If a King of Horror was crowned in this century, the noble title would have to be bestowed on author Stephen King. He has written some of the most compelling and disturbing horror novels of my generation.
My personal favourite story of King's is The Long Walk but who could ever forget such classic novels as It, The Stand, Carrie, The Shining, The Dead Zone, Christine, Cujo, Needful Things and Misery.
King's latestest effort, The Plant, is available by download on the internet only. King asks that you pay on the honours system - $1 per instalment. Click on the graphic to your left for more information.
