...yeppurs....It's too bad the book wasn't authorized by King. It could have been even better.

...all copies to the woodchippah!.....Don't let Marsha see this thread.......
Hope it's not as bad as Haunted Heart by Lisa Rogat. She tries her damnedest to make King sound like a jerk, and succeeds only in making herself sound like a money-hungry gossip hound. And fulla factual errors, like calling the old monster mag Castle of Frankenstein a comic book. If she woulda read Danse Macabre, she woulda known better.
Shoddy stuff.

No, it's a good and fair assessment, written as a fan of King more than not. Well researched, well written, very readable. I enjoyed it. Haven't read the one above, and probably never wll.Hope it's not as bad as Haunted Heart by Lisa Rogat.

Oh I must have misread the comments. And I am not familiar with Lisa Rogat's books.Geminii, I think most of the comments were favorable regarding Beahm's book. The negative ones were for Lisa Rogat's book.
