Some people are very good at changing their dialect on the spot, maybe King is?Speaking of the main accent. I do not hear it when Stephen king is doing an interview on tv or a recording. Did he train himself to not talk alike a person from Maine? I hear it in tabby. Oddish.

Yes indeed, perhaps.Perhaps
Not everyone in Maine talks like the stereotypical accent that is expected of them by those who live from away. For example, there are few Mainers who say ayuh anymore but it seems that everyone thinks that's common. A lot has to do with what part of Maine you're from, how your family spoke, and how thick you want to lay it on. I was born here and have now lived here the majority of my life but I couldn't talk in a "Maine accent" if you paid me a million dollars. My family doesn't speak like that so I never have either. That may be the case with Steve as well.Speaking of the main accent. I do not hear it when Stephen king is doing an interview on tv or a recording.

Here's the link to a sample of the audiobook for Drunken Fireworks. This is the typical Down East accent that Larry O mentions above and what a lot of people think all people from Maine talk likeSoooo, i'm far away but i have no Idea, what a Maine Accent should sound like (I have no Idea about US Accents at all)
