    I enjoyed reading "The Old Man and the Hill." A simplistic tale but it has a good moral. It's great that authors like McCammon and Rowling haven't capitulated to the mob mentality like so many some...

    My guess is that King thinks he is doing a good deed for a small publisher with whom he has had a working relationship and has no idea of the widespread customer problems. There is absolutely no...

    Paul and Suntup are the best thing going but did I read correctly that the 16-page lettered Matheson short story was going for $1K? If so, I might have to reassess Biden's "shrinkflation" which I...

    Even with low expectations this one is bad. Agent Mulder is wildly out of place. The movie is not only terrible but boring. It's not the worst SK movie in history but it is stupid. Unfortunate,...

    Toronto. I think this was Oct. 24, 2013. They handed out presigned copies of Dr. Sleep. And then you were allowed to go through the line after the event. Unreal. I got him to sign Christine and...

    Same here. When I first came across his books, I couldn't believe he had been writing for so long and I had never heard of him. His career is comparable to Stephen King in terms of longevity and...

    Nice to see McCammon getting the Suntup treatment. Also great that he is signing the Classic edition. I need to go back and read that one again. It's been a long time.

    The Sewickley PA event was on June 8, 2016. By some miracle I still have a ticket. The best that I can remember it was a random signed handout of End of Watch. Got one out of two signed.

    11.22.63 is probably the last of the great King books. All the more so because it accepts the fact that Oswald assassinated JFK and does not entertain fake conspiracy theories to promote the...

    Goldsboro has signed copies of "Julia" the 1984-related novel. A pretty good book and nice association to the Orwell classic.
