Reading a history of the King
The absolute Master of Horror
His writing can take you away to worlds
Of real and fictional nightmares
His stories make us turn an eye
To see our inner monsters
Carrie deals with her bullies
Cujo is a rabid dog
'Salem's Lot is a vampire town
Christine is a possessed, evil car
The Shining takes us to a haunted hotel
Where topiary bushes run astray
Apt Pupil and Mr. Mercedes
Introduce us to the minds of psychopaths
The Dark Half shows our doppleganger
Our purely evil twin built in
His characters are so realistic
You feel the bumps in the night are real
Seek him out and give him a read
Then turn off the lights ~ if you dare
