Story Rating: 4.5 out of 5

Blurb:

This book takes a critical look at Stephen King's most iconic works and reads between the lines to uncover the personal influences and demons as reflected in each monster, epidemic, and depraved character. Unseen family photographs and 16 pieces of previously unpublished ephemera - such as handwritten manuscript notes, typed early drafts, lengthy journal entries, and doodles for King's college newspaper - complete this tangible tour. Packed with fascinating biographical details, literary interpretations, and personal memorabilia, The Stephen King Illustrated Companion is a must-have addition to any true fan's library.

Review:

The Stephen King Illustrated Companion is a fantastic addition to any King fan's collection. It was neat to see the handwritten notes and book covers that I remember seeing as a kid years ago. This book will appeal to any Stephen King fan of any age. There is so much information here that you can tackle this book as a read in order type of book or skip around to your personal favorites. One thing is for sure and that is once you get your hands on this you will immediately put it on your "keeper shelf" to be able to look at it again and again.
