Stephen King’s Popularity Is Still Scary
Maybe rock-star treatment for a novelist is proof that the publishing industry isn’t dead yet.
We were happy to discover this photograph in the German magazine Stern, which shows Stephen King being greeted by 3,000 fans in Hamburg. At a similarly camera-happy event, in Munich, he had apparently joked, “Do they realize that I’m not Justin Beiber?” King — the subject of a profile by Susan Dominus in The Times Magazine this past summer — was in Germany to promote his book “Doctor Sleep.”
