Hello everyone and welcome to the Stephen King

One Man's Musings on the Works of Stephen King.

Each week I will review one entry in the bibliography of Stephen King

and the chronological order of publication

and in this episode I will review the first episode

of the second season of Castle Rock.

And as I record this, it's the day after Halloween,

but I do want to say, happy Halloween, happy belated Halloween, everyone.

I hope that you all had a good one.

As I record this, my furry co-host is lying on top of one of my daughter's costumes, a

unicorn.

So she is still in the Halloween season and the Halloween spirit,

which I think is very appropriate as I record my thoughts on Stephen King property.

So before I get any further with Castle Rock season two,

I do want to get into some listener emails.

And up first, I will be reading an email from Mark Denbison, who writes,

Hello, Constant Reader.

I'm a fan of your podcast and love listening to your in-depth analysis of all things,

of all things, King.

So thank you, Mark.

I live in Port Hope, Ontario, aka Dairy, where both It films were shot. My wife and I were fortunate to be cast as extras in both films, and as a huge fan of the book, I have to tell you, is one of the most amazing experiences of my life. In the most recent film, my wife was in the scene when Pennywise appears to Richie on the Paul Bunyan statue,

and I was in a scene when Bill is running through the carnival, searching for the boys.
