Stephen King and Bentley Little
 

This is a list of novels and short stories from Stephen King and Bentley Little that I would love to see on the big or small screen:

The Long Walk
The Talisman
Bag Of Bones
Duma Key

One For The Road
Jerusalem's Lot
Gray Matter
Home Delivery
Rainy Season

The Academy
The Association
Dominion
The Resort
The Store
University

Paperwork
Skin
Confessions Of A Corporate Man

Has any Bentley Little book ever been made into a movie or mini series? If not, why do you think not? Maybe Walmart wouldn't like it :)

I think I am one of the few people that considers Bag of Bones among King's best, definitely one of my favorites. I would love to see a film version. And The Long Walk is excellent. I think I read somewhere awhile ago that Frank Darabont had plans to make it into a film, no idea if that is still on though. Haven't heard anything about it since.

Never have warmed up to Bentley Little. I really liked The Association, because it was really creepy and yet completely ridiculous....;) But I haven't liked much of anything else I have read by him except for his short story The Washingtonians, which was interesting. But I keep reading his books. Like with John Saul, I liked one book ages ago and can't seem to give up on him....;)

The only Bentley Little work I've seen is The Washingtonians, an episode of Masters Of Horror. I would love to see his work on the big screen.

I seem to remember 'The Store' didn't mess with Wal-Mart.

I've never read any Benley Little, I'll have to do that. Does he have any books of short stories I could start with?

I have read everything King has put out, and some of his work was kind of hard to wrap my head around for a while there. But, Under The Dome was really good to me.
I'd like to see another anthology of his short stories televised like they did a few years back on TNT with Nightmares And Dreamscapes.
They left out too many good stories in that one, and oddly enough included Battleground which is from Night Shift.
Good stories though, I really liked Crouch End on TV.

Bentley Little has a collection of short stories simply called The Collection. Weird stuff. I loved it.

Cool. I'll check that out. Thanks.

I love Stephen King's works, but Bag of Bones was... boring.

Re. Bentley Little
 

I have done an article on Bentley Little on my Horror Writers site at www.horrorwriters.net

Incidentally, I am always seeking new articles for the site, so if anybody has any material, please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to consider your work for publication on the site.

Thanks.

It was. I had a very hard time finishing Insomnia as well. Some of his stuff is great, and some I have a really hard time getting through.

I'm a huge fan of short story horror collections, just because of this I think. If one story isn't doing it for you, just plow through it and get to the next one.
I hate committing to a novel, because if I don't really like it, my OCD will kick in and I'm forced to finish it anyway.
Easier to finish a bad short story than a 1200 page novel, lol.

Thankfully, I've liked most of Kings novels.
