Stephen King's Rose Red - Page 2

Comments: after seeing both rose red and the diary of Ellen Rimbauer, I have done alot of searching on the net about whether or not this has any truth to it. I have found both. I was enjoying reading the diary of Ellen Rimbauer when I found that it was written by Riley Pearson I was upset and was going to stop reading it, but it was edited by Joyce Reardon. why would Mr Pearson allow Joyce Reardon to edit one of his books unless maybe because it was a stipulation for writing from the diary. Some sites say there is a rose red,and some say that there is no such house. And why is there nothing(that I have been able to find)that mentions Joyce Reardon's trip through the house, if there is such a site out there please let me know about it.

I do not believe that there was or is a Rose Red house. Stephen king is very good and making it seem that there is a such a place. This is what makes his writing so realistic. It is this style of writing that keeps people coming back to get his latest published book.

Comments: I think Rose Red is a combination of more than one house. Ie.

The Winchester House.

The Biltmore House.

And The House on the Rock

This sort of thing always makes my blood electric. In that I wish I could spend time in such a house. I do not fear the undead or departed and the idea of having an interaction with the other side like this is a thrill to me.

This being said I think the Rose Red house could have been real. I have had experiences in real life that support the haunted house.

Although no masterpiece, I enjoyed Rose Red to some extent because it seemed like a throwback to the old days when a real novel approach to a haunted/possessed house story could make it stand out from the rest of the drivel, horror related or not. Unfortunately, I feel like tastes and expectations have advanced past the point of Rose Red being able to attain this category of literary accolade - it tries, it gets close, it gets to where a lesser derivative work might have gotten to, in the 70s or even 80s, but now, I really would have to see a brand new haunted house work with a really, actual unique approach, to not label it "more of the same", and Rose Red, while it makes a very good attempt, suffers from "cultural magnetism", where ideas and thoughts and trends of the day are used, focused on and come into play, because they appeal to and are from and part of the people's culture, overall, in society, at the time.
