I welcome Julia Marchese to discuss Stephen King's short story and her adaptation of "I Know What You Need." There was an audio issue you will hear on my end of the conversation. My mic wasn't turned on properly. I was able to fix it somewhat in edits, but my end still sounds like I'm stuck in a time vortex, broadcasting from the 1950s.

Welcome to Short Bites: A Stephen King Podcast! In this special solo bonus episode, I’m sharing my favourite adaptations of Stephen King’s short stories and novellas. While Short Bites usually features conversations with fellow fans about King’s work, this time I’m flying solo to keep the episodes coming regularly. From The Mist to Maximum Overdrive, I count down my top picks (with a number one that might surprise you). Not every fan favourite makes the list — sometimes because I haven’t read them yet, and sometimes because they just didn’t grab me.  Email Short Bites: [email protected] Check out the video versions on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ShortBitesAStephenKingPodcast Support the show!  Be a Deadlights Club Member and listen to this episode AD FREE (plus a lot more) on Patreon: patreon.com/jason_white Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/weirdreader

We also discuss Stephen King's drug abuse while directing Maximum Overdrive, what we've been reading, how Ozzy's death affected us, Josh Malerman, and something about Syn you might not know she used to do!!

In this episode of Short Bites, Jason is joined by Jen from the YouTube channel Literary Love 123 to discuss Stephen King’s chilling short story The Boogeyman. Together, they explore what makes this early work so disturbing, how it captures primal fears, and whether the 2023 film adaptation holds up to the original. This lively discussion dives into King’s themes of grief, denial, toxic masculinity, and the monstrous things that hide in plain sight. Jason and Jen also share personal reactions, favourite lines, and how The Boogeyman compares to other horror stories about parenthood and trauma.
