10 Insane And Bizarre Theories About Stephen King
Author, actor, mind-controller, murderer?
Stephen King is quite rightly known as the greatest horror writer of his generation. Since the publication of Carrie in 1974, his books have never been out of print, which is a rarity for any author and he notes that his key to writing a critically acclaimed novel is that Good books dont give up all their secrets at once. The same can be said of great writers, but that inevitably breeds intrigue.
Because King is notoriously vague and somewhat fleeting, he is also one of the most talked about authors in the world, which does mean that there are bound to be people out there who will cook up some truly bizarre rumours to fill in the gaps.
One of the most popular rumours is that Stephen King does not sign autographs due to superstition, if he is sent one of his books by a fan he will burn it and return the ashes. This rumour is completely false, as made clear by his official website. King does hate the idea of celebrity but will still put pen to page at book signings. Unfortunately, the official website can not give comment on every rumour and tall tale that is spun about the author as there simply isn't enough free time to get through the vast amount they would have to get through.
Luckily, other people can address them on their behalf...
