13 Things You Should Never Say To A Stephen King Fan

Shall we buy a Saint Bernard?

BIG SPOILER ALERT. You might be on the train on your way to work, or absorbed in your weekly grocery shopping. You and your friends might be queuing to go on a theme park ride, or even simply walking your dog in the park. Suddenly you have the funniest feeling that something isn€™t quite right. You glance around, see nothing strange, and shake the feeling off. You don€™t realise it, but there€™s one of them near you. Skirting the hedges of the grass, sat in the seat on the train opposite you, screaming wildly as you go on a loop-the-loop. They€™re everywhere, and you can€™t escape them. We are the Stephen King fans who have supported our favourite author through years of imaginative and compelling story writing. We are the people who cry with joy whenever Amazon releases the pre-order option for his up-and-coming book. And we€™re the people who know that King suffers from triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13); that he couldn€™t join military service due to flat feet and high blood pressure; and that he once bought out an entire cinema screening of 28 Days Later because he absolutely adored it. We€™re a great species, and we€™ll talk about Stephen King with you for hours. But there are some things you probably just shouldn€™t say to us... because you might not know it, but we€™ve been asked it at least 48578 times before.

I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
