Referring to himself – somewhat sarcastically – as “America’s Boogeyman,” King has long cemented himself in the firmament of American pop culture as that guy who writes scary books that turn into scary movies.  But that’s not the whole story, as the popularity of King stories “The Shawshank Redemption,” “Delores Claiborne” and “Stand by Me” have proven.  Please sign up in advance to reserve your seat for this program.
