    Default New, with an odd question

    I am new here, fantastic site, love it. I used to read tons of King years ago, i think i overdid it then. Recently I got back into him via On Writing and Everythings Eventual. I joined here because I figured it would be a good place to get feedback and maybe answers to odd questions I always have regarding Kings work, mostly odd visual things that stay with me years after reading them, SK is oddly effective in creating these with me, slight odd things that stay with me


    i got an odd question, id love any response to: On the Wikipedia bio of SK the this is said :

    While browsing through an attic with his elder brother, King uncovered a paperback version of an H. P. Lovecraft collection of short stories that had belonged to his father. The cover art—an illustration of a monster hiding within the recesses of a hell-like cavern beneath a tombstone—was, he writes,
    "The moment of my life when the dowsing rod suddenly went down hard...as far as I was concerned, I was on my way."
    [edit]

    I have tried to find this to no result, any one got a pic or link to it???

    Not 100% sure, but try this: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/Fram.../917383815.jpg

    Looks like a match to me.

    We all float down here.
