The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon: A Pop-Up Book (2004)
"Stephen King's award-winning, best-selling novel, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon , is stunningly told in this, the first pop-up book by the master of suspense. It is a fairy tale grimmer than Grimm, retold with intricate pop-ups and a breathtaking text. This is the ultimate must-have edition for Stephen King fans of all ages."
In 1999 King revealed that he is suffering from Macular Degeneration which is incurable, and in his own word he could go blind "at any time".
"I recognize terror as the finest emotion and so I will try to terrorize the reader. But if I find that I cannot terrify, I will try to horrify, and if I find that I cannot horrify, I'll go for the gross-out. I'm not proud."...Stephen King (Therefore the many prolific descriptions of SNOT in all it's glorious forms!!)
The Dark Tower
The Dark Tower series is the most popular book collection Stephen King has ever written and is fast turning into the most talked about epic journey.
It shares technological and social characteristics with the American Old West, as well as magical powers and relics of a highly advanced, but long vanished, society. As the book says, "the world had moved on". Stephen King fans were thrilled when the last episode finally came out.
