Stephen King

Remember the time Fox News pissed on Kurt Vonnegut's grave? The network upheld its belles lettres legacy the other night as Greg Gutfeld and his Red Eye cohorts branded Stephen King "partially brain-dead" and "a raging alcoholic," along with cracking jokes about running him over in a van, because they didn't like the way he phrased his exhortation to teens to read more.

Puleese.

An interview with Thriller Novelist Michael Marshall -- author of "The Straw Men" and "The Intruders." He talks about why thrillers are the only genre for him and his weird relationship with Stephen King.

King collectors will pay a pretty penny for his volumes. Here’s a list of the ten most expensive Stephen King novels ever sold at AbeBooks, including an $8000 leather bound edition of The Regulators complete with Winchester bullets.

Book store staff in Alice Springs, Australia, mistook Stephen King for a vandal when he came into the store and started signing his own books. Perhaps King is overestimating his own fame...

Here’s a smile. Stephen King was mistaken for a vandal when he was caught secretly signing his books in an Australian bookstore. While the unknowing clerk ran to get the manager to deal with the strange fellow, King disappeared. Ha! I love it!

Here's a book just out set in the very real village of Cambria on the California Central Coast. The haunting takes place in a fictional bed & breakfast. Lots of local spots in the popular tourist town near Hearst Castle are mentioned. Chapter One is online so get a head-start on this scary, funny & sexy novel by local author Richard Taylor. It's being called "catnip for Stephen King fans"!

Unearthed by one of Stephen King’s assistants, Blaze has been reworked by the author, but with its Dickensian overtones and latent comic effect, it’s hard to say if this is worth a read. It will probably sell, though, considering who the author is.
