After getting my new card and browsing the Horror shelves for a happy blur of time, I settled on a book called Christine by some guy called Stephen King. A whole new collection of books was suddenly available to me, and I couldn’t wait to dive in. So, the first weekend after my 13 th birthday, I begged my parents to take me to the library so that I could get my adult library card. At times I’ve been so desperate that I’ve even read the Sweet Valley High and Babysitters Club books, but my heart was firmly with horror. I have devoured every Point Horror book available, as well as plenty of Christopher Pike and the Nightmares series.
I’ve read all of the books held in the children’s section of my local library, some of them more than once. I am a geek, and although I have friends, I love nothing more than to read. I am thirteen years old, wearing ugly glasses and probably uglier leggings. I’ll be looking at the recurring themes, the tricks he likes to use, the way he develops character and the way that his craft has evolved in the 44 years since Carrie was first published. I will be reading all of Stephen King’s books in order of publication (with the exception of The Dark Tower series which I will read together, at the end of this adventure) and writing a review of each.
