Stephen King writes about REAL horror!

Here's the content of a SK e-mail today, looking for donations to Sara Gideon's campaign vs. Susan Collins:

I write horror novels for a living, so I feel I have some authority when I say what's happening in Washington right now is a nightmare.

Hi XXXX, I'm Stephen King.

You probably know me as the horror writer behind novels like Carrie, IT, and The Shining.

Since I write horror novels for a living, I feel I have some authority when I say what’s happening in Washington right now is an absolute nightmare.

Mitch McConnell and all his spineless Senate Republicans let Trump get away with whatever he wants.

Susan Collins is one of them — and as a Mainer myself, I’m sick of it. So I’m doing everything I can to help Democrat Sara Gideon defeat her this November.

To that end, I’m reaching out to ask you to make a donation to Sara’s campaign. This is really important.

So chip in now, even if it’s just a couple bucks. I know Sara could really use your help in this final stretch before election day.

I’ve been very vocal for a long time about needing to replace Senator Collins. Because every chance she gets, Senator Collins proves she cares more about what Mitch McConnell wants than what Mainers need here at home.

That’s why it’s so important that we replace her with a real leader like Sara Gideon, who is willing to put Mainers first.

We need Sara Gideon in the Senate. Period.

I hope you'll chip in to help make it happen.

Thanks for reading,

Stephen King

1. Finally, something Susan Collins should actually be concerned about.

2. LOVE him

although I have a love/hate relationship with his books - I read books to fall asleep which is not easy to do when your eyes are wide open with a sense of horror :O

love Stephen the citizen too - very thankful he is with us

3. He's wonderful!

This is really his time of year - he loves Halloween!

My youngest son attended college in Bangor, Maine, not far from SK's home. Each year at Halloween, King and his wife, Tabitha, would have the most wonderful Halloween surprises for the Trick or Treaters. It was basically an open party. His home is just as he is!

I did, however, come across this tidbit about the current state of Halloween at the King's:

According to his official website, he no longer hosts trick or treaters because “A few times and we had 600 or 800 — one time we had 1,400 people show up for candy and treats and it’s fun, it’s great to see everyone, but it wears everybody out and it plays hell with the law so we’re not doing that anymore.”

A great time had by all, but success sadly brought about its demise.

I understand and share your love/hate with his books. They're definitely not bedtime reading. Hmmm - might be time to re-read my favorite, Gerald's Game.

4. love Stephen King and his books never keep me from sleeping.

my husband thought I was weird when he first saw me reading Stephen King. Then he saw Shawshank Redemption and Green Mile. Stephen King is not scary to some of us, we know things will always work out.
