you?

STEPHEN KING
former UMO Student and Maine Campus-Columnist
and Author of
"CARRIE"
at the
UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE
"Carrie" has been bought by
publishers in Japan, England, France & Spain.
Several film companies have already expressed strong interest.
A novel about the other world in this
world. It is the chilling story of a girl &
her strange power!

For Jim,
with a great deal of affection.
We went to the same school together.
I think we are still going.
And I hope you'll write and tell
me what you think. I worked hard
on this.
—Steve

For Clara, with best wishes
from myself and your son — and
have a Merry Christmas!
Stephen King
November 20, 1975.

For Bob Bloch, with best wishes
and much admiration —
I haven't been writing because
I've been writing, if you take my
meaning — I lost the address to write
to and get your LP, and then found it again in this month's issue of
EQMM - so I'm sending for it
tomorrow with high hopes and antic-
ipation.
Hope you'll enjoy this story. It's
a great pleasure to be able to send it to you.
All best,
Steve King
January 9, 1977.

For Ann —
With love from
your husband Neville —
and best from me —
Stephen King

For Stuart David Schiff
whose magazine has
given me so much
pleasure — Whispers
forever!
Be well,
Stephen King

Mr. King has traveled from his home in the
woods of southwest Maine to New York City to kick
off a blitz publicity tour: scheduled are two days
each in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago and a
day in Milwaukee (where he has to conduct per-
sonal business but will fit in some press appear-
ances at the publisher's behest).
He's squeezed this newspaper interview in be-
tween a book-signing session at Brentano's and a
radio spot. He has the look of a man on the run.

For Vicki —
Thanks for showing
me around — and yeah,
you're right — New York looks better
from the back of a limosine —
Best,
Stephen King
(NYC pothole)

For Burt —
Hope you find something
to like here — and hope
all of yours have a happy
Christmas —
Steve King
And thanks for your help with
what's writ herein —
S.K.

For Father Jay Thorn —
Hope you'll enjoy this tale
of love and horror beyond
the end of the world —
Best, Stephen King

For Raeanne —
The Haitians believe that to
take a photograph is to steal
the sould of the subject — but having
met you, I'd say you have plenty of
sould of your own. Believe me, it was
a pleasure —

Happy New Year from the
cold country, and remember these words
of wisdom from David Allen Coe in 1983:
"I'd rather have a battle in front of
me than a frontal lobotomy." Don't
that just make you feel warm all over?
Best,
Stephen King

For Dave Smith and Family —
Good (if slightly belated) New
Year's wishes — be well in '83!

Stephen King
November 7, 1990

For Steve and Deborah Gould —
With lots of love to Ethan
and Jessie, as well. Steve, I know you
don't believe in the devil, but I'm sure
you do believe that, if there was such a
creature, he would undoubtedly ensnare
the souls of young boys by offering them
Brooklyn Dodgers baseball cards
cheap! Love you guys,
Stephen King

For Marc — with
best wishes from Jake,
Eddie, Susannah, Oy,
and, of course, Roland
of Gilead —

Horrific book signing
Vicki Howland of Bangor gets
a copy of "Nightmares and Dreamscapes"
autographed by author Stephen King
during a book signing at BookMarc's
in Bangor Wednesday. The line
stretched outside and down Central
Street as King signed
more than 200 books in two hours.

For Iowa Bob — Looking
forward to dinner; in the meantime, you
can count the hours with this. Thanks again
for supporting the Bangor Y!
