I read this years ago, brilliant book. I reckon Steven King is possibly the best storyteller of all time. If he wasn't classed by many as a horror writer, I think he'd be widely recognised as such.

I did think it would make a cracking film when I read it years ago.

Hopefully the new Running Man follows the book. It was ahead of its time. Predicting reality TV way before it happened.

I remember reading my first Bachman book and realising, without a shadow of a doubt that I was reading Steven King.

Correct. Had this argument on Facebook, annoys me. Technically correct of course it is King but still.......

And yet you can't actually spell his name?

I should have got that right, many of his books are facing me on my book shelves. Still a prick for feeling you have to point it out though.

If I was getting someone's name wrong I'd appreciate somebody else pointing that out to me.

But nevermind, eh?

Pointing out with that degree of snark is lumpen und unfunny. But if it's good for your ego, well done you.

I remember being very struck by it as a story.

Considering how modest its scale is it's kind of odd that no one's had a bash before.

Well done, Stippen Konig.
