Hello everyone and welcome to the Stephen King cast. One Man's Musings on the Works of Stephen King.

0:04.2

Each week I will review one entry in the bibliography of Stephen King in the chronological order of publication.

0:09.6

And welcome back to another edition in which I get to explore, as I talked about last episode,

0:17.2

a collection that really meant a lot to to me talking about nightmares and dreamscapes

0:23.6

which happened to be the first new publication by Stephen King that I got to experience as a Stephen King fan

0:31.6

because up until that point I had been reading all of Stephen King's works that had been published previous to this.

0:39.2

So when it comes to nightmares and dreamstapes, guys, it will always hold a special place

0:43.3

in my heart. So it was great for me to revisit it back when I reviewed it and the first,

0:48.9

you know, chunk of short stories the first time around and it was just as fun revisiting it the second time around.

0:55.9

So what I'll be doing in this episode is pretty straightforward. I will be getting to all of

1:00.9

the short stories that I did not review on my first go with my analysis of this collection. But before I get there, I want to read some emails.

1:14.3

So if at any point you guys have any thoughts on any of the stories found within nightmares

1:19.0

and dreamscapes or anything related to Stephen King or just kind of want to talk about horror

1:24.8

or books or whatever, shoot me an email at Stephen Kingcast at yah Yahoo.com. So up first we have Jacob who writes, hello there. My name's Jacob, and I'm one-third of the Yes, Have Some podcast.

A few years back, a friend and I both read It at the same time, and holy cow, it changed my life. In the last year or so, I've gotten heavily back into reading and almost exclusively Stephen King. When I found your show, I went through and listened to only what I had seen or read, and it's been great to listen to someone dissect the works the way that you do,

2:01.2

and I'm still enjoying them as I go. Thanks so much for that. The podcast I'm started on is a very

2:08.2

Ghostbusters heavy podcast, and we've since moved on to pop culture and movies in general.

2:14.2

It's actually pretty funny. In your last show, which was a while ago, this is an older

2:18.8

email, you were talking about how annoyed you were getting with Sony for handling the Dark Tower

2:24.4

so far, and we know all about that. We were super heavy into production with the Ghostbusters

2:30.2

reboot, and Sony was having some of the same issues with that. It was super frustrating.

2:39.0

In the last few months, we've talked about King a lot and mentioned your podcast multiple times.

2:43.6
