Not the most expensive of King’s first-edition novels – my wife was not asked to pull a ‘harmless prank’ as part of her online checkout process – but that doesn’t matter to me. It’s a first-edition copy of King’s book, still in its original plastic wrap, and the first in an ongoing series of first-edition King novels given to me by my wife as birthday gifts. One, a paperback edition of King’s 1991 novel, holds no special meaning for me given my proclivity for leaving copies of King’s books in airplane pouches and hotel rooms around the world, this is probably the third or fourth copy of Needful Things I’ve purchased in my lifetime. I currently own two copies of Stephen King’s Needful Things. With ‘The Dark Tower’ hitting theaters this weekend, we look at another Stephen King adaptation to see what does (and doesn’t) work in his movie adaptations.
