Post your questions for Stephen King
It's hard to know where to even start when it comes to asking him about his life and career. Which is why we're giving you plenty of time to get in your questions as King prepares to take the reader interview chair for an expanded edition ahead of the release of The Life of Chuck starring Tom Hiddleston, based on his 2020 novella. His only notes so far are: no 'lemon' questions, such as where he gets his ideas from. But where does he get his ideas from? How does he feel about being one of the bestselling US authors of all time? Does he really suffer from triskaidekaphobia – an irrational fear of the number 13? And does he really hate interviews as much as he says he does?
Please pose your questions in the comments below by 6pm on Monday 4 August and we'll print his best replies in G2 and online later that month – but not on the 13th, we promise, Stephen.

40 Acres review – Danielle Deadwyler is driving heart of post-apocalyptic home-invasion horror
In the event of an apocalypse, the world will no doubt divide into two groups: people intent on survival no matter what, and those of us who take the view living will only prolong the suffering and get it over with. Hailey Freeman in 40 Acres is the former – it's in the genes. Her great-great-grandfather was a slave who escaped a plantation and made his way to Canada to farm. Now the land is Hailey's and helpfully she's ex-military, which comes in handy fending off cannibalistic marauders in a post-apocalyptic hellscape. Even better, she's played by Danielle Deadwyler, the actor inexplicably snubbed for an Oscar nomination for Till. Set 14 years after a fungal pandemic wiped out the planet's animal life, 40 Acres is essentially a home invasion thriller. Unfortunately, not everyone has gone vegan; gnarly cannibals prowl in packs, human body parts dangling from their necks as trophies. On the farm, Hailey (Deadwyler) lives with her partner Galen (Michael Greyeyes), his daughter, their kids, and her teenage son Manny (Kataem O'Connor). Galen is of Indigenous heritage, and is teaching the family Cree. To survive, Hailey rules her household like a general: iron discipline and daily push-ups. Deadwyler plays it with grit and feeling; her beautifully expressive eyes convey Hailey's strength but at the same time the constant terror. Deadwyler's performance is the driving force here. Without her, the audience's attention might drift to the predictability of a plotline that hinges on Manny's adolescent rebellion against his mum. There's also the matter of some unnecessary flashbacks filling in backstories, leaking out tension. Which is a shame because first time feature director RT Thorne skilfully executes the cat-and-mouse games between the farm and the invaders, resulting in some uncomfortably suspenseful moments. And there are really interesting ideas, too, about this new horror in the context of Black and Indigenous experiences: displacement, generational trauma and survival. 40 Acres is in UK cinemas and on MGM+ from 1 August.

That's Julius Rock." With another echoing: "That wasn't Terry at the table… that was Julius." Terry shares five children with his wife Rebecca King and the pair have been married for over 30 years. Terry and Rebecca met in a local Michigan church in the 1980s. At the time, Rebecca was a music minister at the church while Terry was a student at Western Michigan University.
