Hello there! I’m a big Stephen King fan going by the name of Stabley, Stab for short. I’m on my journey of reading every single Stephen King books, novels first then short stories. I will be exploring and trying to figure out King’s universe as I progress through his books, and post my personal reviews and thoughts about each book here. I will post about the books I most recently finished and try to get back at the books I finished before when I have time.

Feel free to comment about anything, especially if you found clues and connections in books that I’ve missed. If you’re not a Stephen King fan, I hope my posts can get you to check out King’s work and find the same delight that I do reading them.

Here is my brief story of this journey from the beginning to this day.

As a child, I would reading Goosebumps books because I had an interest for spooky stuff. As I grew older, I started looking for books that have a stronger taste than Goosebumps, and that’s when I discovered King. I was browsing for supernatural books online and found some of King’s work. The one that stood out to me at the time was the Dark Half, so I got it from my local library finished it in two weeks. It was hard to understand King’s style and language at first but I managed. I was completely fascinated by how hardcore it is(at least to me at the time). King gave me such a good first impression with the Dark Half that I went to my local library again and just randomly borrowed two more of his books: Cujo and Cell, which gave me a few more glances at King’s imagination. It was fun reading them but they didn’t appeal to me as much as the Dark Half so my interest for King kind of died.

It wasn’t until two years later during summer that I touched King again. By then my interest for reading have been resurrected by the Remembrance of the Earth series by Cixin Liu, which in my opinion was the best science fiction ever. The wild imagination of that series reminded me of King, and I decided to read his books for the same kind of “high”. From there I went on a reading streak: Desperation, Lisey’s Story, Mr. Mercedes trilogy, the Dead Zone, Revival, Gunslinger, Insomnia, Under the Dome, and the Drawing of the Three. I just finished the Drawing of the Three last week and am now on my way to finishing Needful Things.
