Stephen King’s birthday is September 21st (that’s right, every single year), and to celebrate we’ve combed the depths of the interwebs to bring you some groovy King-centric stuff. Enjoy! And maybe make a little honorary birthday cupcake for the King of Horror. But, you know, use red food coloring so it looks like blood. He would want it that way.
