A Review on Liljas-Library.com - HERE
A Spanish Interview on INSOMNIA - HERE
In my opinion, most of Mr. King's works indeed have elements of fear and horror and are brilliantly conceived, such as my favorite works, IT & Misery ... what separates 'My Pretty Pony' is that the fear is more real, yet more silent.
The ultimate fear in all of us, still unearthed (I believe) - is of aging and dying. This story does not require tricks or scares, it requires a philosophical outlook. I urge you to ask yourself the questions; in what process does time move in my life & does it seem to differ in tempo as I grow older.
Enjoy the brilliant performance of Paul Marin as the simple yet wisely introspective grandfather, sharing his wisdom with you .. the audience.
Artistic Blessings,
