Horror Author Stephen King Meets Fans in South Portland

Best-selling author Stephen King was in South Portland Monday afternoon, wrapping up a national tour to promote his latest novel "Revival." Fans of the Bangor-based horror writer converged on the Books-A-Million bookstore, eager to get a signed copy.

Among them was Suzanne Edwards, from Dayton, Maine, who was keen to get home and start reading.

"He's so easy to read," she says. "I hated reading in high school, and when I picked up one of his books and I started reading I couldn't stop. And I've been reading every book since it's come out ever since."

Stephen King describes "Revival" as a "straight ahead horror novel," and warned fans to "tone up their nerves" before reading it.
