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 and the bibliography of Stephen King in the chronological order of publication.

And I am back this week to review.

Not just a Stephen King story, but a Stephen King plus family story, his collaboration with his son, Owen King.

The novel that came out in October, Sleeping Beauty's.

So I'm here finally to record Sleeping Beauties, everyone.

Thank you for being so patient.

And everyone that is tuning in for the first time.

Welcome to the Stephen Kingcast.

A couple things I want to just acknowledge up front.

First and foremost is I don't have my microphone with me.

My friend who also has a podcast currently is borrowing it.

I did find some time right now to record this podcast.

I had told him that he could borrow my microphone.

So if the sound quality is not what it usually is,

or if you are a first-time listener and it's just not great,

please understand that it usually sounds just a little bit better.

But here is the deal for those of you who are listening for the first time now, and for long-time listeners might have picked up on this on the last couple episodes,

and I have mentioned this on Twitter recently. So in the last episode in which I reviewed the the Netflix adaptation of 1922,

I mentioned that I was moving and I was in the process of trying to sell my house and buy

another house and my wife and I, we were ready for that next step in our lives and so

the the reason why you have not heard from me in a while is because um life because life guys
