I've been a huge horror fan/heavy reader since as far back as I can remember. I've seriously collected Joe Hill for a long, long time. I never liked King. I dismissed Carrie, The Shining & others (in 7th grade mind you, I'm 37 now) as boring and uneventful. My best friend of 30 years however, raved about him like a lunatic. She has read everything. At least twice. One day I had enough. I picked up a copy of Skeleton Crew for $1 and said to myself, "I'll show her." Imagined all the things I would say. The sweet taste of victory, etc...
I've been eating crow ever since. I turned into the raving lunatic after reading The Long Walk and my bookshelves gained some serious weight! Without this website I don't think it would have been possible. THANK YOU so very much, everyone! I just preordered the Stephen King grab bag from Cemetery Dance.
Curiosity got the best of me (I usually just stick with special editions when I can afford them).
Also, if anyone could help me out here: The best friend I referred to above lives in the UK. I've set aside space where I've collected 1st ed books for her as well but can't afford the postage! Both UPS and USPS quoted me almost $300 for a mere 10 pounds of weight. Any knowledge or ideas I would greatly appreciate
