BIG DRIVER Part 1 | "Revenge Stories" (FULL DARK, NO STARS)

The Stephen Kingdom

REVENGE vs JUSTICE!

Welcome to BIG DRIVER, the second novella in Stephen King's FULL DARK, NO STARS collection. It's the story of a woman raped and left for dead who fights the odds and takes vengeance on her assaulter.

Because there's a lot to unpack here, we'll break down the novella into two parts. Part 1 will focus on Revenge Cinema through the lens of three movies King namedrops in the story: Jodie Foster's "THE BRAVE ONE," Charles Bronson's seminal 70's revenge flick "DEATH WISH," and the classic noir "KISS OF DEATH."

Many thanks to the voice actors who contributed their talents to this episode: Jack Scott as Terrence Rafferty, Kasey Sternberg as Irving Layton, and Felicia McNear as the Narrator.
