"My childhood was pretty ordinary, except from a very early age I wanted to be scared...there was a radio program at the time called Dimension X, and my mother didn't want me to listen to that because she felt it was too scary for me, so I would creep out of bed and go to the bedroom door and crack it open. And she loved it, so apparently, I got it from her, but I would listen at the door and then when the program was over, I'd go back to bed and quake." -Stephen King
Young adults will covet this comprehensive yet accessible reference to their favorite horror author.
