Dear members of /r/StephenKingBookClub,
We hope this message finds you well. We are writing to inform you about some recent developments regarding the upcoming changes to the Reddit API and the subsequent impact on our beloved subreddit. As you may have heard, Reddit has announced a series of API changes that have sparked concerns among moderators and users alike.
These changes and the resulting forced shutdown of third-party apps due to exorbitant API costs have frustrated many of us here on Reddit. In light of these circumstances, we have made the decision to join the protest and set our subreddit to go dark on June 12th-13th. We believe this collective action will draw attention to the concerns we share with numerous other subreddits and provide an opportunity to voice our frustrations toward Reddit.
The changes to the API and the shutdown of third-party apps have a profound impact on our ability to foster discussion, share recommendations, moderate this subreddit, and celebrate the works of Stephen King together. We understand the inconvenience this may cause for our dedicated members, and for that, we apologize. However, we firmly believe that this protest is necessary to stand up for the principles that underpin the Reddit community.
We hope that this blackout will send a strong message to Reddit leadership, urging them to reconsider these changes and work towards a more collaborative, fair, and inclusive approach. We encourage you to join us in this collective action by participating in discussions on alternative platforms, engaging with other Stephen King communities, avoiding Reddit entirely, and spreading awareness about the issues we are facing.
Following the two-day blackout, we will reassess the situation and evaluate the guidance provided by larger subreddits and the greater Reddit community. We will make an informed decision on how to proceed, keeping the best interests of our community at heart. Thank you for your understanding. We will keep you informed about any updates regarding the situation and the status of the subreddit.
Sincerely,
The Mod Team of /r/StephenKingBookClub

Looking forward to getting my copy of other worlds tomorrow! Will be putting the half read last book of a trilogy aside to read it straight away 😆

As you can see I’m half way through the book, but honestly this has been the hardest book to keep being interested in. I’ve pushed myself so much to already read as much as I have! I can’t give up now even tho I want to😭. Please somebody tell me it’s worth the finish! I am a die hard Stephen king fan, so that was even hard for me to say about this book.

What do u guys think of the book, was picked randomly, I'm only few pages in, is it a good read (my first Stephen King book)
r/StephenKingBookClub • u/hearyoumemyfriends • 4d ago
For me its Rose Madder. Easily one of the most intense books I have ever read. Especially given the subject matter. I thought I read somewhere that King had said he wouldnt let a movie be made for this book but I could be wrong.

Just finished IT tonight and I am constantly blown away with how good this book is. It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read. I know I read it in my late teens, but I didn’t remember all of the amazing details. Truly, just spectacular.
I never saw the new movies, now I can’t wait to jump into them! I’m not ready to leave Derry and the Losers Club. I’m going to start Welcome To Derry too. I know none of them will be as good as the book…but I love being in this world.

If you’re a Cujo fan, I’d love for you to check out my latest “How I’d Survive” video! 🐶 https://youtu.be/UIWRWuLW1Z8
I had a lot of fun breaking down the movie and coming up with different ways I’d try to survive Cujo. Hope you enjoy it!
r/StephenKingBookClub • u/follower148 • 8d ago
I'm a student and want to read it before watching the movie. Couldn't afford a new one so, looking if I could find one.
Also fine if I could borrow it and return it to you on completion. It's not a good idea but I have to try my chance to get it.
Thank you
