Writer Stephen King shilled for American Express in a 1985 commercial that is ... well, it's just plain hilarious. Perhaps it was a needed respite for the prolific writer. King spent the 1980s penning, among many other things, Cujo, The...

Gee, it's kinda sad to think that one of the most influential genre writers of the past four decades died last year with hardly a yawn from the media. She was right up there with Ian Fleming and Stephen King but you probably haven't heard of her because she wrote romance stories, which men don't read and which feminists and hippies disdain.

It’s a little like a Stephen King storyline. There’s something stirring in the house in south London. Something dark. Something mysterious. Something unnamed and malevolent. Something bad. For there has been much badness in this house this evening, my droogies. Oh yes. The first piece of badness was the demon-possessed measuring of ingredients for my tea. Because the finished product [...]

Stephen King on why the current glut of Hollywood behemoths are such failures as horror films: [H]orror is not spectacle, and never will be. Horror is an unknown actress, perhaps the girl next door, cowering in a cabin with a knife in her hands we know she'll never be able to use. Horror is the scene [...]

Well, according to my highly unscientific poll that is limited to Medium fans, Stephen King is still the hottest spooky writer out there. One of you is a fan of Dean Koontz, though, and two of you like another writer. I’ll confess that I can’t handle either of these guys. I read a scary book [...]

Despite all the talk of globalisation, mutual economic dependency and trade linkages, policymakers spend too much time focusing on the domestic minutiae and not enough on the really big international stories which determine our economic destinies. I know this because, like anyone else, I can log on to central bank websites and get a flavour of policymakers' concerns. The Federal Reserve and the Bank...

I doubt if Americans are any less courageous than the people of any other nation. But it does seem to me that they invent a class of "bogeymen" to be afraid of that seems uniquely attached to their own collective nightmares.
