Can't believe I've managed to trick a Starbucks employee into spelling my name correctly by lying about my name

Me when a new piece of tech I impulsively buy arrives comes through the door (I wish I had a bit of patience, but I MUST try it out as soon as the shiny hits the front door)

It's incredibly accessible while having pretty deep lore.

The characters are diverse and aren't stereotypical cliches straight from fantasy.

Women aren't written like their chest size is their entire personality.

The plot is a bit like Oceans 11 with added metals and magic.

I just love it.

Sorry, just saw the shawshank redemption! I absolutely loved that film! Had no idea King was behind it!

The last film I saw which was a Stephen King adaptation was the long walk! and I was quite meh on that one personally. but definitely giving King a read in the future!

oh yes, I've seen green mile, that was brilliant!

I've heard nothing but good things about Choke! I have yet to read it and Fight Club, but both of those books are on my list!

I don't know - I've never read any of his books! I've seen a few of his films and they seem kind of silly? But I'd be up for reading Stephen King.

Also, why is Mars - a planet and not a living creature - full of blood. Why is it bleeding? What was the point of the blood?

It's like all these horror tropes just bungled in to make something scary without any real considered thought *why* these things are scary.
