@Bert, you’re right. His pseudonym is Joe Hill and his novel “Heart-Shaped Box” is an excellent read. Yes, it is named for the song from Nirvana.

Favorite book by the author?

Personally, The Talisman, followed by The Stand (uncut version of course.

Granted after a while, his writing did go down hill, and I couldn’t even finish some of them. Glad I used the library to find out…

That article by J.W. was one of the worst things I’ve ever tried to read. What a hack.

That is all.

Being a true King fan, I already knew a lot of this stuff — but it was still interesting. If you ever have a chance to see the Rock Bottom Remainders, GO!! It’s a great time. They pretty much suck, but it’s a blast, and the money goes to literary charities. I went a couple years ago in Detroit on Halloween, mostly to see King, but (boohoo) he wasn’t playing that night–still fun, though!!

Growing up in Maine, its almost a requirement to love Stephen King. At the very least, everyone respects his charity, as his name is listed as a major donor for a lot of wonderful non-profits in the state. I do love his writing, and I get to impress people by telling them that my aunt and he went to school together. The couple of times I have met him he has been wonderful and witty. The state of Maine is lucky to have such a well known person drumming up interest in the state through his work!

I met the fabulous Mr. King several years ago, before his accident. I kind of stalked him at the NPR building (where I worked) until he finished his interview. He gave me a huge hug and told me he loved me too when I professed my love for him. He signed an old book I found laying in my desk drawer and was a really awesome guy. I expected nothing less from my favorite author. He is a true King!!

I also agree with the comments on the article about the house. I had to stop reading before I was half way through. I was disappointed there was only three pictures of the house. I was expecting more than why the guy didn’t like Stephen King.
Loved the Q10 on King! Good job!

Recaptcha : juana loiter – sounds like a proposition…

I read the absolutely wonderful Stephen King biography, “Haunted Heart” by Lisa Rogak, even though I’ve never been a big fan of his work. I totally recommend it to anyone interested in this unusual man. Also, his son writes under the name Joe Hill and is pretty good on his own right.

As an avid King fan, I really enjoyed this article. And though I want to see the article about his house, apparently it isn’t worth it! Thanks!!
