The short story compilations have always been great reading! **elfkin477** (or anyone else) wanna do a book exchange? I’ll send you Dreamcatcher if you send me The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon… (if so, e-mail me!)… ---

Low Men in Yellow Coats is what they based the movie on. Anthony Hopkins as Brautigan. ---

I’m reading Black House now (got it from the library). A little disappointed so far (up to page 180). I was looking forward to more adventures in the Territories, but that’s not what’s happening. (And if I so much as see the words “Dark Tower” I’m closing the book and taking it back that minute.) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by bean\_shadow \* > \*\*I went and got the Stephen King Universe book and it’s awesome! I never realized that in **Cujo** , the Trentons moved into Frank Dodd’s old house. Where does it say that? Or is it assumed because Tad hears (or imagines) Dodd talking to him from his closet? Oooh…that would be scarry to sleep in the room that used to be Frank’s bedroom. \*\* Yeah, I guess it was assumed…Frank Dodd didn’t have as big an impact on me when I first read Cujo (I didn’t know about The Dead Zone then). It is pretty creepy, those scenes with Tad in bed and that ghostly…thing talking to him. Yeah, Frank Dodd was a real character, I’ll say that. ---

I guess I misapplied that title to the last section. I borrowed a copy from the library. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/newest-stephen-king-books-you-like/83193.md?page=2)
