Enjoyable coming of age book by Stephen King
A mid-range Stephen King book. Not exactly a horror if that is what you are looking for but a good read none the less.
Devin Jones takes a summer job at Joyland but it turns out to be so much more than what he was expecting. He discovers that he enjoys "Wearing The Fur" or in other words the big dog mascot costume that all employees rotate through, and that he is good at it. Like many amusement parks, Joyland has its own resident fortune teller and ghost, both of which Devin is skeptical about, to begin with, but takes an interest in any way.
I highly recommend this to all Stephen King fans, especially those who like his earlier work.

Stephen King's Haterd Against Trucks
Maximum Overdrive- is one if not the worst movie based off of a stephen king novel and who better to direct this garbge than Stephen King himself. Its his only movie he directed.
After a comet causes a radiation storm on Earth, machines come to life and turn against their makers. Holed up in a North Carolina truck stop, a group of survivors must fend for themselves against a mass of homicidal trucks. A diner cook, Bill Robinson (Emilio Estevez), emerges as the unlikely leader of the pack, attempting to find an escape plan for himself and the survivors, who include his boss, Bubba Hendershot (Pat Hingle), and a newlywed couple.
Even a bank machine tells Stephen King himself that he is a asshole. Which is funny.
Dont watch this movie. Its bad.
