The Book that Made Me: Stephen King’s “On Writing”
In the fall of 1994, I quit Stephen King cold turkey. Mid-book, I threw up my hands (and the book) in frustration. “That’s it!

REVIEW of Stephen King’s GHOST BROTHERS OF DARKLAND COUNTY
Full disclosure: I’m a huge Stephen King fan. Not only am I a big fan of King, I also really dig John Mellencamp. Add the two of them together, throw in a little T. Bone Burnett, music director of such iconic soundtracks as O, Brother Where Art Thou? and The Big Lebowski, and baby, you […]

THE BOOK THAT MADE ME: Stephen King’s “On Writing”
I wrote an article for The Ginger Nuts of Horror about my falling out with Stephen King, and how his memoir, On Writing, renewed my love affair with reading and writing fiction. Here’s an excerpt: If I haven’t made it painfully obvious, Stephen King is my biggest influence. Before our breakup, I gleefully plagiarized his short stories “Battlefield” and […]
