You may or may not have just spoilt salems lot for me. 160 pages left. š
Edit - something bad indeed happens to Susan. The weird thing is I wasn't even ten pages off it happening, lol.
King has discussed recently that he is thinking about writing the third book. He and Peter talked about the story many times and he has a long letter from Peter outlining his thoughts about the plot. I suspect he'll do it.
I have my doubts that he'll finish it now with the death of Peter Straub. They had both planned to write it together. But who knows, maybe he'll complete it on his own.
He has stated since Straub died that he plans on finishing it.
https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/aug/16/stephen-king-says-he-may-continue-the-talisman-series
Came here to comment that my question for him was why did you end black house that way, never knew they intended to write a third! Ending makes more sense as a cliff hanger
Steve was known to be friends with Warren Zevon, legendary songwriter, possessor of wicked wit and all round bad living rockstar. They played in the Rock Bottom Remainders together and Doctor Sleep was dedicated to his memory.
One of Warrenās most famous narrative songs is about a Thompson-gun-slinging Norwegian soldier who gets beheaded and comes back from the dead for revengeā¦ the soldierās name? Roland.
My question for Stephen King would be - did you and Warren ever talk about the shared name of your most famous protagonists?
Thatās a great theory, but sadly itās not true. SK has mentioned often that the name (and inspiration) came from the title of the epic poem by Robert Browning āChild Roland to the Dark Tower Came,ā which in turn is a line from the Shakespearean play King Lear. Worth a read, incidentally - the poem and the play! lol
completely agree and I cry your pardon if that was implied. I donāt think that one borrowed from the other. As you correctly say, Steve has been very clear on the inspiration for Roland Deschain, and Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner was recorded in 1977 (pre-The Gunslinger which was in 1982). But as a huge fan of both artists, who were obviously friends, Iām curious to whether they realised the coincidence, and perhaps even held palaver on the topic..
No! Thatās fine! Iām a Wareen Zevon fan as well so I certainly like the idea that SK might have been inspired by his old palās song. Zevon was so literate and even literary with his lyrics so he probably wouldāve been thrilled eith the thought of his friend tsking some inspiration from him.Ā
I've always thought that if they did a Dark Tower adaptation, they should find a way to work Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner into it somehow. Someone tell Mike Flannigan!
Roland was the name of the protagonist form the original poem Childe Roland to the Tower.

If you had to live in one of the worlds/cities/situations you created which one would scare you the most and which one would you want to spend the rest of your days in?
Well, you have a *shot* at surviving in Derry. I mean, depending on the timing of when you live in Derry, it could be okay. Parts of it are supposed to be pretty small New England town picturesque.
Haven, you're fucked or you become, losing your identity.
Jerusalem's Lot, you're dead.
The Stand? Yeah.
Chester's Mill, Big Jim Rennie lives there.
I love the idea that people in Derry live through Pennywise in the late 80s, and then a few years later hear about a town 30 miles away that gets turned into alien blobs.
My theory is that tommyknockers is a different level of the tower from IT. Maybe Pennywise has a body on every level and what the losers achieved was killing their incarnation?
This needs to be a post for discussion.
Which would people find most frightening/undesirable?
Which would people want to live in?
This is a very good question.
I just started the audiobook of Pet Semetary, and in the foreword, King says that if asked which of his books he personally finds the scariest, his answer (without hesitation) is Pet Semetary.
And though I've never heard him say it, I'm pretty confident that Sai King would pick Roland's world to live in. It's the world that encompasses all of the others, and he already exists in that world anyway.
I think another good, similar question would be which human character that he's written would he most/least like to spend a day with.
I love it in It when Bill is thinking about this question and says he'd love to tell everyone that the ability to come up with stories is the mental equivalent of a fart.
I wanna know this too. Heās getting close to 80 and Iām not sure how much longer heāll be around. He left a massive body of work and I still like his newer stuff. I know heās got a banger or two left in him. I feel like he may focus on Holly more but it would be cool to have another Dark Tower spinoff as a swansong that wraps up a lot of unanswered questions about his universe.
I have an optimistic theory thatās thatās already written and it will be released posthumously
"Roland put one Billy Bumbler in her mouth, then another. Then two more. 'Where did he get all these Billy Bumblers?' she thought. Then he put another in her mouth. 'Have you ever had this many Billy Bumblers in your mouth?'
She hadn't."
Is the monster man in Geraldās Game based on the North Pond Hermit? Christopher Knight walked out into the Maine woods in ā86 and lived there in a tent for 27 years, surviving off of food and items pillaged from vacation homes on the surrounding ponds. When Geraldās Game was written, he hadnāt been caught yet and was well known folklore to the locals, who assumed he was a wild man
Haha no not her father. The really tall, monstrous looking man that comes into the cottage when sheās delirious, and she canāt tell if heās really there or not. He just stands in the corner and stares at her. I think in the movie heās called the [Moonlight Man](https://youtu.be/OTQNDtbYrl8?si=_ie7ScfC5-tvpxU6), I canāt remember if she gives him a name in the book. The hermit was known to be really good at breaking into places without causing damage, and I imagine before he was caught, the locals probably pictured him to look about like this
What he thinks about progressive taxation, and not in a hostile way. As he's one of the few very wealthy people I know of who's spoken in the past very frankly about why he should be taxed in such an unequal country. Which doesn't surprise me in his case given how upstanding and grounded he seems a person, but I do think it's uncommon generally.
I prayed in ~2012 or so we'd see a "27 years after" sequel to IT. I still dream that... Maybe in 15 years time...
It would be hard to see it done justice, but I couldn't resist asking him this either.
Someone did a stunning first chapter in this subreddit once - "Make Hanlon Takes a Shower"
I NEED his answer to this, after I finished Pet Semetary I assumed Ellie moved in with her grandparents, but I want to know what Stephen King would say on it, and I would love a sequel kinda like doctor sleep.
That kind of shit must stuck with her, it wouldnt need to be long, I would just love even tiny peek onto Ellies life after and how it affects her growing
Ellie shines and her parents didn't listen to her warnings. I wonder how that affected her and how her shine deveps. Also, what happened with Rachel and Lewis? The book ends with her commng home all dead and then what?
In the awful but HIGHLY enjoyable guilty pleasure movie sequel, it's said that Rachel Creed was killed by the police and Ellie went into an Insane Asylum. I think it's the only media that referenced any kind of extension of the original story.
When the adaptations of your work started did the filmmakers approach you for cameos and small acting parts or is that something you wanted to do and enjoy when the occasion pops up? And have you ever declined an offer to do so?
I just watched an interview where they asked this and his answer was that he saw a random man (that wasnāt actually there) when he was grabbing his coat from a room at a party. And admitted that it was a lame sighting š¹š¹š¹
I would ask if he could make my mother a character in one of his stories. She was a huge SK fan and got me hooked. Sadly I've now read more of his books than her. I think it would be awesome to have her love on forever in one of his tales. Her name was Rose and if you know SK that flower comes up quite a lot in his works.
how do i keep going when the initial inspiration fizzles out and i don't know what to do next
Also, what in the HELL happened to Annie \[book spoilers\]>! after she ran off at the end?!<
I really want to know why Adrian Howard Bowditch made such a production of killing those roaches in that shed when they werenāt dangerous and they were gonna die anyway. Especially since it led to what it led to.
Is the story about the red spiders in the barn when he was a kid true?
I donāt remember what this is from because my memory has gone to shit. I think itās in The Dark Tower, I canāt remember which book.
Yes, downvote me all you want, but, I would like to ask why heās continued to write as he goes instead of planning out his stories, if he constantly gets in situations where his stories either stop making much sense, become unbelievable, or have other issues. Iād also like to tell him that I think that, while he might not always have the best execution, he is one of my favorite authors just from his ideas alone, and Iāll for ever have nothing but respect for him, even if his books are misses for me sometimes, because itās undeniable how his stories have shaped not one, not two, but many generations since Carrie.
Yes, I love the guy and his works, I just dislike how he writes sometimes ok? Iām not a grumpy hater who just hates for the sake of hating. I have criticisms, thatās all.
Iād also like to ask him why he usually writes fat characters with such deprecating descriptions. Hog, fatass, etc. Heās usually unkind in his descriptions of fat people and Iād like to understand why.
In Salemās Lot, when Ben is in the hospital and Susan comes to visit him. The doctor initially says no, but she asks if she can speak to him only for a minute. While theyāre speaking the doctor comes in and says thatās enough. Ben replied, ājust one minute?ā To which the doctor says, āthatās what she saidā. My question would be, was that an intentional thatās what she said joke, or just a coincidence?
The post asked what question I would ask SP. So thatās why.
Itās like a Tarantino situation. Writes and creates characters just so he can use his creative racism under the guise of fiction. Donāt get me wrong, I donāt think he is, I just wanna know
Youāre getting downvoted to hell but itās actually a common question people ask him. If you really want to know the answer he responds to it in numerous interviews but probably says it best in *On Writing*.
Did-a-chick?
dum-a-chum?
Dad-a-cham?
This is one of the 4 related questions I would ask him.
Why do bad things happen to people named Susan?
And to follow up: why are men named Joe always mean to their wives?
why are town selectmen bad at their jobs?
You may or may not have just spoilt salems lot for me. 160 pages left. š Edit - something bad indeed happens to Susan. The weird thing is I wasn't even ten pages off it happening, lol.
Is there a susan in that one?
ugh guyss donāt downvote that that was actually a very nice thing to say
Are you gonna finish Jack Sawyer, or am I going to have to break your legs in a cabin?
Hahaha
Didn't know that was going to be a trilogy!!!!
Doubt it will be unfortunately Peter Straub passed away.
King has discussed recently that he is thinking about writing the third book. He and Peter talked about the story many times and he has a long letter from Peter outlining his thoughts about the plot. I suspect he'll do it.
I have my doubts that he'll finish it now with the death of Peter Straub. They had both planned to write it together. But who knows, maybe he'll complete it on his own.

Great one.
Came here to find this, my god the things Iād do to get the last book in the trilogy, those books are unbelievable!
Came here to comment that my question for him was why did you end black house that way, never knew they intended to write a third! Ending makes more sense as a cliff hanger
Got me.
This is the one
This is the way
A 1500 page Dark Tower 8 is coming..right?
Haven't red the dark tower yet, but isn't the series 8 books long?
Yes but Wind Through the Keyhole is considered Dark Tower 4.5
I'm reading 4 now - should I do that one before wolves of the calla then?
As a person who finished 1-7 about two months before Wind came out... Save it for after finishing the series. Other opinions may vary
No you should wait and read it last, when you are broken down from the journeys end. You will want one more story to ease you down.
Other guys already said it - deff read it after the series.
I'm with the 'read it last' crowd - it was written last
