There are some things that are just plain “New England.” Like the Red Sox, for example. Their following doesn’t just extend into the unknown lands of Western Massachusetts. It permeates the entire region, hence “Red Sox Nation.” Clam Chowder is another. From the coasts of Connecticut to the mountains of New Hampshire, it’s a staple even on diner menus. And if there’s one writer that most native New Englanders have read at least 1 book of, it’s Stephen King. We don’t want the entire blog to center on Stephen King, so I’ve decided to make a page that will center on all things King. (Created 1/1/15)
