What does a California kid know about Maine? Well, nothing, actually. See, I've been totally messed up by Stephen by a place called: "Stephen King's Maine."
I, too, am a California kid, and I actually drove to Maine to do a full on tour of the state because I'd 'seen' so much of it through Stephen King's words. Sure, things weren't always as described, but it was still a wonderful place to visit and enjoy, and I even got to see a little piece of a Stephen King movie being filmed! It was Oct. of '95 and they were filming the brief carnival scene from "Thinner". Even without the movie being filmed, I highly recommend a few days of driving through the state to see all its beauty!
In short, readers both familiar and unfamiliar with Stephen King's novels will find a motherlode of interesting information inside the pages of Brighton David Gardner's insightful and illuminating treatise.
I can't recommend it enough, so be sure to get it either for your Kindle or e-Reader of choice, or buy the print version because it's easily worth twice the cover price.
