Stephen King's Maine: A History & Guide - Sharon Kitchens

Descriere Stephen King's Maine: A History & Guide - Sharon Kitchens

\nMuch of Western Maine reads like a Stephen King novel. \n \nThe dense dark woods and backcountry ponds. The century-old houses with gravel driveways and immense flower gardens, acres of farmland miles from a highway. Serpentine country roads dotted with farmstands, and picturesque main streets lined with battered pickups. Places where-especially during the dark and rainy days of October and November--things can get downright spooky. \n \nAuthor Sharon Kitchens identifies the locations that serve as the basis for King's fictional towns of Castle Rock, Jerusalem's Lot, Derry, and Haven. Drawing on historical materials and conversations with locals and people who know King, the author sheds light on daily life in places that would become the settings for Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Dead Zone, Cujo, IT, and 11/22/63.\n \n \nMuch of Western Maine reads like a Stephen King novel. \n \nThe dense dark woods and backcountry ponds.
