Niall's Post: Stephen King and 1408

Stephen King is one of America's most well known authors. He has written many books including Cujo, Misery, The Shining, and short stories such as The Body, Shawshank Redemption, and 1408.

I Know of 1408 because it was recently made into a movie with John Cusak and Samuel L. Jackson. I don't usually read horror books, because I often get afraid, but I Was attracted to this book becuse of the story. I thought it was a great idea and very original. Usually it's a haunted house not a hotel and I thought it would be alot of fun to read and everyone in our group would like it.

Joseph's Post: Summary

Mike came to The Dolphin hotel because he wanted to stay at the room 1408. The room is haunted and Mike writes books about haunted places. The hotel manager doesn't want him to stay in the room because many people have died in it including 12 suicides. Mike doesn't care because he is not afraid of ghosts and things like that. But when he enters the room he starts feeling sick and says it is like being high.
