Stephen King: American Icon

Horror maven that I am marketed to be, I could not resist sharing this information with you. According to the Sunday newspaper insert magazine, USA Weekend, Stephen King is an American Icon.

I am not going to argue with that. The man knows how to write a great story, and scare the heck out of us in the process. More than 350 million paying customers cannot be wrong.

Thank you to USA Weekend for acknowledging a popular fiction author as important enough to be given "icon" status. And a second thank you for not picking James Patterson.
