl" Same beach, same Atmosphere, was that Wiremans' friend on the beach @ the end of the Story. Oh BTW Edgar Freemantles' daughter reminded me of the perky Kari Byron (MythBusters) Oh wut an Imagination !! xxx

I just started reading this book about 3 days ago. I'm about 200 pages in and absolutely enjoying it. May end up becoming my second favorite Stephen King novel. (behind Bag of Bones).
RullyisJRM 2 years ago
I agree! I read this book a while back, and it is my second favorite King novel after Bag of Bones. In fact, Duma Key reminded me of Bag of Bones here and there.

Yeah, I'm about halfway through and I'm already noticing a lot of similarities. It's a very good book (albeit a bit confusing at times). I'm trying to finish it before UNDER THE DOME's release.

LIttle over half through with Duma Key, for some reason with the "Wireman" character I keep imagining the actor Bryan Brown, Tom Cruise's buddy in Cocktail. Decent book, imma Dark Tower head though.

this was a good book. i think all of the book i have read by him are good.
he has a really weird mind though and it is a little disturbing, for instance who looks at a road at dusk and just imagine two little dead girls standing there holding hands.
and then says they are his girls
daspoon456 2 years ago
i think everyone has random images of scary shit even if its first commenced by viewing a scary movie. either way everyone imagines scary shit. he called them his girls i guess for a writing purpose but it culd also be a defense mechanism from being scared by it. also think of the writing gap wede have if stephen king never began writing

The Shining was my favourite, and I liked the Kubrick version which provoked controversy with purists. Stephen King is the best writer of the last fifty years easily.

Are you serious? Its hard to tell jokes and sarcasm over the internet. Anyway, why would he? His books are horrific, but in the most...religious one (The Stand) the good guys win. He's not going to go to hell. Roland Deschain would just turn up and break him out, anyway :p
