I read the article on-line from the New York Times that was posted recently. Stephen King has a red t-shirt and is holding a guitar. I assume this is his favourite guitar. It has little spiders on the frets and 'King' on one of them. I noticed he's also had a haircut. I take it that the photo is recent. Would anyone know if Stephen King likes the TV series from the 70's, Kolchak: the Night Stalker starring Darren McGavin and Simon Oakland. I was just watching the episode with Tom Skerritt.

In Danse Macabre, he says that he liked the Night Stalker movie quite a bit, and had affection for the TV series, though it became a "Monster of the Week" show (his phrase for it).

Hope that helps :)

...that is the pic, I'm just fuzzy on the provenance of the guitar...I know Marsha explained about it, but I just recollected off the top of me melon...
I thought she said they put those spiders on there without him asking for them? Something about how he doesn't actually like spiders? Moderator :umm:

Thanks, I've only read about the first fifty pages of Danse Macabre, so I'll have to read the rest of it.

Yes, that's the picture. So it's an old picture, eh?
