    Default The Long Boy

    It watches you from mirrors and the surface of glass objects! It "marks" you and bides it's time...waiting for the right moment to fulfill its unspoken promise! It is quite possibly one of the most frightening creatures that Stephen King has ever created! I'm scared of the Long Boy! Thoughts?

    Isn't that from Liseys Story? Not Bag of Bones...

    Unless you've got some connection to Bag of Bones, this is the wrong thread for the Long Boy. Try Lisey's Story.

    The Long Boy with the piebald side- yeah. That's pretty nasty stuff.

    I think the worst part of your statement is the inference that mirrors and the surfaces of all/any glass objects are actually portals to another world.
    Worlds where the boogeymen watch us.

    Can they cross over and get us?
    Think that one over when you're trying to get to sleep tonight!

    Long days and pleasant nights.

    Yes, it seems pretty scary...but what is it? I wondered the whole time I was reading that book (wait a minute - we're talking about Bag of Bones? I haven't read that, but the Long Boy showed up in Lisey's Story. which I DID read. Are the two Long Boys the same?). I imagined a HUGE worm type thing, but I'm sure it's not reallly that. I suppose it would help if I knew what the word "piebald" meant...

    This is from Dictionary.com

    Piebald:

    having patches of black and white or of other colors; parti-colored.

    yeah, you betcha,kevinrodgers90. good name. had a brother named kevin roger. things happen.

    yeah, long boy! and the mirror connection. nice catch. now there's a new way of looking at the long boy, what with the mirror thingie. i guess the biggest obstacle to whatever if the face staring back in the mirror, nessy paw? don't you hate that, that feeling that comes over you when you look at your reflection, self-awareness or something. spooky, anyway. me.

    piebald. think about it, like something not right. there's piebald deer. motley white spots on them. a conversation piece at the local sportsman's club. didya get a picture of the piebald on your scouting camera?

    seems like in bones, there's another image, maybe some kind of bear imagery, something crashing through the woods, somewhere there in the story, but yeah, mirrors. nice catch, thanks for the post.

    I had to look it up. "Spotted or blotched, especially of black and white".

    Wrong book, dude. Lisey's Story is where we meet the Long Boy. Unless I really missed something in BOB.
