I once read this Stephen King story about a surgeon who got stranded on a deserted island. He couldn't find any food, and he had managed to save his surgical instruments, so he started eating himself. Like, I think he started by amputating his legs above the knee, and ate them.
Hey!! I've been trying to find this book for the longest time! Please tell me the name. Seriously, I have heard of this but have been unable to find it.......do you know if it's one of his books or just a short story or what??
It was a short story. I don't remember the name of the story exactly. I think it was called "Survivor Type", or something similar. But I know for sure that it was in his "Skeleton Crew" book.
Man, Skeleton Crew had some cool stories if I remember correctly. There was the story about the surgeon who ate himself. Then, if I remember correctly, there was a story about a toy monkey that killed people. Then there was also this story about a bunch of horny teenagers who went rafting on a lake, and they got stranded because there was an oil slick on the water that ate people. But I remember that the best story was the first and longest one. It was called "The Mist". In fact, it's being filmed right now as a motion picture directed by Frank Darabont (director of The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile) and is due in theaters late this year. Pretty awesome, if not exactly groundbreaking story. A bunch of people go to a grocery store to stock up on supplies after a bad storm. A heavy mist then rolls in, concealing some extremely nasty creatures. The body count quickly increases, the survivors start to turn against each other, and have to decide whether to stay or make a desperate attempt to escape. Cool story.
But yeah, the book is called Skeleton Crew. I recommend it, if you like that sort of stuff.
Yea I love it. I love seeing what sick twisted scenarios people (especially Stephen King) can conjure up. Thanks!Â
I read King's "Misery" a long time ago, and it was the only book I've ever read to this day that gave me the urge to vomit.....when Paul Sheldon got "hobbled". In the book, she uses an axe. In the movie, she used a piece of wood and a sledgehammer. Still nasty, but nothing compared to the graphic description of having his foot cut off.
Anyhow, thanks for the help.
