It's true! Stephen King wants your blood. The author of that vampire book -- his novels ooze blood, don't they? Now the secrets out -- what King really wants is your blood. You shouldn't be surprised! You did read Carrie, right? The whole thing was about blood. And finally we faithful constant readers get the word. . . Stephen King wants our blood.
Well, not personally. He wants you to donate blood. And he's doing more than just asking -- he's practically bribing! (FYI: I really like this story)
Stephen King is doing a public announcement for Suncoast Communities Blood Bank.
King's radio and television spots include this line, "“In 1999 people I had never met helped save my life. Blood donors. I’m a blood donor now, and I give as often as I can at Suncoast Communities Blood Bank.”
After he taped the public announcement, he stuck around and signed copies of the staffs Stephen King books. Now, get this. . .
"Several staffers planned to donate their copies to the blood bank to award to a few lucky blood donors. When King learned of this, the next day he sent over a dozen autographed books, including some rare boxed editions signed by the illustrator as well."That's awesome! Anyone donating to the blood drive will be eligible to win a hard-bound, autographed copy of one of King’s books. No big deal? Well, check this out -- I spotted “The Shining” on the list. Not to shabby, eh! Also listed were “Full Dark, No Stars” and “Hearts in Atlantis.”
A complete list of official blood drives can be found at www.scbb.org or by calling (866) 97-BLOOD.
