Stephen King has been lighting up social media with his signature political jabs this weekend. According to Fox News, on Monday he posted on X claiming Trump has never had a child, has been married three times, ran businesses into the ground, and lacks life experience a clear riff on an AOC critique that blew up online. Libs of TikTok and others piled on fast, pointing out Trumps five kids, with one quipping Donald Trump famously childless. KUTV and KATU report a separate X post where King accused Trump of snubbing World Series teams from the White House got slapped with a community note it stemmed from a fake satire screenshot, no such Trump post exists, and fans mocked it as his newest fiction. These fiery takes, amid Trumps second term, underscore Kings unfiltered anti-Trump streak, from calling him a Putin-loving dipsh-- last year to ICE-bashing as the American Gestapo.
On the book front, Parade reveals King channeled his late friend Peter Straub to finish the Talisman trilogy with Other Worlds Than These, out October 6 from Scribner. Using a plot seed from Straubs old email about 1950s killer Charles Starkweather, it brings back Jack Sawyer, links to the Dark Tower via Mid-Worlds Gullet, and credits both authors King told Esquire he channeled Peter like crazy after getting family blessing. Its a biographical milestone, closing a 20-year saga cut short by Straubs 2022 death.
Hollywood mixed bag: AOL reports two King adaptations canceled as 2026 kicks off, pausing the pipeline. But Tampa Today notes Misery, the sole Oscar-winning King film thanks to Kathy Bates, hit Netflix March 1, reigniting his adaptation legacy.
Fan events buzz too, like Doylestown Bookshops virtual Stephen King club March 10, though nothing ties directly to King himself.
