How good is legendary author Stephen King? So good that the rights to bring his works of fiction to the big screen get snapped up before the book has a chance to be released. That's pretty friggin' good. Next on tap for Hollywood... Joyland!

Around these parts when prolific horror author Stephen King talks, we listen, and believe you me this is something that you cats are going to want to hear about!
