It.
And as I haven't seen the movie, I'm just wondering if there was also presented a way how kids (or more likely Beverly) helped Eddie to recall how to get out of the sewers.

I just read "The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells and really enjoyed it.

Still reading Nightmares And Dreamscapes, but I just have to vent after reading The Chattery Teeth.
Killer Chattery Teeth? Really? Like...wow. Stephen King has a lot of mediocre work, but this was just...crap. He REALLY didn't try at all with that one and its worse than a lamp monster. I hope it was a joke.
That said...I'd totally go see it if it ever gets a movie deal.

Before anyone mentions it, I checked Wikipedia and they made a tv short film for Chattery Teeth.
I just don't know what to think any more.

Aah that's what that was. I saw that on TV quite a long time ago and had no idea what the hell I was watching. The other story on it features people's hands having their own will and wishing for freedom.

Yeah, Quicksilver Highway, the other story was Clive Barker's Clive Barker's Body Politic by Clive Barker, according to wiki Barker even makes a cameo. I never read it but thanks, now I know what I'm in for ^_^
It just doesn't sound as stupid as killer chattery teeth. Its like...a bad Are You Afraid Of The Dark episode.
I'm reading the story The Moving Finger, where a guy find a finger moving around in his sink.
You're killing me, Mr. King.

Well, King either strikes gold or he just fucks around helplessly. Sometimes he gets it so right you can hardly bear it; other times...well, I've read those unsalvageably lame stories you're reading. Just - just no.
I'm re-reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I like this particular edition because it shows both the original text and the changes she made years later, plus photos of her handwritten notes. It's more interesting to follow her train of thought, her self-criticism, and her evolving perspective than it really is to read the story once again. Also, this has PB Shelley's "A Fragment" (which looked as though it had had a promising start) and Polidori's "Vampyre" as extras.

A little fed up with Stephen King's bullshit, reading Crime And Punishment instead.

Just finished rereading the Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole, now trying to decide between The Executioner's Song by Norman Mailer or The Mad Ship by Robin Hobb

Oh, I love that book. Have you read it before? I don't want to go on about my favourite parts if it will spoil something for you.

Me? No, I haven't read it before and I'm not done yet. I'm right at the part where Solando tells Teddy [in code] that she thinks patient 67 is whatisname. But shhh!  I can't wait to see how it ends.
