Welcome to part one of A King’s Ransom. This series of articles is a look at the full Stephen King library, including re-reading all his books from the start in chronological order, as well as watching the movies that came from his incredible career – both those adapted from his novels and short stories and those original films that King had a hand in creating.

I am starting back from the beginning, but I will only deal with short stories when they arrive in collected editions. Also, for King’s movies, I am just dealing with films adapted from his novels and short stories (or his original creations) and not any sequels – so don’t expect me to watch and talk about Children of the Corn 42.
