Stephen King’s Unpredictable ‘Everything Eventual’ Serves Up New Yorker Horror [The Losers’ Club Podcast]
“Stories are artifacts, not really made things which we create and can take credit for, but pre-existing objects which we dig up.”
By 2002, Stephen King had more than bounced back from his 1999 accident. He put his stamp on the e-book with both The Plant and Riding the Bullet, revisited sci-fi with the hallucinatory Dreamcatcher, and even reunited with pal Peter Straub on Black House. Everything’s Eventual built on that energy by offering more or less a greatest hits of his corollary ’90s output.
All told, there are 11 short stories and three novellas within the 2002 collection. In the first of two episodes dedicated to Everything’s Eventual, Losers Michael Roffman, Randall Colburn, Jenn Adams, and special guest Ashley Casseday of Keep It Weird gather for lunch at the Gotham Cafe and smoke through their least favorite tales of the bunch.

The Halloweenies take a break from the cenobites and dig up the deadites again to review Evil Dead Burn. It’s a full house for this installment and the feelings are all over the place with some divisive takes amongst the five of them. Lucky for you, there’s a seat at the table… join them and enjoy your mashed potatoes.
If you recall, the gang tackled the entire franchise — including Ash Vs. Evil Dead and unofficial entries like Drag Me to Hell and even Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness— in anticipation of 2023’s Evil Dead Rise. Be sure to revisit the entire season, starting with their two-part episode on Sam Raimi’s original DIY classic.
