Hello everyone and welcome to the Stephen King's musings on the works of Stephen King.

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

And this week I won't be reviewing one of Stephen

teleplay, but please note that I will not be reviewing the publication. Instead, I'm going to

this time Joe Hackett, having followed in his brother Brian's footsteps after the adaptation of The Shining.

Joe Hackett, of course, is the co-owner of Sam Piper Air, along with his brother Brian Hackett,

the brothers from the television show Wings.

The character is portrayed by Stephen Weber, who played Jack Torrance in the previous television
