Notice how the names of the two characters are Jameson and Jack like the names of whiskeys.

reminds me of 'the man who loved flowers' but still love it!

I thought the same.

2 things stands out. 1st the guy never really told Jamison anything about him just in case he doesn't die. And 2nd Jamison said, "So I'm your first victim," but thought twice about it. Stephen King is a master.

That was pretty good, but where's the rest of The Long Walk? I'm hankering for more (Really enjoy your stuff) 👍

I read The Fifth Step upon its release. I enjoyed the heck out of it, though my fascination was well and truly amalgamated with shock in the last minute or so of the story. I thoroughly liked the lot. I didn't think I'd enjoy the read/commentary combo, but I'm happy to say I think you pulled it off extremely well. Cheers, man. Cheers. I found your account a month or so ago. I've greedily consumed many of your videos since. I'm very glad I found your channel. You're very good at what you do, fellow Constant Reader. Keep up the great work.

I am SO glad I have discovered this channel. The AI images along with the story read aloud is just a fascinating experience, as I am a non English speaker so I love listening to a good steady narration. You do it so well!. Thank you!

KINGO!! That just cracks me up! It should totally be a thing. Is it already a thing and I just didn't know about it? Why didn't I know about it? Aahhhhhgggg!

love Mr King - he's the master of tales As soon as the 5th stepper said he had beaten the classmate for no reason, other than he didn't like the kid, red flags were flying.... I didn't trust him at all at that point, and was so hoping Jamison would just leave the bench and walk away. Good story; thank you for the great presentation of it Looking forward to more!

I note the reference to an old short story, 'Last Wrung on the Ladder'. I also didn't faile to notice the guy's villainy - not because of the Yankees logo but because Jack was so evidently nondescript, like many of SK's baddies. like you, it was all to innocuous and I was just waiting for the twist. Intriguingly, it's made me call into question this Jack's entire story. I'll be hanging out for the collection upon its release. Ngā mihi.

Really enjoyed this! I also thought “Well. I’d be a dead duck” because I would’ve listened too 😁

Ok, this was a good idea, I really liked hearing a wonderful short story and liked the kitschy bingo card. "Kingo" reminds me of Kingu, a Sumerian mythic king consort of Tiamat, the serpentine queen of the primordial depths.

Gotta love a good conversation between Leo DiCaprio and Robert Deniro

The best part is the King-o! Great, great read-along! I thought that the confession would be related to something about how J's wife died, perhaps. This character building could be used in a bigger novel, to let us know what happened with this stranger.

Stephen King short stories are a bit like the parcel in 'pass the parcel' you never know what the surprise will be or who is gonna get it. Rather like the build up in Dolans Cadillac, you are so invested in the tale, the punch at the end is always a shock.
