Here are my thoughts on Mike Flanagan’s adaptation of Carrie. There are some spoilers so be warned if you haven’t seen the series.
Most of the series is good and it definitely earns its place among the many adaptations of King’s book. In fact, I think that only the 1976 version is better. There are problems with it though and the biggest problem I have with the show is…
In an interview with USA Today King mention that he is closing another chapter (besides the Talisman/Dark Tower chapter. The upcoming Holly book will probably be her last.
And lest you think King’s slowing down as he nears 80, the author’s closing another chapter of his literary life: He just finished his next book, “Anything for Holly,” the last novel to feature fan-favorite detective Holly Gibney.
Holly is one of your favorite characters. Did you get a little emotional finishing her story, too?
She means a lot to me. She's my dear one. And she means a lot to readers who have followed her for a long time. I didn't cry beautiful tears or anything like that, but yeah, I got a little nostalgic I guess you would say. I always say to myself, well, maybe she'll come back in some form or another, but I really don't think so.
King recently did an interview with Talking Scared about Other Worlds Than These and in the end he gave away the title for the next Holly-book; Anything For Holly and that it’s a BIG one. He’s editing it right now.
He also mentioned that he is thinking about a witches for an upcoming story and that he would like to write another story taking place in 1968.
So, the guess is that Anything For Holly is the King book for 2027.
Here are my thoughts about Other Worlds Than These. There are some small spoilers in it so if you want to read the book totally unaware read the book first.
It’s finally here, the last Talisman book, the last Dark Tower book. It’s both exciting and a bit sad that this is the end of an era. So, the expectations are huge for this one. Does it live up to them? Well, both yes and no.
Here are my thoughts on Mike Flanagan’s adaptation of Carrie. There are some spoilers so be warned if you haven’t seen the series.
