Meet the Guy Who Fact-Checks Stephen King On Stephen King

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday September 11, 2013 @04:25PM from the ask-me-anything dept.

cartechboy writes "Stephen King has sold more than 300 million books of horror, suspense, science fiction and fantasy. The guy has written so many works, and words, that he actually needs a "continuity adviser" to fact check him when he picks old stories up as a new book. Enter Rocky Wood — who is the world-wide leading expert on Stephen King's work. So much so, that King hired Wood (who has authored a 6000+ page encyclopedia on CD-ROM on every single aspect of King's work — including 26,000 different King characters) to fact check himself when he writes."

I'm not sure you understand what continuity means.

It's not like he didn't warn you, but you didn't care for the dire warning at the end did you.
