For the month of July, we'll be diving straight into a coming-of-age summer with Stephen King's 1982 novella, "The Body," which was published in his four-novella collection, Different Seasons. Rob Reiner popularized the story with his 1986 adaptation titled Stand by Me, which has become cemented in the American film canon as a timeless love letter to childhood and friendship. Read the novella, watch the film, and join us virtually for a fun, nostalgia-filled conversation!
