"In 1974, a young telekinetic named Carrie shocked the nation with her tale of vengeance in small-town high school. On November 11, 2008, a new book of stories will be pubhlished under the name Just After Sunset, sure to thrill readers. The writer of those, and more than 50 other works over the last 34 years, is my all-time favorite author. At one point the half-joke was told that if he writes it, a movie will be made from it. That makes him fair game for flick-a-brac, and thanks to Terri, who reminded me that the celebrity of the month doesn't *have* to be an actor, this week we get to talk about the master or horror himself, Stephen King."
