Welcome to another episode of Hero or Dick!
Horror aficionados, this one's for you – we dedicate a significant portion of our discussion to the king of the macabre, Stephen King. Kate & KJ peel back the layers of King's tumultuous past, from the pain of paternal abandonment to the eerie days spent as a gravedigger, and how these shadows cast a long influence over his writing career. Weaving through tales of financial hardship, the rock-solid bond with his wife Tabitha, and a struggle with addiction, we reveal the man behind the typewriter. His remarkable journey from desperation to literary domination is a masterclass in determination and the power of the written word.
Thanks for listening!
