Horror has been frightfully good to Author Stephen King. He expects to earn about $2 million this year, mostly as a result of making people's flesh crawl. The number of his books in print (predominantly paperbacks) climbs toward 40 million. Indeed, his pot currently boileth over.

On one car trip to the hospital for a cobalt treatment, Tony had turned to him and said: "I'd rather crawl to the hospital than ride with you if you won't live in our house." Now the scalley cap is pulled down because Gerry is crying. Tony died shortly after his son won a second Golden Gloves, as a heavyweight.
