No, I had not heard of either. The last King book I read was Hearts in Atlantis
It was nothing like his horror writing. Kostovan on first glance, oh! The wiki page on her mentions Van Helsing. I liked that first movie. It did not seem like horror to me 
I saw that when it came out in 2004, but the subsequent movies did not really appeal to me at all, and I lost interest in the vampires and werewolves. I did really enjoy Anne Rice's vampire tales, in the Lestat series. I read those quite a few times before I was saved. I also enjoyed reading Jean M. Auel's Earth Children series that started with Clan of the Cave Bear. I read those many times also. And Jane Austen. LOL. What a mix I do not know how many times I have read Pride and Prejudice. Probably about six times Ken Follett's Pillars of The Earth was highly enjoyable for multiple reads also, and I have watched the mini series more than once too Atlas Shrugged was over a thousand pages long, but I never could read all of John Galt's speech 
A sixty page monologue got tedious every single time LOLOLOL but otherwise, I found Rand's fiction very satisfying

I read Hearts in Atlantis too many years ago. I don't really remember it but don't believe that it was particularly scary. My favorite Stephen King book is Pet Sematary. I named my cat after the cat in the book, Church. She lived to be 19 years old, really sweet affectionate cat. I believe that I read Clan of the Cave Bear too.

Did kostovan act in van helsing or they made a movie of her book with that title? I just watched it last year. Lol. I don't think it was intended to be horror. I love vampire and werewolves.. vampire most... i even tried turning to one myself.. a little extreme , i know but that was then and now i'm here... still love them though but beginning to rethink. I have heard a lot about pride and prejudice but i haven't read it... don't know where to find it. The book i read more than 3 times and still loved it is the fault in our stars by john green, i also watched the movie (hated it). I don't think i'm ready to go for 1000 yet but i think new moon is either up to, more than or almost up to.
I read little in an abundance of Katherines by john green. Good book.
No going away from the computer is all its 5:53 pm here. Plus, I want to make sure the Sugar commodities on Wall Street are doing ok. If ya know what I mean ... being as how I am such a broker and all....A slight front tip of my non-existent hat.
I have seen Van Helsing twice, thought it was a pretty good action flick. No, I didn't find it scary at all but rather humorous at times.
Actually, I found it to be scary but that's the nature of Stephen King. My late wife before my current wife lived in Maine and met him quite a few times and talked at length. He lives in Bangor right in the city and is always walking around. She said he was a nice man, easy to talk to and paid attention to what she was saying. A few years he got ran over during one of his walks but recovered.
I took Spanish in high school, practically lived with a Hispanic kid, took Spanish 1 again in Jr. college while there for computer classes. Yet I can hardly remember any of it. It is so true, use it or lose it.
¿Same as saying sleep tight my friends?
It's nothing handsome!
Whatever you say chief.

I'm so jealous.... for the rest, so sad. Sorry about your wife..... how in heaven's name did he get run over?
I'm gonna go too... missing the sugar if you know what i mean, besides, my battery is low and it's 2:13 am.... i wish this dumb stuff was fully charged.... i slept all afternoon for this.
He was walking down a country road. A van that was driving by hit him, because the driver was trying to keep his dog from jumping out the window and was distracted. Afterwards, Stephen King thought that would be a good idea for a short story but I'm not sure if he ever wrote it.
I haven't seen much of her lately at all. She seems very busy these days. Well, time for me to go to bed now. Sorry about the battery. I will pray that it holds a decent charge next time you charge it which will probably be in a few minutes. Good night dear. Don't forget to say your prayers. I will pray for angels to watch over you tonight.

Big ma seems very busy? Says the guy who came late and left without a goodnight until later and then went to sleep. I think you're the busy one with 5 work days instead of 4.
I could have charged and used but there ain't no power here since 9 or so. Goodnight, i never forget to say my prayers except when i am totally drowned with the sleep... sometimes i sleep pray and open my eyes to realize i was saying utter nonsense. Lol. Thanks for praying for the angels... don't forget to mention mosquitoes. Lol.
I cannot really remember anything about Hearts in Atlantis, a fact I realized when I looked it up to just now to read the story lines
Forgetfulness does come in handy when re-reading books you enjoy I did not read Pet Cemetery... Cujo was more than enough for me LOL The Clan of the Cave Bear (Earth Children series) books I read over and over again. The Mammoth Hunters was my least favorite of the series; it was the third of six books. When I first got that far, after finishing that book, I thought, oh, I should have read The Valley of Horses again first, before reading Mammoth Hunters, so I read that again, and then I thought, oh, I should have read Clan of The Cave Bear again first, so I read it again, and then I immediately re-read The Valley of Horses, and then read the Mammoth Hunters again, to keep it all in proper order, all in a month LOL. That was probably at least thirty years ago...

I have the valley of horses. My granny bought it last year.... haven't read it..... looks boring.
I highly recommend Jane Austen to you
She is quite unique in her writing style, and nothing like many of the other authors we have been discussing If you like fictionalized historical drama, you may enjoy Robin Maxwell's The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn. Maxwell also wrote The Queen's Bastard, which is about Queen Elizabeth I, who was Anne Boleyn's daughter by King Henry VIII. You might also enjoy Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth, which is historical fiction set during the twelfth century, following the lives of common, humble but aspiring-to-succeed people struggling under the monarchy and the abuses of the church
