Why Stephen is the King of Twitter
THURSDAY 06 APR, 2017If you're a Stephen King fan your life has been a joy since December 7, 2013. That was the day that this little tweet broke the internet.
Stephen King arrived on twitter with an adorable vulnerability that you never know he had in him. Soon he followed with this tweet.
Aw, Stevie. So timid on the tweetbox.
But he soon got into the swing of it and has become twitter royalty. Like the time he delivered a savage burn to his son Joe Hill (a brilliantly talented bestselling author in his own right)
Or the time he reminded everyone that he made clowns creepy in the first place. And he kinda feels bad about it. He should, clowns are sooooo damn creepy...
He also offered up a description of Donald Trump that you will never be able to get out of your head...
Or just the moments when he drops an intense wisdom bomb on you.
Relentless wisdom bombing...
And he blew your mind when he pondered what would happen if one of the world's greatest short story writers had access to the world's greatest short blogging platform...
And every so often he releases nuggets of info about The Dark Tower movie, finally coming later this year!
And equally excited (but also terrified) that the IT remake is also on the way and looks AMAZING!
LONG LIVE THE KING!
