Fun Trivia: S : Stephen King

Special Sub-Topic: You're In The Story


You're walking in the woods behind your farmhouse with your faithful companion Peter, when you trip over something sticking out of the ground. You suddenly have an obsession with digging, and ideas for strange inventions. Looks like you have a couple of holes in your smile also. What out of this world novel are you a part of?

    The Tommyknockers & the tommyknockers. Careful the next time you answer the door...it just may be the "Tommyknocker Man"!

Lying in bed one night, you hear scratching sounds at your window. You go over to investigate, and there's a boy standing there calling your name. Wait a minute...your bedroom is on the second floor! What tale have you floated into?
    Salem's Lot. Don't open that window! This is the last person you'd want to risk your neck for.

Walking through town today, you noticed kites hanging from their tails, an awful lot of lost pet posters, and extremely large and gaudy cars driving around. What novel are you in?
    Hearts In Atlantis & hearts in atlantis. Keep an eye out for "Low Men in Yellow Coats"!

While on a hunting trip with three of your friends in the woods of Maine, a stranger wanders up to your cabin and starts babbling about strange lights in the sky. What novel have you got yourself caught inside of now?
    Dreamcatcher. Stephen King originally was going to call this novel "Cancer", probably refering to the (shall we put it nicely?) "nasty weasels" that ate their way through and out of a few of the characters of this story. His wife Tabitha thought it was an ugly name, and may bring bad luck. So he changed it to "Dreamcatcher".

You're trying to find your way to a crying baby that's somewhere in the middle of a maze, while being chased by a blind bull with one eye. Oh, by the way, you are completely naked! What mess have you gotten yourself into this time?
    Rose Madder & rose madder. "Rose Madder" was a very good novel that I like to refer to as a "Lifetime Movie For Women" meets "The Twilight Zone". At least the bull was blind and couldn't see you in all your glory!

Browsing through a store one day, you notice a very rare and valuable baseball card that you want for your collection. The store's owner wants next to nothing for the card, as long as you play a "harmless" trick on a neighbor. What town destroying novel have you walked into?
    Needful Things. "Needful Things" brought to an end the fictional town of "Castle Rock". Many of King's stories took place here including "Cujo", The Dead Zone", and "The Body".

You're lying in bed enjoying this novel, when suddenly, you're pulled into it, and find yourself flying through a great black void. You come to a giant turtle who says, "I made the universe, but please don't blame me for it; I had a bellyache." What novel did you just get pulled into?
    IT & It & it. In Stephen King's collection "Secret Windows" he explains that he got the idea for this novel while walking over a bridge and thinking about the fairy tale "The Three Billy Goats Gruff".

You wake up on a beach just in time to see an angry "lobstrosity" closing in on you. Hurry and figure out what "Dark Tower Series" installment you have woken up into before you lose your trigger finger!
    The Drawing Of The Three. Stephen King began writing "The Dark Tower Series" way back in 1970. This series, acclaimed by fans and critics alike, is presently still ongoing, with readers across the globe anxiously anticipating the release of future installments.

You are watching cartoons, one Saturday morning, when a breakfast cereal commercial comes on. A middle-aged man dressed like a professor is in the ad. At the end of the commercial, he eats a spoonful of the cereal, looks directly at you, and says, "Nope, nothing wrong here." What novel with bite are you in now?
    Cujo & cujo. Again, in "Secret Windows", Stephen King explains that he got the idea for "Cujo" when he was having trouble with his motorcycle, and needed to get repairs done on it. He drove out to a farmhouse, where he was greeted by a growling Saint Bernard who almost took a chunk out of him. The dog's owner said, "Buster must not like your face.", and laughed.

You look out the window of your house in the quiet and peaceful suburbs, when suddenly what looks like characters out of a cartoon come driving down the street in a black van, and proceed to shoot up the town. What book from Stephen King's alter ego "Richard Bachman" are you in?
    The Regulators. Stephen King released the novels "Desperation" and "The Regulators" at the same time. The two stories are different, but contain the same characters, only in different situations, and in some cases, acting differently. If you put the two hardcover editions of these books side-by-side, the artwork on each combine to make one solid picture!
