Literary Monsters Link

I enjoyed this October 14 blog posting on literary monsters. In particular, it deals with massive works and their ability to keep us glued for hours to the written page. Christ Deal writes:

"Under the Dome, by Stephen King. Just a hair shorter than the expanded edition of The Stand, Under the Dome will prove to be King’s longest single novel in quite some time at 1088 pages. Based on a 450 page abandoned novel from the 1980’s, Under the Dome returns to King’s home turf, Maine."
