Is the trap that Ohio sucks to live in or anything more specific?

Do Not Let Your Children Play In THe Corn.

That’s…that’s not what children of the corn is about.

Don't correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe that word is ever used in the short story, only the movie, SO THERE!

The cost of living in Ohio is very good. The housing market is a bit of a mess in general but definitely in Ohio. It's a seller's market that still hasn't recovered from the pandemic.

Unless they're talking about Children of the Corn (which is a short story, not a book) I don't know what King book they're referencing. And as a Grade A certified pedantic asshole SHORT STORIES DON'T COUNT.

[–] sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago

Adding to that; doesn't "Children.." take place in like Iowa or something? I can't think of a King book that takes place specifically in Ohio, but I also haven't really read his stuff the past decade

I was thinking Desperation but that was Nevada

I'm not a big fan of Stephen King but I love ass books. So conflicted.

Oh yeah, I love them thick and spread them... pages.

[–] Peruvia@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I'm confused, do you automatically get to be in posession of books that have ass pics in them once you live in Ohio? I'm moving there if that's the case lmao

I love how Ohio has become the go to meme state

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Meh, Ohio is for emo kids.

[–] itsnicodegallo@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No, Ohio is for lovers. 🖤

Ohio? Where the fuck is that, somewhere in Mexico?

He wrote many of his books in Bolivia/Colombia... in his nose.
