To celebrate the release of King\u2019s latest shortest story collection You Like It Darker, we\u2019re unlocking our premiere episode of The Stephen King Archives, our Patreon exclusive imprint in which your Losers search the vault of Stephen King material \u2013 dusting off unpublished short stories, long-forgotten interviews, coffee-stained manuscripts, and alternate versions of your favorite tales.\nThis particular episode, recorded in 2021, zeroes in on King\u2019s earliest stories \u2013 his roots, if you will \u2013 1956\u2019s "Jhonathan and the Witchs" 1963\u2019s The Aftermath, and 1965\u2019s "I Was a Teenage Grave Robber". What are these stories? Where did they come from? Listen ahead as Losers Randall Colburn, Jenn Adams, and myself parse through these early, early works. And to help us out, we even consulted the one and only Bev Vincent. And, as you\u2019ll hear, the writer and noted King scholar had much to say on these works.\nBut if you want more of the Archives series, rest assured, we have several installments from over the years, including a brand new entry about the ways King\u2019s short stories have evolved from inception to collections, and that episode features another King historian in Bryant Burnette. To get that episode, you can join us in The Barrens at patreon.com/thebarrens, where we have close to a thousand hours of content just waiting for you. Not to mention a whole Discord community of Constant Readers just like you. And, not to mention, our latest book episode on You Like It Darker. Win, win.\n\ufeffFollow us on\xa0Facebook\xa0|\xa0Twitter\xa0|\xa0Instagram\xa0|\xa0Patreon\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
