‘The Ultimate Stephen King Quiz Book’ Is a Must-Have for Constant Readers [The Losers’ Club Podcast]
To date, Stephen King has published 65 novels, 11 collections, five non-fiction books, and over 200 short stories. That’s all without including the screenplays, the adaptations, the essays, and the list goes on. For Constant Readers, it can be overwhelming trying to keep tabs on all things that serve the beam that is King’s Dominion.
Of course, that hasn’t stopped them from trying.
That notion isn’t lost on UK author and musician Dave Musson, who has just published The Ultimate Stephen King Quiz Book. Featuring more than 3,000 questions spread across 172 individual, 19-question quizzes that cover every novel, collection, and adaptation, it’s what Musson has aptly billed “a true test for Constant Readers everywhere.”
Naturally, the Losers had to take him up on the challenge, and so they’ve invited Musson on to quiz them using the very questions from his book. He also weighs in on how he’s covered King’s work on YouTube, written songs influenced by King’s prose with his band Chapter Nineteen, and how the pandemic pushed him to get creative with all this insight.
Stream the episode below and pick up a copy of Musson’s quiz book via Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Then return next week when the Losers unwrap some essential Kingian gifts for another Kingmas celebration. For further adventures, join the Losers’ Club over long days and pleasant nights via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS.
You can also unlock hundreds of hours of exclusive content in The Barrens (Patreon).

John Carpenter’s ‘Prince of Darkness’ Is Flawed But Undeniably Original [Halloweenies Podcast]
John Carpenter is back with a new album next week: Lost Themes IV: Noir.
To celebrate, the Halloweenies are unlocking their past episode from January 2022 on the maestro’s 1987 relic, Prince of Darkness. Join Michael Roffman, Dan Caffrey, McKenzie Gerber, and Rachel Reeves in the basement of a Los Angeles monastery as they decipher their feelings on the curious case study of the crossroads between science and faith.
Together, they debate whether or not this intriguing intersection overpowers the narrative and characters, chart where this fits in Carpenter’s overall oeuvre, and meditate on a few what-ifs in the casting department. They also marvel at the pulsing score, discuss its parallels to Inferno, and try to make sense of the mythos at the center.
So, go to the mirror and listen below. Subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. New to the Halloweenies? Catch up with the gang by revisiting their essential episodes on past franchises such as Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Scream, The Evil Dead, and Chucky. This year? Alien.
You can also become a member of their Patreon, The Rewind, for hilariously irreverent commentaries (e.g. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Gremlins), one-off deep dives on your favorite rentals (e.g. Saw, The Changeling), and even topical spinoffs like this past summer’s greatest adventure Fortune & Glory: An Indiana Jones Podcast.
