Objectives of this page

The internet offers exciting opportunities as well as it poses serious problems. While there is an abundant amount of information about all aspects of the Stephen King phenomenon, it is difficult to obtain an informed survey of what is available. Many pages have a way of simply disappearing from the web, illustrating the ephemeral quality of the internet. Probably most of the many hits your favourite search engine produces are only marginally connected to King. This online guide tries to bring some order to the anarchy of Stephen King information found on the WWW. It is far from complete, but covers a good ground already. I will also try to indicate the sites I find particularly useful.
If you follow a link, I recommend that you open it in a new window. Just right-click the link and choose option "Open in new window." If you have any suggestion for what should be on this page or you find that any of the links are outdated, please contact me via e-mail. If you want to put my banner on your own homepage, please download one of them at the bottom of the page.
