What happened to S.T. Joshi or whatever-- I would have thought he/she would have been the editor since they did all the work on the previous volumes. Straub needs to go back and finish Koko properly or something...
Never read Koko; only If You Could See Me Now, which, when I tried to re-read it last year sucked abysmally (I used to really like it) and Shadowland and The Talisman.
Yeah, I read Shadowland because you mentioned it--and it wasn't half bad but it just kind of loses it's way. Koko had some Vietnamese girls opening bottles with their lips but other than the freaky cover and something about elephant playing cards I can't remember much so it must have not been so hot either. Even Ghost Story didn't hold up so well on a second reading. On the other hand I reread King's original Stand (not that uncut BS) and it still rocked supremely. I need to track down the TV version--never saw it and would like to see Kareem.
Weird, I forgot about Ghost Story; of course I've read that.
I think I have The Stand miniseries on VHS somewhere, but maybe threw it away. Mmmmm, Molly Ringwald...and that weird chesty chick from "Just Shoot Me" in a white wig and that Dawber guy from "Coach."
I hated the redone Stand so much--and I tried to re-read The Shining last year and couldn't get through it.
