Hello - I am new to the board but not new to Mr.King my first copy of The Stand was published in hardcover in 1978.... Right now I am re-reading The Talisman in order to work up to Black House, which for some reason I seem to have skipped. Recently read Under the Dome - FANTASTIC!

I have just run across an article on the NPR site which names the "Top 100 Killer Thrillers" and SK has six titles in there so I thought it might be of interest to those here

Just popping in from Ireland. Huge King fan for many a year. Just re-read the dark Tower series & after It, Salems Lot & The Stand having just been shown on TV here getting ready to sit down with The Stand again

I am a newcomer's newcomer. Plus I am trying to find Mr. King's two short stories on cassettes. One, the late and great Frank Muller reading The Mist and The Ballard of the Flexible Bullet. I had those stories on cassettes years ago but when we moved from one state to another. My cassettes were heat damaged. I would love to get copies of those stories again. The stories are off the hook and Mr. Muller's voice was just wonderful. I miss him but the Lord needed him.

Hi everybody,been reading the board for quite awhile now and I've been reading SK even longer so I thought I would finally get signed up. Not sure how much I can add but I have read just about everything he's ever written and most of it two or three times so hopefully I can add something. Thanks for all the good posts I've read in the past.

Hi everyone......popped in to say this is a great forum! I've been reading SK's novels forever it seems. Thought I'd try to submit something to Steve's Kingdom, but am having a bit of difficulty. Have to snoop around for tips!

Hi all!! I am completely new to all message boards, this is the only one I have joined ever, but couldn't resist the chance to contribute to Stephen's Empire!! I have been a fan since I was in 7th grade, I picked up a copy of Pet Sematary and was immediately hooked! Anyway, thanks for the welcome, I have enjoyed browsing around the threads and hope to make many new friends! Special thank you to Haunted, who sent me a wonderful welcome picture, it made me smile!! Be talking to you!!

Hello there. I am new and have been waiting patiently for a few days so I can post.

I'm new to King. And by "new", I mean "just barely started reading on Tuesday". So I'm a pretty new newbie. I had been putting off reading King for a few years now, but when I realized that Tim Curry narrated a story in the audiobook version of Nightmares and Dreamscapes, I decided to take a listen. And I'm glad I did. Now I've read Rita Heyworth and the Shawshank Redemption, Misery (which is now one of my new favourites), and about two thirds of The Shining (I've already seen the movie, though), plus having listened to Suffer the Little Children, Crouch End, and Dolan's Cadillac (I really liked this story. It reminded me of Poe's The Cask of Amontillado) on tape. I'm right at this moment listening to The House on Maple Street.

So in less than a week, I'm an addict. That's ok. I didn't want to get any homework done, anyway.
