The rugged landscapes of Boulder, Colorado provided a memorable setting for one of Stephen King’s most popular works, The Stand. Back in 1989, our friend, local Librarian Ed Rossman, traveled to Boulder with Stephen King’s permission to film a documentary relating scenes in the book to their settings. For this program, Rossman has incorporated photographs from that project and expanded upon his original premise to create a travelogue that showcases the natural beauty of Colorado and sheds light on the inspiration behind memorable scenes in The Stand, The Shining and Misery. Rossman will also take time to put King’s career into context for more casual readers and discuss the author’s current activities and upcoming releases.
