My mother's maiden name is King so I came a hair's breadth away from being called Stephen King myself. I hadn't read any of his books until a few years ago, probably because I was put off by the 'horror' tag, but his he sneaks the supernatural elements in so slyly you barely notice at first. I've read about 15 or so of his novels and I think my favourite by far is 'The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon'. It's wonderfully simple, young girl lost in the forest trying to survive, but he builds a fantastic amount of atmosphere.

That excellent, Stephen- great twinkle in the eye.
Aw, i'm a bit disappointed man; i was hoping for something 'bigger' from you this week, with it being your pick and all.
Don't get me wrong; that's a great portrait you did, i just guess i was hoping for an illustration of the story you mentioned, more than a drawing of the author.
Dec...is that cos you've never read any of the books so were hoping to find out what they were about through the medium of pictures?
Well I think this is great, always like it when you draw the grotesque gickery. Red paper is always a winner too.
Yeah I think its deadly man. Time for you to pick a theme Dec
I didn't pick this one Dec, it was Len I think! I picked Akira.
your King is awesome. But now I find myself looking forward to what you've got planned for Akira.
Oh, yer right man, it IS Len's pick.
My bad.
Don't think i'm gonna pick a theme Will. I'm not that bothered.
Pff, and you give out to me for a lazy picture, you won't even pick a theme.
Exactly Thompson!
