Do the gods of the Stephen King universe invoke fear or hope?

As part of our year of origins and cosmologies, our hosts, Christian Ashley, Kevin Schaeffer, and TJ Blackwell, discuss the universe of the Stephen King novels - especially looking at King's own life and the Dark Tower novels! What inspires Stephen King and cosmic entities are behind the stories like IT and Gun Slinger?

What is the best novel by Stephen King? What order should I read all Stephen King books? Who is the God in the Stephen King universe? What is the Stephen King universe called? Why is Pennywise scared of Maturin? Is Maturin stronger than Pennywise? Who is the Crimson Queen in the Dark Tower? Is Crimson King same species as Pennywise? How did Stephen King get his inspiration? We discuss it all in this one! Join in the conversation with us on Discord now!
