Stephen King 101: The Man, the Myth, the Maine-iac
This week, we’re diving deep into the twisted, brilliant mind of the King of Horror himself: Stephen King. From Carrie (which almost ended up in the trash) to The Shining, Misery, and It, we’re exploring what makes a King book so unmistakably King. We share our first introductions to his work, favorite stories, and why his film adaptations are some of the best (and occasionally weirdest) out there. Long live the King!
