I fear for this place.

Everyone's got a theory how it started, about Castle Rock's original sin.

Was it the Puritans who settled here?

Or was it the mills where we grew rich by scraping God's earth until it bled?

Was that when he turned his back on this town?

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

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

and this week I am turning my attention not to one of Stephen King's written works,

but an adaptation of not necessarily a particular Stephen King work,

but a continuation, a celebration of many of Stephen King's works and the philosophy of Stephen King himself.

This week we are going to return to his most famous town in a series of episodes that

will celebrate and review and analyze

Hulu's latest show, Castle Rock.

So I was very excited about this.

As you know, if you are a Stephen King fan and you're listening to this, then you know the

excitement about what it means to be a Stephen King fan in 2018. In the summer of 2018, we have

it. You know, we are one year out just about from it. We have Mr. Mercedes to look forward to.

We had 1922 when Gerald came in some other movie that came out last summer.

I can't remember what, and maybe it's better that it stays that way.

But this summer, we have Castle Rock.

That was something that I was looking forward to.

And I am recording this the day after the first episode aired.
