In an article for the Charlotte Sun titled "Stephen King makes an impression at Big Read kickoff", staff writer Pamela Staik gave this quick overview of the event:
.
King, the famed author of such chilling tales as "Carrie," "The Shining," "The Stand," "Misery" and "The Green Mile," prefers to give his nightmares life as he pens them into short stories and novels, pieces of modern-day horror that have thrilled readers for decades.
.
"One of the reasons that I write this stuff is because if you're nervous or if something has really scared you, you can turn it around and scare the hell out of someone else," he laughed, as he addressed a crowd of more than 400 Saturday at the Cultural Center of Charlotte County theater.
.
He was there as host of the kickoff for the Charlotte County Big Read — a six-week-long literary celebration meant to promote reading in the community. On Saturday, King spoke about reading, writing and the inspirations for his captivating stories.
