I asked Frank to create this board for us so that we have a place to continue the group reading discussions that we've been doing on the SKMB. We discuss a short story every Wednesday. Each discussion will have it's own thread and you can add to the discussions any time, not just on the Wednesdays that the discussion threads are posted. When we select the stories, we try to select stories that everyone has access to. We assume that everyone has the Stephen King and Joe Hill books when we select stories from those two. When we select from authors other than Stephen or Joe, we try to find an online link to the story, so everyone has access.
Stay posted for our story selection. We will start on July 8. Spidey, Cat or I will pick the first story and post the selection here soon.

Thanks! I will go order the book Strange Weather from the library - this should give me enough lead time so that it gets to me in time.
I look forward to it!

Looks like I cannot join in (unless I go try to find a copy at a book store)
I ordered Strange Weather from my local library but it still has not come in. Just called the branch but they will not be open until 10 a.m. my time so I will have to call back

Have you, or would you, do Peter Straub novels/short stories? There is still the SK link. We are open to most anything. The trick is trying to find something that everyone has access to. We assume that the SKMB members have all the Joe Hill and Stephen King books. When we pick other authors, we try to find a story that has an online link (like a story that ran in a magazine might be posted on the magazine website). We've done quite a few old stories that are in the public domain. You can find links to many public domain stories. If you can find a Straub story with a link, we're game. We are going to do the other 3 stories in Strange Weather first and then we are open. We stick to short stories or novellas for the weekly group so everyone has time to read them.

Have you covered Everything's Eventual in the group read? I know we have three stories left in Strange Weather. Was just thinking that it's been a while since I visited the stories in EE.
