Customer Reviews

a must for the King fan

I love my King encyclopedia. It is a painstaking reference manual to every King character, story--including the astonishing ones Stephen King wrote when he was just a kid, and place mentioned in Kings works. Spignesi isn't just a cataloger however. His own writing shows wit and charm. You will enjoy reading his descriptions of King's body of work. I just wish Mr.Spignesi would do and updated version to include King's latter stories and novels.

Very informative for new writers.

I found this book to be helpful as I began my new career as an author. Ialso discovered that even best-selling authors can make blunders in their books, mistakes that I learned in my Writer's Coursein College..one of (5) Fatal Errors for Writers.
