Dear Constant Reader...

75 books, 39,000 pages, 7,000,000 words (ish)…We fans have certainly earned our moniker of Constant Reader. My foray into the twisty maze of Mr. King’s mind was anointed upon me by my older brother when he passed his copy of Carrie on to me. I was far too young, but it was then that I stumbled headlong into the wondrous discovery that books could offer up worlds beyond my wildest imagination. No matter that I was a child then and not remotely so now, Stephen King still renders those worlds with each book he writes. To myself and other latchkey kids of the late seventies and early eighties he was our saviour and we owe him a debt that we couldn’t ever hope to repay. Not in this life, or any that may follow.
