The Best And Worst of Stephen King

So, I think everyone who’s ever inched close to this blog by now knows that I am a huge fan of Stephen King.

Read this Damn Author

Look, right, okay, I get it, I don’t actually write about writing very much on this blog (apart from to shamelessly plug my debut novel Rape Jokes in brackets constantly, buy it here). Apart from that time I recapped Carrie. Or the Harry Potter books. Or Fifty Shades. Or…
