Summary

This week, we're taking a quick break from King's novels to discuss the Tower adjacent short story Ur! We talk about why this story disappointed us, despite its amazing concept, just what the hell is going on with the Low Men, and the differences between the versions

Next week, The Talisman begins! We will be reading and discussing the entirety of Part 1 of the novel, including chapters 1-5 and the first interlude!
