What would you give SK for his birthday?

[Gerald]

They're asking this for a contest here, but nothing comes to mind immedeately. Obviously something spooky, but don't know what...

It's a fun question anyway, so anyone can give me ideas?

...a simple "thank you" would probably be a perfect gesture, that or dog treats for the Corgi in Residence....

 

[prufrock21]

I have commissioned something I hope he will like.

 

[DiO'Bolic]

A book cake, but made with his titles. Just don't make it carrot cake... That would be an abomination.

 

[Spideyman]

A day of calm, celebration and wishes come true with family and good friends. Just to be a husband, father, and grandpa (and forever doggie-dad to Molly).

I'm thinking perhaps a bouquet of 70 black roses (perhaps from the House of Flowers in Central Falls, Rhode Island). The hard thing with these kind of contest questions is you never know what they will see as original.

Where's the contest?

 

[Tery]

I would do a calligraphy piece of a quote from one of his books.

Nice. How about the beginning of Dark Tower 1?

Bespreking + Winactie: The Dark Tower (Nicolaj Arcel, 2017)

It's Dutch though. You can win a copy of The Gunslinger in Dutch (I assume it's the revised version, I only have the original one) and two tickets to the film.
In fact I had already won a ticket for the film, but it was in a specific cinema that would cost me more to go there, than to see it locally. But I suppose these tickets go for everywhere it plays, it doesn't specify a certain cinema.

Maybe some classic vinyl.

A jug of fresh formaldehyde for that heart of a 10 year old boy he keeps on his desk. I'm sure it needs refreshing by now. And a tie, just a normal one, no fancy designs or brand names.

 

[kingricefan]

A time machine so that he could go back to that awful day when he was hit by that van so he could make sure he was walking on the opposite side of the road.

Good call.

I might use that one, and throw in the roses as well.

 

[Maddie]

Something creepy but sweet like maybe, a portrait of his house with himself and Tabitha, and the kids and grandkids and the evil Molly all peeking mysteriously from all of the windows....

 

[Doc Creed]

A copy of Adam magazine containing the elusive story "The Float" that King later rewrote as "The Raft". In Skeleton Crew King relays the story of how he received payment from this magazine for the story but was never successful in locating this particular issue. Any aficionados know what became of this?

...let me check my centerfolds and get back with you....

You win for the best answer!!!

If I had the power: another 70 years of good health.
