What do y'all think?

My gut says yes but I’m on mobile this holiday and I’d encourage you to compare with period sigs from
https://www.signedanddated.info/

Also, I don’t specialize on authenticating sigs so don’t take my vote as any more/less than other collectors out there

Thanks, Tomas ... the place I found it at says it's "not authentic". When I asked how they determined that, they said there were no pressure points that could be seen/felt on the other side of the page, so they thought it was signed by an auto-pen.

I don't trust it mostly because the first name looks like "Steve" to me and that site you referenced rarely if ever shows SK signing anything as "Steve".

Plus, the "Be well" part does not match anything like other inscriptions from SK. But the numbers in the date match examples from that site very well, so I'm torn ...

I would like to know what it is signed on as he only signed "Steve" to his friends. I have never known him to sign "Be well".

It's a UK edition of "Pet Semetary".

OK, I fixed the original post so you can see the questionable signature without having to click on a link.

I found some other examples from that site Tomas posted and I keep going back and forth ...

1. Waste Lands signature is one example where he wrote "Be Well"

2. B. Dalton Bookstore and Cujo are ones where his first name almost looks like "Steve"

The capital letter "B" doesn't really match in the one I've found, but the numbers in the date look very similar in other examples from that site.
