It will be a scary evening in Brooklyn Heights when world-famous master of horror Stephen King comes to St. Francis College on Tuesday, April 21, at 7 p.m. to take part in a roundtable discussion at Founders Hall, 180 Remsen St.

Joining King will be his son, Owen King, as well as fellow horror novelist Peter Straub and Straub’s daughter Emma Straub, also a novelist. The discussion is co-sponsored by BookCourt, 163 Court St., Cobble Hill.

Stephen King, originally from Portland, Maine, began his career as a high school teacher who occasionally wrote short stories. In 1973, his first horror novel, “Carrie,” was published. Since then, he has published more than 50 books, many of which have been made into motion pictures, and has become one of the world’s most successful writers.

Peter Straub, who also specializes in horror fiction, is the author of 17 novels. They include “Ghost Story,” “Koko,” “Mr. X,” “In the Night Room” and two collaborations with Stephen King, “The Talisman” and “Black House.” He has won the British Fantasy Award, eight Bram Stoker Awards, two International Horror Guild Awards and three World Fantasy Awards.

Owen King is the author of “We’re All in This Together: A Novella and Stories” and co-editor of the fiction anthology “Who Can Save Us Now?” His short fiction has appeared in several publications.

Emma Straub, who lives in Brooklyn, is the author of “The Vacationers” and “Laura Lamont’s Life in Pictures” as well as the short-story collection “Other People We Married.” Her fiction and nonfiction have been published in “Vogue,” “New York Magazine, “The New York Times” and other well-known outlets.

[Kingfan24]

Wonder if there's a signing. Doesn't seem like it.

[Jay127]

Yeah tickets are free. I live nearby and just picked up a couple. Even if there's no signing, looks like a cool event.

[Papaseraphim]

Just got two tickets. I hope there's a signing, but I'll enjoy it either way!

[Randall Flagg]

Should be cool. The center seats ~300. Not sure how much overflow there is to watch via video feed.

[Randall Flagg]

PABLO IS STEPHEN KING. Pablo you are a valuable resource to this site! I have concluded that you are SK or his Brother IN Law! I was just talking to another member here last night, your ability to scope out events like this is super human! Thanks for the valuable tip and sharing it so quickly!

[Randall Flagg]

I'm shocked at the member blasé. It's East Coast (one month from now when presumably there is little or no snow), the tickets are free...
Please explain.

I'm thinking burn-out from Bradenton?

[Jay127]

I'm excited about it. I contacted the event organizer, and he said they weren't certain if the authors would be signing. So there's hope. And who knows, maybe we'll get some exclusive news on a 3rd Talisman book.

That and a million copies of signed Revivals on the planet..

This event is not tied to Revival.
If a person isn't excited by being in an intimate 300 seat venue with 2 King and 2 Straubs, then they are missing out.

I prefer king only and anywhere else but New York. Becca. and a few others where the only ones who did New York for revival. and only a few of us went to ny for dr sleep. I think it's location location location and the expense of NY. And the lack of details about event

Obviously can't speak for anyone but me, but I'm very excited!

[frik]

I am as well - and I'm not even attending!

[ELazansky]

Lots of things prevent me from going. A drive to Brooklyn on a weekday would be 2-3 hours each way, and I can't miss work. But more importantly, it is a school night and I need to take care of my kids. Just not that easy to get away mid-week.

I never implied I wasn't excited... I'm extremely excited about this venue.
As mentioned earlier, It will be interesting to hear if the Talisman trilogy will ever happen.

Me as well! Just can't make it logistically, but will be anxiously reading the posts of those attending!

I have a 4227.045 Miles (or 6802.769KM) excuse ... sometimes it really sucks not to be in the states more often..
