Downsizing: A Kinja Story

Apparently, It’s a B.

I had them destroyed! It brought shame to our house!

That can only mean Faith No More’s “Epic” plays over the end credits.

So I can give you my experience of a precocious King reader, I’d definitely check with a librarian or YA expert (we used to have quite a few around here) for more expert opinion, especially on appropriateness.

Eyes of the Dragon is a light touch entry, not horror but fantasy. Salem’s Lot for traditional horror that probably won’t keep them up at night. Pet Sematary for the kids that dress in black and draw pentagrams on things.

I don’t think there’s any secret to Fair Warning being a masterpiece - it’s widely acknowledged as (probably) their best album, including by the four guys who were in the band then. I’ll take arguments for the first album or 1984, but FW is the one I come back to the most.

Any recommendations of ideal entry level King books for some of these middle school kids? I assume maybe some of the short stories? Would the dark tower be too heavy for a first time King reader?

This makes me happy, that young kids who don’t know King are jazzed for this and may find their way to his books as a result. He’s a great author for teens (and middle-schoolers in particular, as Katie alludes to).

Sorry AVClub. You can’t make me not see It.

.....damn, Cher. I thought you were...wait for it....Pro BONO

Remember when people used to comment on AV Club articles?

The only problem with your theory is that Unchained is the greatest rock song of all time.

I appreciate both the DLR and SH eras of and have seen all 3 incarnations of VH in concert (even Sharon-yikes). My only regret is that I saw DLR with Van Halen last year and he was straight out of gas and horrible live.

All that song does for me is remind me of clear Pepsi

This remains one of the funniest things ever.

Heckuva job, Brannie.
