Whoa! Raúl is moving up on the world - he scored a Stephen King novel! That is going to be one creepy audiobook!

Here's the one-line blurb from Amazon: "In Stephen King's mesmerizing new novel, a Maine town is subject to the imposition of an impenetrable dome that isolates its citizens from the world".

It seems he really does have a predilection of sorts for the horror genre.


Under The Dome by Stephen King

Obviously I meant to say "moving up IN the world" but I discovered that when you go in to update a post, that's when the accented ú turns into gobbledygook garbage. BWW is so weird.

I, like Joey, would put The Shining in the freezer.

Seth Rudetsky's latest "deconstruction" has snippets from Raul. The same Rocky Horror bit Seth's commented on before as well as a bit from Hair.

Hahaha, I was just saying the other day that I hoped he would deconstruct Raul. Thanks for posting that.

Priceless.

"Beth is really, really sick and they don't think she's going to make it!"
"Awww, Joey. Do you want to put it in the freezer?"

I started to read The Shining when I was 12 because the "edgy" girl in my English class was reading it. I got bored and stopped. Horror books don't really do it for me.

I was totally thrilled when I heard about the King book, having been a "constant reader" for several years now! Yay Raúl!! :)

BTW, anyone who isn't a big horror fan, I would still give this book a chance. Most of King's more recent stuff has been a lot less straight horror and more...I guess "creepy" with some genuinely scary parts, and less hitting you over the head with blood and gore.

I *love* a good audiobook read by someone with a beautiful voice. Incidentally, I highly recommend Hearts in Atlantis by King, read by William Hurt (another actor who I think has one of the most beautiful speaking voices on the planet.)

Heh. I would:

(a) Need someone to hold me.
(b) Never sleep again.
(c) Put the book in the freezer

Or, perhaps all of the above. I'm a huge baby when it comes to stuff like this. The only way I'll make it through 25/8 is if I sit through the movie telling myself, "It's just Raul, it's just Raul." Otherwise I will have nightmares for a month.

God yes, between 25/8 and the King audiobook I wouldn't be sleeping for weeks. Ugh, decisions, decisions. Massive nightmares or Raul?

Yes, but something like a Kermit Muppet and not, say, something creepy like Zoot.

Now, mother always said that whenever you hear a strange, frightening, and potentially life-threatening ghostly chant coming from the dark woods that there's one thing that you should do: Not wake the others and go investigate it alone...

I also think Ernie's song "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon" is great. And I say that with no irony. It's so cute.

More of Raúl doing the social thing. This is from the opening of Irena?s Vow on March 29th.







He is looking lovely. Not quite as sartorially splendid as previous appearances, but at least he?s backed off of the hair gel just a tiny bit.

I'm excited. I really regret not going to Wall-to-Wall Sondheim. This probably won't be as fantastic, but pretty close. And what a lineup!
