Welcome to Episode 83 of The Stephen King Podcast!

Our first podcast for 2018!

And we kick off 2018 with a look back at 2017!!

Stephen King has been in the public consciousness for over 40 years now ever since Brian DePalma adapted King's first book - Carrie - as a movie. As with any artist, King's profile has risen and fallen over the years but last year, King hit the latest apex of his popularity. An amazing feat for someone who has been in the game so long!

Plus our recap of the latest Stephen King news.

We hope you enjoy this episode and, as usual, we want to hear from you.

Welcome to Episode 82 of The Stephen King Podcast!

Our final podcast for 2017.

Just a little bit of news but a lot of reviews and a big interview!

We review Joe Hill's - Strange Weather. Note: there will be spoilers for this segment.

Then Han squirms waiting to hear Lou's thoughts on Han's horror anthology - Shining In The Dark - celebrating 20 years of Lilja's Library as a website. The anthology contains the rarely seen Stephen King short story - The Blue Air Compressor.

Other stories come from Jack Ketchum, Richard Chizmar, Bev Vincent, Brian Freeman, Brian Keene, and more.

And the cherry on the top of our last podcast for 2017 is our interview with Brian Keene! Brian talks about his contribution to the anthology, his writing process, his podcast, and a variety of other subjects.

Welcome to the fifth special bonus episode of - The Stephen King Podcast - Constant and New Listeners!

A Holiday Charity Special with YA writers Adam Dreece & Suzy Vadori.

Local Calgary bestselling authors Adam Dreece and Suzy Vadori are launching the third annual Books for a Good Claus campaign this December. The pair are teaming up with their combined Young Adult, Science Fiction and Romance books to raise funds and awareness for Kids Help Phone's 24/7 counselling, information and referral services. As a charity, Kids Help Phone relies on the generosity of donors during the holidays to ensure that young people have a trusted place to turn to in any moment of crisis or need.

A generous $5 will be donated to Kids Help Phone for every book sold on their site, booksforagoodclaus.com, between December 3rd and 23rd.

Authors Suzy Vadori and Adam Dreece sport bracelets with the Kids Help Phone contact information.

Both Dreece and Vadori have delivered books to Calgarians each December since 2015, supporting several local charities: "My daughter inspired me to start my writing career, and being a strong parent and mentor is at the center of me as an author," says Adam Dreece. "It's awesome to be teamed up with Suzy and Kids Help Phone, and being able to not only inspire and engage kids, but concretely support them when they need it most."

Welcome to the fourth special bonus episode of - The Stephen King Podcast - Constant and New Listeners!

For your listening pleasure, here is a special bonus episode as Lou Sytsma conducts an interview with Canadian writer of young adult fiction fascinated by the supernatural and the stories that surround them - Katherine Dell

Katherine has released her first book of a trilogy, titled - Harmless.

"After moving from Vancouver to isolated Hazelton, BC, high school senior Rachel Barnes hopes she'll finally find closure and a sense of direction after tragedy has torn her family apart. When she and her friends discover the old spirit box her grandmother gave her, they see it as a chance to wish their troubles away. But the Great Spirits—deer, crow, bear, and the mythical wendigo—give away nothing for free.

So instead of worrying about fitting in and finding a boyfriend, Rachel finds herself in a race to control the malevolent spirit who's taken up residence in Mason Allen, who she fears and craves in equal measure. What began as a harmless game forces Rachel to confront her past—and offers her a future she never imagined."

Available at:Amazon, Kobo, Chapters / Indigo, Barnes and Noble, and select retailers.

Kelly has written two books about the teenage serial killer, Ryann Wilkanson. In the first book - Pretty Wicked, a 15-year-old girl living in the small town of Dungrave County, Colorado who dreams of being an infamous and prolific serial killer––all the while keeping her dark deeds secret from her detective father and his shrewd partner.

In the sequel, Wicked Fallout - convicted serial killer, the notorious Ryann Wilkanson hasn't been able to act on her darkest, deadliest urges for twelve years. She's exhausted her appeals and has little hope of ever getting out of prison and back to hunting.
