I was a CNA for a little bit, so I might have more knowledge, but I just want aspiring authors to write older folks correctly. We are so used to seeing 12-40 year old characters, change it up a bit!

Monster Girl October (tarot deck) day 5: Carrie from Stephen King's Carrie as the Queen of Cups card!

Inktober 2024 Day 20: Carrie White

A Personal Depiction of One of the Greatest Modern Horror Novels ever written (& personally one of my Favorite Stories of Modern Literature).

Stephen King's First Novel tells the Story of Carrie, a High School Girl who has been a Victim of Bullying & even Child Abuse by One Parent, but she had the Secret Power of Telekinesis (suggesting that she inherited her Powers from her Disappearing Father).

When being asked to prom by Famous Football Player, Tommy Ross (the Boyfriend of One of Carrie's Former Bullies) to Prom, she agreed to go out with him to the School Prom. However, the Dream come true didn't last that long for Poor Carrie (thanks to her Snobby Bully, Chris Hargensen) being covered in Pig's Blood as Everyone laughed at her, causing Carrie to use her Powers as she massacred everyone at her School. Even then at her Sad Ending, did she joined her Mother as she Buried their own House beneath them.

day 11 a horror scene I’m currently reading Salems Lot by Stephen King. So this is my pick for today’s fanart- I loved this scene of Danny Glick trying to enter Marks room, it genuinely creeped me out. (Reffed the 70s movie)

34/50

4/5

As always I love Stephen King’s writings. I loved this story and while it didn’t help this weird funk I’m in; it was a good immersive, atmospheric read.

The plot was good; if not fantasy-esque. I really enjoyed the plot and the characters. This one started out slow but it picked up around the first third mark.

This is a nice coming of age story of a young boy who ends up working for his grumpy, loner, elderly neighbour. Our MC ends up saving his neighbour’s life; and as a result he ends up volunteering to watch the neighbour’s elderly dog, Radar. Radar was a good girl and I loved the MASH reference. Some parts were slow and a bit lacklustre; but overall this book is a wild ride and a really good book that’s very solid.

Definitely recommend this book whether you’re an old Stephen King fan or a new one or haven’t read from him yet.

Ok change of plans! My hold was ready for pickup so I grabbed this from the library today.

I’m not going to lie Fairy Tale by Stephen King had a slow start anyway. I have been reading fantasy for so many years so I just wasn’t vibing with a book about regular people. I will finish it next.

I am putting Fairy Tale down for now and starting on my E Eragon by Christopher Paolini.
