Jenn's King Character Corner: Holly Gibney
Added 2023-09-27 20:45:39 +0000 UTCKing’s Dominion is a vast tapestry with many connecting threads. Stephen King loves to revisit his favorite characters, and we love to talk about them. In order to tackle the sprawling worlds of the King catalogue, co-host Jenn Adams is embarking on a deep dive on some of our favorite characters, be it the villains, the heroes, the couples, the clowns, and everyone in between. Both on the page and on the screen. Constant Listeners, you've just been invited to Jenn's King Character Corner.
When we first met Holly Gibney in the pages of Mr. Mercedes, we figured this skittish woman with a domineering mother would fade back into the tapestry of King’s Dominion with little to no fanfare. Nine years, six novels, and one novella later, she’s become a staple of the Master of Horror’s later works. In the most expansive Character Corner yet, your fearless Losers Jenn Adams, Rachel Reeves, and Dan Caffrey go down the Holly Hole with a deep dive into one of Stephen King’s favorite heroines.
Together, they’ll discuss Holly’s humble beginnings, her impressive powers, her relationship with Bill Hodges, and her ever-growing trove of Holly-isms. Throw away your diddly-dang cigarettes, rev up your DVD burner, and don’t forget to take your Lexapro as the Loser’s wade into the wide world of Holly Gibney.
Specifically...
- Mr. Mercedes (2014)
- Finders Keepers (2015)
- End of Watch (2016)
- The Outsider (2018)
- If It Bleeds (2020)
- Holly (2023)
- The Outsider (2020)
- Mr. Mercedes (2017-2019)

Like most I have warmed on Holly since the Hodges trilogy wrapped, but it wasn't until listening to the passages Jenn pulled that I realized just how much I relate to her behavior and anxieties... and that made me kind of sad, since it seems like everyone HATES her. Made me think, huh, are the things I have in common with her the things people hate her for? Atleast I actually swear 😅
