The plan is to reread all of Stephen King’s works in the order that they were published. Richard Chizmar of Cemetery Dance had the vision. I’m doing it because I am a writer and I want to improve my fiction. And I love Stephen King’s stories. I think there is something to be learned through this process.

You can also go back to the beginning and read Before Carrie or any of my other posts up through this one and beyond by checking out this link to the Master List of all my #StephenKingRevisited posts.

As I was gathering books for #StephenKingRevisited reading, Storm of the Century struck me as odd and I wasn’t sure how I felt about reading it. It is simply the screenplay for the TV mini series of the same name. I didn’t see it when it aired or since.

Along the way, I reread a screenplay for what eventually became a Tales from the Darkside episode by King. I remembered enjoying that and the concise nature of the format with some added frills in King’s descriptions. I enjoyed it again on the reread of the collection it was in and it got me to rethinking Storm of the Century.

I think at the very least it will be an interesting change of pace, so I’m going in with an open mind.

My next post in this series will be After Storm of the Century which will be linked on the Master List of all my Stephen King Revisited posts.
