No matter what Stephen King writes,
he’ll always be a ‘horror writer’. An old
woman once came up to him in a store
and said, ‘I know who you are. You’re the
horror writer. I don’t read anything that
you do… I just like things more genuine,
like that Shawshank Redemption.’ When
he told her he’d written that, too, she
said, ‘No you didn’t,’ and walked away.
