About this title

Synopsis

In 1989, George Beahm's "Stephen King Companion" appeared on the scene and became an instant hit with King fans. It was an orgy of King information, packed with interviews, essays, inside information, rare photographs, and tantalizing trivia. The "Companion" leaped onto the bestseller lists, was snapped up by the book clubs, and became known as an esential resource on King and his work.
