	Riding the Bullet by Stephen King
		After bumming a ride from a foul smelling driver and, eventually, opting to walk instead of continue with said driver, Alan meets another driver by the name of George Staub, who just happens to share his name with that of a deceased man whose tombstone Alan came across while trekking on foot.
		It is within the first moments of this meeting that the story turns from a tale of a young man trying to reach his dying mother to that of a young man struggling with fear of the unknown.
		Riding the Bullet, while sticking to formula, remains a worthy read, keeping the reader in suspense until the last words drop from the page.

	Kev's Stephen King House of Riding the Bullet
		The term "riding the Bullet" refers to a ride in an amusement park in New Hampshire, the Bullet being an upside-down roller coaster that sends its passengers screaming into the air.
		Unfortunately, "Riding the Bullet" was a test case for Simon & Schuster, and all who are interested in the concept of e-books.
		Riding the Bullet, a story described by King as "a ghost story in the grand manner," will go directly to readers electronically, who will pay $2.50 for the 16,000-word story.

	[No title]
		In his introduction to "Everything's Eventual" Stephen King bemoans the fact that "Riding the Bullet" got a lot of attention just because it was the first e-book-only publication by a major author, but absolutely no attention based on the merits of the story itself.
		"Riding the Bullet" is a ghost story about a young guy who is hitchhiking home to visit his sick mother and gets picked up by a dead man driving a Ford Mustang.
		Riding the Bullet is a compact, entertaining short story.

	‘Riding the Bullet’ shoots blanks - AT THE MOVIES - MSNBC.com
		“Stephen King’s Riding the Bullet” is small-caliber stuff, a movie thin on plot and character and mostly shooting blanks when it comes to thrills and chills.
		“Riding the Bullet” is based on a short story King sold to readers by download over the Internet, the tale following a hitchhiker’s journey home along a desolate Maine road to visit his ailing mother.
		Overshadowing all his morbid preoccupations is Alan’s boyhood memory of an amusement park visit with his mother, and the fear of death that kept him from riding the Bullet, a clanking old roller-coaster.

	DVD Talk Review: Riding the Bullet
		Mick Garris, no stranger to Kings material, not only directed Bullet but he also wrote the screenplay and I agree with the quote from King on the cover, that this is one of the best films adapted from a King story.
		Riding the Bullet takes place mostly at night, and thankfully the transfer is very well put together here.
		Bullet is presented in it's original widescreen 1.85:1 ratio.

	Riding the Bullet
		I read the story "Riding the Bullet" when it was first offered as an e-book back in.
		Riding the Bullet tells the tale of death-obsessed college student Alan Parker, who gets a message that his mother has had a stroke and may be dying.
		He ruminates about their time together, and when he finally gets a ride, it turns out to be the opposite of the famous ghostly hitchhiker urban legend.

	dOc DVD Review: Stephen King's Riding the Bullet (2004)
		Riding The Bullet is the fifth work by the megapopular horror author he has tackled (including The Stand miniseries from 1994, as well as the upcoming treatment of Desperation), and with this one does what has proven difficult for other directors, which is to nail King's writing style and transform it accurately onto film.
		Riding the Bullet was one of King's shorter pieces, originally distributed as a downloadable e-book, and Garris does little to really pad the narrative, keeping much of the original structure intact.
		Riding the Bullet had originally been intended for theatrical release, but ended up premiering on the USA network.

	Monsters At Play: Riding The Bullet Review
		Riding The Bullet represents one of the shades of grey I mentioned earlier: sure, it's horror, but it's horror with a heart, where Alan, our protagonist (I wouldn't necessarily call this emotionally stunted lead a "hero"), faces fears and death on a voyage of self-discovery.
		Riding The Bullet is presented in its original 1.85:1 theatrical aspect ratio (even though it was quickly dumped out on the USA Network), and it looks great.
		According to King, Riding The Bullet is "the best of the independent films made from [his] work since Stand By Me." It's far from revolutionary, or even remarkable.

	Movie Review for Riding the Bullet
		Riding the Bullet does little to change that, coming across as something akin to a mediocre episode of "The Twilight Zone" with an extra bucket of money poured into it.
		Based on the Stephen King web novel of the same name, Riding the Bullet is a hitchhiking tale of terror that follows a disturbed young artist as he tries to get home to be with his ailing mother.
		Riding the Bullet is a fairly middle of the road fright film that treads dangerously close to being silly.

		It’s called Riding the Bullet, and in a nutshell it’s: Intense, Frightening, Bizarre, Crude, Amazing, Thought Provoking and possible PG 13 — parents beware.
		Riding the Bullet has a double meaning in King’s story.
		It’s a theme park ride, but it’s also a type of ride Alan Parker, as a college kid, took when left at a cemetery while hitchhiking through Maine in order to get back to his hometown to see his ill mother.

		Garris was then hired to adapt and direct Riding the Bullet for the big screen, and thus this script came into existence.

	Amazon.com: Riding the Bullet (Widescreen Edition): DVD: David Arquette,Jeff Ballard (II),Erika Christensen,Tony ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		A vintage Stephen King concept unfolds in Riding the Bullet: a college kid, circa 1970, must hitchhike a very long (and very dark) hundred miles to visit his hospitalized mother.
		Riding the Bullet is based on, the master of macabre, Stephen King’s first e-book and was directed by Mick Garris (The Stand).
		Stephen King's flair for good storytelling is absolutely missing in 'Riding the Bullet' directed by Mick Garris, who fared far better in TV's 'Shining' or 'Stand.' King's original novella has potential for sure, which includes serious matters, life and death.

	Riding the Bullet DVD Review - MovieWeb
		In the case of Stephen King’s Riding The Bullet, I allow for this confusion because overall I enjoyed the story and the way it was presented.
		Sure, there were some of those in Stephen King’s Riding The Bullet, but for the most part, as this story was set in the 1960s, it seemed to be trying to adhere to that type of film language.
		In Stephen King’s Riding The Bullet, these things are never far from the surface and in the end they are all this movie is really about.

	Riding the Bullet by Stephen King
		Simply put, "Riding the Bullet" is a powerful story, packing a considerable wallop in its 67 pages; for the record, it was ranked #77 out of 100 by King expert Stephen Spignesi in THE ESSENTIAL STEPHEN KING, which looks at King's entire canon--fiction and nonfiction.
		Drawing on his real-world experience of watching his mother die slowly of cancer, and tapping into that fear, he transmutes it into a palpable fear that intrudes in the world of the protagonist, a college student who gets the word that his mother is dying at a Maine hospital.
		He hitches a ride to the hospital, but the driver isn't what he seems.

	Stephen King Riding the Bullet
		I've never told anyone this story, and never thought I would -- not because I was afraid of being disbelieved, exactly, but because I was ashamed...and because it was mine.
		Riding the Bullet, the tale of a terrible encounter near a lonely graveyard, is, as the narrator points out, the kind of ghost story told around campfires.
		Riding the Bullet was originally published in March 2000 exclusively as an e-book and has now found its way to print and audio.

		Riding the Bullet is the latest adaptation of a Stephen King work.
		Although those were based on full-length novels, Riding the Bullet is based on a short story that was sold as an E-book.
		If that's not bad enough, Riding the Bullet turns preachy and sentimental in its final minutes, hoping to make some kind of profound emotional statement.

		The round pen is also the perfect place to work with troubled stock, and to work with any horse or mule's occasional issues of behavior and attitude, while keeping a safe distance.
		The Round Pen's second purpose is to teach and perfect all the skills and movements that are needed for precision riding.
		A natural culmination of Trail Safety and Riding classes is a venture into the backcountry.

	Riding the Bullet Movie Review - BLOODY-DISGUSTING.COM
		Riding the Bullet looks and feels like a Sci-Fi Channel original television film; Garris just can’t shake that TV sentiment.
		Riding the Bullet has a very classic “Stephen King” story appeal.
		Riding the Bullet is a sappy, cheesy, drawn out, contorted view of one young man’s deep-rooted depression and fear.

		The title, an allusion to a roller coaster called The Bullet, is an apt analogy for the story itself.
		Like an amusement park ride, you waits in line, you pays your money, and the ride is over far too soon.
		My main complaint with "Riding the Bullet" is with its format.

		RTB had put some faith in Garris working on Stephen King adaptions.
		Fear can take on many different forms, but the root of all this fear is based on the dread that lingers in the human soul.
		RIDING THE BULLET is more autobiographical than just the mortality play that rides through the film.
