It's actually shaping up to be a pretty big 2025 for King and his Constant Readers: "The Life of Chuck," which won the audience award at last fall's Toronto International Film Festival, arrives in theaters June 6. Before then, King's latest novel "Never Flinch" debuts in bookstores May 27 and "Hansel & Gretel," his children's book with Maurice Sendak, is out Sept. 2. Are you interested in any of these? "The Life of Chuck" movie- A story told in reverse, starting with the end of Chuck Krantz's life, and moving back in time to show how he lived that life.
