Stephen King is a best-selling author, screenwriter, columnist, film producer and director from Portland, Maine. Although best known for his genre novels focused on the supernatural and macabre, many of his later works, especially those written following a serious hit-and-run accident in 1999, abandon horror in favor of more mainstream themes.
On July 29th, The Dark Tower: The Fall of Gilead #3 went on sale online and in stores.

"The Box" critique: Kinda way out... It had a Sci-Fi/Stephen King/Alfred Hitchcock spin to it. I liked, but coulda shoulda waited for DVD.
