My thoughts:

 Wow!
Apparently a lot of people skipped this box. Either because they feared what horrors it may contain or because they don’t know Stephen King.
I’ve read one or two of his books, a short story or two as well, but I found his writing hard going.
His writing inspired  so of the feel of Stranger Things and prompted other films and shows I’ve enjoyed so I was all for supporting this box.

Of the quotes featured, I only know IT (which I’m sure I watched when I was younger, but I can’t remember) and Pet Sematary Which I think I’ve seen too. Mentioned is The Shining and Carrie which I’ve also seen. The books I’ve read are not here.

I recently bought IT at the NSPCC book fair and I hope to read it next October, but having recently watched The Mist, I’ve been considering his books again, perhaps as audio books? I might check some of these out first!
There are some pretty amazing quotes here, and I’m realising I missed some when it comes to the notebook!

“All lives are different. All of them Matter or none matters.”

Do you have a Stephen King recommendation for me?
