About this deal

King's classic story, adapted into the movie Stand By Me, now available for the first time from Hodder in standalone form, as part of their exciting Stephen King reissue programme for 2021. Alter, Ethan (August 8, 2016). " 'Stand by Me' Turns 30: The Screenwriters on That R Rating and Showing the Movie to Stephen King". Yahoo. Archived from the original on August 25, 2018 . Retrieved August 25, 2018. Stephen made his first professional short story sale ("The Glass Floor") to Startling Mystery Stories in 1967. Throughout the early years of his marriage, he continued to sell stories to men's magazines. Many were gathered into the Night Shift collection or appeared in other anthologies.

Teddy Duchamp is the son of a mentally ill father. His father is a World War Two veteran who returned home deeply affected by the traumatic events that happened on the beaches of Normandy. Because the mental condition of Teddy’s father had gone untreated, his father became violent. When Teddy was 8 years old, as punishment for something he did his father held Teddy’s ears against a hot stovetop. This injury left Teddy with a hearing impediment and a disfigured ear. But much like Chris, Teddy in his innocence does not feel resentment towards his father. In a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" chat in 2017, Reiner said that Stand by Me is his personal favorite of his own films. [39] Not that these kids had a particularly carefree youth. No, there are some struggles. But, you know, life is getting harder as you get older. Before it gets easier again. But nothing will ever be quite the same way as it had been when you were twelve years old and had all your life in front of you.

Ace Merrill and Vern Tessio later appear in "Nona" a short story from the collection Skeleton Crew.

If you think you've experienced a Stephen King book by watching the film adaption, I assure you, you're mistaken. There's something about his simplistic writing style that captures you and draws you into the worlds he creates that plays better in your head than on the big screen. And then there is the very real fear that while you’re just about to go on your long journey and your life is lying in front of you, fresh and ready to be explored, a web of roads that may lead you anywhere, a succession of crossroads that present you with endless possibilities, that you might take a wrong turn somewhere and end up in a cul-de-sac. That fear of getting it wrong. The movie's success sparked a renewed interest in Ben E. King's song " Stand by Me". Initially a number four pop hit in 1961, the song re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1986, eventually peaking at number nine in December of that year. [26] The song was also reissued in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, where it topped the UK Singles Chart and Irish Singles Chart respectively for three consecutive weeks in February 1987. The movie was released in both countries the following month.Stand by Me". Box Office Mojo. August 8, 1986. Archived from the original on July 15, 2018 . Retrieved January 17, 2015. King was the recipient of America’s prestigious 2014 National Medal of Arts and the 2003 National Book Foundation Medal for distinguished contribution to American Letters. In 2007 he also won the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America. He lives with his wife Tabitha King in Maine Feldman recalled how his home life translated into his onscreen character: "[Most kids aren't] thinking they're going to get hit by their parents because they're not doing well enough in school, which will prevent them from getting a work permit, which will prevent them from being an actor." [3] O'Connell agreed that he was cast based on how his personality fit the role, saying "Rob wanted us to understand our characters. He interviewed our characters. [...] I tried to stay like Vern and say the stupid things Vern would. I think I was Vern that summer." [20] Reiner and the producers interviewed more than 70 boys for the 4 main roles, [15] out of more than 300 who auditioned; [20] Phoenix originally read for the part of Gordie Lachance. [20] Ethan Hawke auditioned for Chris Chambers. [21]

Most people have probably seen - or at least heard of - the movie Stand By Me; the heartwarming and surprisingly faithful adaptation of Stephen King's short story The Body.The body یکی از بهترین داستان‌های Coming of ageهست که تا حالا نوشته شده، شاید خیلی از مردم از دور استیون کینگ رو با کتاب‌های وحشتی که نوشته بشناسن اما به نظر من رسالت کینگ نوشتن داستان‌های Coming of ageه، کاری که کینگ توی ۱۹۴ صفحه این کتاب انجام داده خیلی‌ از نویسنده‌ها در هزاران صفحه هم نمی‌تونند انجام بدن. Thoughts: By far and away my biggest issue with this novella was that I didn't care for the characters. Part of this is that the novella feels a lot like a precursor to IT, and Gordon in particular feels like he's just a slight variation of Big Bill. I did feel pity for Chris and Teddy, though I couldn't tell you a single thing about Vern. The fact that it seemed so much like IT also effected my enjoyment of it, there were a lot of similarities here.
