This is an interesting book. It contains various writing and interviews with Stephen King regarding the craft of writing and how he got into it. I enjoyed learning about his background and how he struggled to make a living until he finally got Carrie published. This book contains a serial story by 12 year old Stephen King that he wrote for his brother's weekly newsletter called Jumper. It also includes an original short story called "In the Death Room" which was very good. It made you feel like you were there.

Interesting insight into a gifted man.

Mr. King's follow-up of the book On Writing. Some of his earliest stuff is in here. It's very enlightening.
