The Losers’ Club leaves Maine and heads to Flint City, Oklahoma, where a grisly murder demands the talents of Stephen King’s favorite cinephile sleuth Holly Gibney. Published in May of 2018, The Outsider is one of King’s more successful forays into the true crime genre, picking up where he left off with the Mr. Mercedes Trilogy.
It’s a story we covered in capsule form over half a decade ago, but today we’re giving it the true LC treatment with an official, full-length book episode. Join co-hosts Michael Roffman, Jenn Adams, Rachel Reeves, and Randall Colburn as they weigh in on the balance between true crime and the supernatural, debate whether Holly adds or detracts from said balance, and how the Trump and MeToo era may or may not have had an influence on the story.
Stream the episode below and return next week when the Losers revisit the 2020 HBO adaptation starring Cynthia Erivo, Jason Bateman, and Ben Mendohlson. For further adventures, join the Club over long days and pleasant nights via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. You can also unlock hundreds of hours of content in The Barrens (Patreon).
