This week on the show, we continue our time with Stephen King's Carrie as we read the 2nd third of the novel, ending on the following quote: "They stared at each other in the dark, frozen by the actual act as thought never could have done. Her very breath turned to glass in her throat. Then, inside, the laughter began."

This week on the show, we begin our series covering Mike Flanagan's Carrie by first taking a look at Stephen King's original novel. We've divided the novel into roughly 3 equal parts, and today we're covering the first third. Carrie doesn't have chapters, so we'll be reading through the following paragraph:

"She closed her eyes, slept, and dreamed of huge, living stones crashing through the night, seeking out Momma, seeking out Them. They were trying to run, trying to hide. But the rock would not hide them; the dead tree gave no shelter."

I know you're all very excited to hear two middle-aged men discuss menstruation!

Please note that we're a bit more free with spoilers on this one. We've both read the book before, but also the ending of Carrie is so widely known in the cultural consciousness

Discussion Question: What is your favorite Stephen King "Ka-llage?"

Next week, Carrie continues as we cover the middle third of the novel. We will end on the following paragraph:
"They stared at each other in the dark, frozen by the actual act as thought never could have done. Her very breath turned to glass in her throat. Then, inside, the laughter began" (It's right after Chris yanks on the rope.)
