Heh. I just read that "A Good Marriage" is, in fact, being adapted. Doesn't really feel like it could be anything other than a single episode/airing, and one of the things I liked most about it was how straightforward and restrained it was, so hopefully it won't end up all bloated.
I really, really liked Full Dark, No Stars. I only gave it in this Reading Tab post three years ago, but looking back I should've gone higher.
I think I'd rather see both "1922" and "A Good Marriage" from that collection, but "Big Driver" is quite good, too.

NOTE: The story "Big Driver" is actually part of a collection of a handful of King stories called FULL DARK, NO STARS. So, if you own that collection, you already own this story. Silly me -- I have the book.
The premise does look interesting... but I am eternally skeptical of Stephen King works when they hit a screen (TV or movie). Nearly all of them lose a lot in translation. Notable exceptions are Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Shining.

Actually, my criteria for all the content I ingest is one simple question:
Does Honeykid like this?
If so, it's terrible. If not, it's great!
