One of the most prolific and best-loved purveyors of horror and suspense has finally joined the twitterati. @StephenKing has stacked up 172,258 followers in three days and is already one of most-followed authors on Twitter.
King chose just "author" for his Twitter bio, in a similar style to other high-profile literary tweeters. Bret Easton Ellis (@BretEastonEllis) and Paulo Coelho (@paulocoelho) both describe themselves as "writer", while Jackie Collins (@jackiejcollins) opts for the more strident "Kick-ass writer!"
One of King's early followers was his son, the author and novelist Joe Hill (@joe_hill), to whom he tweeted; "@joe_hill Tweet whatever you want. Just don't let me catch you with your hand in your pants."
