Founded in 2017, The Losers’ Club® is an award-winning weekly series that chronologically digs through the work of Stephen King with humor, irreverence, and a critical eye. Each episode, the Losers gather together to read between the iconic pages and share the latest in King’s Dominion, whether it’s the author’s oft-controversial tweets, the boldest Hollywood headlines, or his endless forthcoming projects. The series also regularly features special guests. In the past, the Losers have spoken to Mike Flanagan, Thomas Jane, Tananarive Due, Chapo Trap House, Owen Teague, Mick Garris, Mary Lambert, Jerry O’Connell, Wil Wheaton, Joe Bob Briggs, and even King himself.

Suitable for readers both Constant and casual. King says check us out.

Edited by Kyle Orozovich. Music by The Most/Charlie Laurence. Produced by Michael Roffman and Randall Colburn.

The Losers' Club: A Stephen King Podcast

Once again, we're back on the Beam to close out the King catalogue. In our latest book episode, which has been exclusive to the Barrens since 2022, the Losers sort through Stephen King's 2022 novel Fairy Tale. Together, they discuss the fantasy genre at large, why it's so en vogue right now, how this story factors into King's Dominion, the missed opportunities, and, of course, dogs.

Fairy Tale

Losers Jenn Adams, Rachel Reeves, and Ana Marie Cox check into Bates Motel on a rainy night to discuss Robert Bloch's Psycho, the 1959 best-selling novel that Alfred Hitchcock turned iconic the following year for Universal Pictures. 

Danse Macabre is a recurring feature of The Losers' Club that journeys through all the books that influenced Stephen King. (You know, as he listed in 1981's Danse Macabre. Ahem, hence the name of this series.) In the past, we've catalogued Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, William Golding's Lord of the Flies, Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, Peter Straub's Ghost Story, and Jay Anson's The Amityville Horror.

Dark Tower Detour is a chance for Gunslingers to study the minutiae of Roland Deschain’s epic quest.

Today, we're unlocking the first volume -- "Captain Trips"/"American Nightmares"-- to promote the second one that is currently streaming in The Barrens (patreon.com/thebarrens) with the third to follow shortly.
