Sometimes they come back

What is "Sometimes they come back" about?

Well, I could tell you the story but I don't want to ruin the pleasure you might have reading it and discovering for yourself. In a nutshell, it's about something to happens to a boy that he must again revisit and settle as an adult. It's a good, creepy tale from the Night Shift collection of short stories.

it´s a great story. You should read it. Have you read it yet?

It's about how things we've done in the past, and things that were done to us, sometimes have a way of haunting us, and of how sometimes the world seem to be moving in a wheel, and nothing is really lost or forgotten.

the cyclic nature of evil. is evil cyclic? is cyclic a word? this story is very troubling! and i like the idea that jim norman takes action. not like he had much choice and his choice raises as many troubling questions as the problem it removes. and it brings back a question i had about jerusalem's lot. this story, like the first in the series, maybe even more so, is disturbing. it's like, great, now we get to worry about these long-dead bozos from way back when.

What a great book.

this story was AWESOME! i love how these troublesome teens just show up to torture a man that they once did before when he was young. there was just so much going on in the story to keep me reading, i loved it.

Was this story made into a TV movie? I vividly remember seeing a movie that reminded me of this story. There was Sometimes They Come Back and Sometimes They Come Back for More?

[CCAL]

yes it was made into a movie. I preferred the book, but enjoyed the movie. Some parts were a bit different but visually explained things easier that the written word might have......(yeah that was clear as mud,huh?) lol

This story really captivated me and I couldn't put the book down untill I finished the story!
And I annoyed my husband aLOT by yelling "Oh my god!" aloud when the boys come back to the classroom and Jim starts reconizing who they are
and so on.
It annoyed DH to the point of him taking the book and me having to literally sit on his head and MAKE him give it back to me...
But I was willing to make that sacrifice :biggrin2:

I've been seeing this movie in my netflix recommendations for weeks now and thought the description made it sound kind of lame. However, now that I've read the story I'll probably give the movie a chance, though having read reviews of it I'm not to hopeful. Can't believe they made it into a trilogy...I wonder if King had any say in that. I mean it's a decent idea but 3 movies would be beating it to death IMO.

Hey everyone. I liked this story a lot because, being an English teacher myself, I could totally relate to what the narrator says about classroom atmosphere, etc. I especially liked the part where he says how teachers are 'on-stage in front of the toughest audience in the world, and how they have more ulcers than any other profession, apart from maybe air-traffic controllers'... So insightful!

Just read this story yesterday. It's one of my favourites in the book. It really made you wonder how he was going to over come his demons.
