## Resource

The Losers' Club producer and co-host Randall Colburn sits down with author Caroline Bicks to discuss her highly anticipated new book, Monsters in the Archives: My Year of Fear with Stephen King. Named the University of Maineʼs inaugural Stephen E. King Chair in Literature, Bicks became the first scholar to be granted exclusive access to King's private archives -- a huge coup and one that certainly turned our heads at the Derry Public Library. Together, they discuss the expectations vs the reality of the archives, how King’s work and themes have evolved, bucket list stories to sift through, and much much more. Fans of our Stephen King Archives series in The Barrens will delight in this episode. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
