King Talks Rowling

Author Stephen King has given a new interview that will be released with USA Weekend next month. In the interview he talks about none other than J.K. Rowling (and Stephenie Meyer)! In the interview he says "I think that [my influence on Rowling] has some kind of formative influence the same way reading Richard Matheson had an influence on me, people always say to me, 'Well, what about H.P. Lovecraft?' And the thing was, you read Lovecraft when you were a kid but I never felt that he was speaking my language. It was chillier than my heart was, and when Matheson started to write about ordinary people and stuff, that was something that I wanted to do." To read the article about the interview click here!
