When you hear the swinging beat, the swinging song's bad, you know it's time to get in line and do the scale that's scat.

Emma, can you play the drums?

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

Each week I will review one entry in the

bibliography of Stephen King in the chronological order of publication, and I am back,

ladies and gentlemen, to review the stories found within skeleton crew that I did not review

the first time around.

So there has been a lot of clamoring out there.

There's been emails and Facebook posts and Twitter questions about when I am coming back.

Guys, I'm back.

I'm back.

For my next go-around, I have been, you know, on a good stretch lately, I have been

podcasting one episode every month or so, sometimes a little bit longer, and that's not fair to all,

you guys. I was trying to get through Mr. Mercedes. I still hope to get to Mr. Mercedes before I did some recording,

but because I was having difficulty, I said, you know what,

screw it, let me just go back to my original plan,

which was to review Skeleton Crew,

the stories that I never got around to in my first review of that particular

collection of short stories, because I figured that you'd probably like to hear what I have

to say, and then from here, I will continue my reexamination of the stories I didn't get around

to the first time.

Guys, I am so sorry for my return back that you're hearing what you're hearing in the background.
