This work examines Stephen King's position in popular literary circles and then considers the contributions of his family to the landscape of contemporary fiction. Though they have to a degree been eclipsed by Stephen King's popularity, his wife, Tabitha King, and sons, Owen King and Joe Hill, have found varying levels of success in their own right. The three have traveled their own writing paths, from supernatural fiction to contemporary literary fiction. This is the first extended exploration of the works of three authors who have too long been overshadowed by their proximity to "the King of Horror."

First, it makes research more efficient, and then it creates a readable family history. As a result, your research will become faster and more accurate, and your family can enjoy the family history. Don’t be afraid to begin. Concentrate on finding one story and then another by doing the research. You will find small pieces first that will make the task easier. Eventually, the small pieces will begin to fit together, and the overall story of your family history will appear. Do the work and get the details to organize and save it for future generations.

This book summarizes seventy of my honoring-the-dead books that I was directed to write by the dead. The dead would direct me in my dreams, usually within a week after they die, to write a book for their loved ones. They would tell me what to write, what photographs to use, and to whom to send the book. This is the reason why I had decided to publish this book. The dead dont forget you after they die. Dont forget them. People dont change after they die. Ive had many good experiences and a few very bad experiences with them. If I was able to communicate with the dead, you can to. Its a very interesting story how I had acquired this capability, which I discussed in this book. I was not born with that capability. I also discuss two of my prior lifetimes, which have also helped me communicate with the dead. These are all things that I suggest that you know about. It all helps, like it has helped me. Its all true, and it can be verified in the seventy books that I have written. This book summarizes what is in those seventy books. This book gives a number of examples that nothing happens by accident. You can be whatever you want to be. I did it, and you can do it too. In this lifetime, I meet my mother in my 1620 AD lifetime, who had given me my current capabilities.
