Some might say he was wasting his life away. His meteoric rise came to an abrupt end when he lost his temper and assaulted a referee, earning himself a lifetime ban from the league and cutting short what most people assumed was going to be a long, successful career. King was unconcerned money was no issue, so he took it as an early retirement and focused on other fun things to do.įree from the constraints of a career and enabled by the wealth of his family, David King spent most of his time at the pub, drinking, watching games, and getting into fights. His robustness and athletic abilities led him to rugby, where he could cut loose and really cause a ruckus. King excelled and gained a reputation as a promising, if somewhat reckless, rookie. ![]() David lived for the adrenaline rush of a good fight and would go out of his way to get into one.

When my brother started pestering the rest of the family about Discworld novels sometime in the early 90’s, it was prime-annoyed-sister time for me to decide that he would not be influencing all of my reading habits and tastes. I have to admit, I’m a bit of a late-comer to Sir Terry. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This collection of classic and newly reprinted stories provides readers with more of her unsettling, dark tales, including the “The Possibility of Evil” and “The Summer People.” In these deliciously dark stories, the daily commute turns into a nightmarish game of hide and seek, the loving wife hides homicidal thoughts and the concerned citizen might just be an infamous serial killer. ![]() For the first time in one volume, a collection of Shirley Jackson’s scariest stories, with a foreword by PEN/Hemingway Award winner Ottessa MoshfeghĪfter the publication of her short story “The Lottery” in the New Yorker in 1948 received an unprecedented amount of attention, Shirley Jackson was quickly established as a master horror storyteller. ![]() ![]() It’s based on the 2008 update of the original 1987 book, and includes seven new embedded videos, as well as links to supporting material within the book.
