Lisey's Story with Sadie Hartmann
Listen now
Description
Renowned author and horror enthusiast Sadie Hartmann (101 Horror Books to Read Before You're Murdered) joins Wampler and Vespe to dig into King's most personal novel, Lisey's Story, a first time appearance for both in the Kingcast main feed. Discussion ranges from speculation on just how much of King's relationship to his wife, Tabitha, makes its way into this fictional story, as well as a close examination of the beautiful, sad, and ultimately wonderful Apple TV+ adaptation from Pablo Larrain. How much of the psychotic fan Jim Dooley do we see in ourselves and how much do we think King might see in us? What is real in this book versus what can be explained away by psychosis? And just how accurate is King'd depiction of marriage here? Also, lots of talk about the gore, can openers, bad gunky, and a very, very long boy.
