Holly

Once again, we're back on the Beam to close out the King catalogue. In our latest book episode, which has been exclusive to the Barrens since 2023, the Losers hang out with Holly. Together, they discuss why Stephen King loves this character so much, the political overtones that ostensibly fuel the narrative, the macabre villains at the center of the story, and whether or not this feels like Holly's story. One of our most divisive outings to date. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Fairy Tale

Once again, we're back on the Beam to close out the King catalogue. In our latest book episode, which has been exclusive to the Barrens since 2022, the Losers sort through Stephen King's 2022 novel Fairy Tale. Together, they discuss the fantasy genre at large, why it's so en vogue right now, how this story factors into King's Dominion, the missed opportunities, and, of course, dogs.

Gwendy's Final Task

And we're back on the Beam! In our latest book episode, which was previously only exclusive to the Barrens, the Losers sort through Stephen King and Richard Chizmar's 2022 novel Gwendy's Final Task.
