Full Dark, No Stars: Fair Extension / A Good Marriage

The Losers untie another big ol' Bag of Bones and answer your questions. Questions like "If you were to teach a college level course on Stephen King what required reading would you put on the syllabus?”; “Which musician is the most like King? Be it output or career similarities"; “What King books do you think Tabby had the most influence / oversight on?”; and more. They also discuss favorite graphic novels, the best sketches of this season's I Think You Should Leave, and horror movie trailers that oversold the movie.

Joining The Losers’ Club this week is Chris Adams, author of Out for Blood: A Cultural History of Carrie the Musical, which is out July 27th via Bloomsbury Publishing. Per its synopsis, Out for Blood patches together “memories, archive material and contemporary reports to dive into the origins and development of this infamous show and examines how a promising entertainment product can swiftly gain a notorious reputation, what makes or breaks a Broadway show, and how even the most unlikely of musicals can find its place in the hearts of fans around the world.” Adams chats with the Losers about the musical’s development, the urban legends clouding its history, and what separates its original and modern versions. He also discusses what spurred his love for the musical and the 10-part podcast (also called Out for Blood) that paved the way for the book itself.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | PatreonHosted on Acast.

The Losers grab their swim trunks and take a plunge into Stephen King's 2008 seaside supernatural thriller Duma Key. Join Losers Dan Caffrey, Jenn Adams, Dan Pfleegor, and Rachel Reeves as they count their steps in the sand and share a pitcher of iced green tea.
