If I Could Be Any Stephen King Character...
/If you haven't guessed it, when it comes to Stephen King, I’m kind of an unrepentant fan. I don’t kid myself that King is perfect. I do not love all his works equally, but he’s still the author who drags me into his clown infested sewer time and again. Why? He just gets me there every time. No matter the premise, he makes the fantastical seem plausible, not just through great exposition and world building but through the characters themselves. He gets in their heads and helps you understand them and what they’re experiencing. In his universe, there are monsters aplenty, but what of the heroes? Gathered for you here are not just the malevolent villians, but the brave and bold champions.
From The Mind Of The Master…
The Losers Club (Bill, Ben, Bev, Eddie, Mike & Stan) > It
A gang of ridicously brave misfits that battled with creepy devourer of children-Pennywise. Not once, but twice.
Stu Redman > The Stand
An empathic everyman who becomes a leader in the world of survivors post the superflu. My first book crush.

A brave and resilent boy trying to hold the ghosts at the Overlook at bay as he comes into his psychic powers.

A nobile man who finds himself grapping with a choice to alter history and unexpected true love.
