Stephen King's Terror Diet


"...two things occurred to me as I did my research (well...some people call it listening to the Blasters and surfing the Net). The first was that writers can never completely escape their natural inclinations.

The second was that I hadn't found a single diet that tried to scare people thin. Can you imagine? In a society that's currently going bugwit about anthrax and North Korean missiles? Not one. And that's just wrong. It was a short jump from there to what follows. Here, then, are the high points of what I call (modestly) the Terror Diet."
