The Kingcast
Description
Screenwriter Ian McDonald (who penned this week's Netflix movie Woman of the Hour starring Anna Kendrick) joins Vespe to discuss one of King's odder short stories: Mrs. Todd's Shortcut.
This weird one is about a woman who becomes obsessed with shortcuts who ends up disappearing on one and the old Mainer who was perhaps a little in love with her remembering her all these years later.
We talk about this story, our own random short cuts we've found in our lives, King using monsters in varying and interesting ways, and just why On Writing is such a masterpiece.
