 Hello everybody, E here welcome back to Thursday theorist today. We are talking about Wendy's button box by Stephen King and Richard Chismar the The story of this one really found really crept in and snuck into my heart And I'm finding the more I think about this one the more I enjoy this one. I liked it from the get-go I know there are some people who haven't max booth third. I'm looking at you who just completely wrote this one off. Um, I Think that's really sad because they miss it's like if Stephen King doesn't write Strictly horror anymore. Some people just completely write him off and I don't understand that Now there there are very very loose horror elements in here regarding the box spoilers By the way, especially at the end with how the book ends with the death the guy just growing old very very rapidly but the The story it has so much heart and I really appreciated that now how much How much of this book was actually written by Stephen King? I we could sit here and go back and forth. I myself have never read Richard Chismar's work and I Feel I know everything in here. There's a there's a Clear line what King wrote and what Chismar wrote and that The way Chismar tells it is King wrote about half the story and then couldn't figure out an ending So he sent it to him and they went back and forth But you can tell that Chismar had a lot to do with this one kind of like you can tell Omen had a lot to do with Sleeping Beauty's This one it but that's not to the detriment of the book Whereas when Sleeping Beauty's I feel that Owen was out of his element And that's why that book didn't work as well as us fans would have liked But in this one it works Now if Chismar wrote the majority of it, I don't really care The thing is I enjoyed it and even if it was just Chismar playing in King's world and Just taking one of King's ideas and just running with it. I think he did a damn good job of it It's a very the writing is very sparse in comparison to King's work The chapters are super short in comparison to King's books because King usually does you know 30 page chapters But he'll break them up into you know like parts one subsection one two three that kind of thing But this is Thursday theorist and it wouldn't be Thursday theorist without the theories so right off the bat RF in this one. I think what is named Richard? I don't I don't know what what they call them whatever he Whatever he introduces himself as but it's Randall flag. We all know that and of course it happens in Castle Rock Now there's gonna be a lot of tie-ins coming up with with Castle Rock And I'm gonna bring a lot of that back to this one in Castle Rock Happen I mean Castle Rock is in the Dark Tower universe We know that because Randall flag jumps in so you have the connections for Cujo and the dead zone and those things but you also have like I talked about last time You also have the connections with stories like The Bachman book rage that mentions old Harlow Road and stand by me or sorry the body The novella the body happens in Castle Rock also and where do they go to find the body out by old Harlow Road? So you have all these stories and once you have the root that roots at Castle Rock in The Stephen King universe in the Dark Tower universe This is pretty much the book that roots it there So you have neat books like needful things short stories like it grows on you though those kind of things We'll all come back to this one. So this one was important. I felt I needed to get this one out I was going to do everything's eventual two weeks ago, but we're gonna get to that one Like I said in Rage's Thursday theories We're gonna get to that one because there's a lot of stuff that I missed So are there any other connections that I missed in this one? I'm sure you guys will let me know down there in the comments below until next time. I have any you've been you It's been a Thursday theories review. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye. Bye
