Decalogue of the Constant Reader
1. I, Constant Reader, will love the writing of Stephen King
above and beyond the writing of any other authors of
horror past, present and to come.
2. I will not deprecate the writing of Stephen King, be it
fiction or nonfiction, or any derivative work (such as movies, videos,
plays, etc.), but will voice my opinion respectfully and with care.
3. I will consider Stephen King the past and present of
horror, and I will give his works supreme eminence on my
bookshelves.
4. Critics be damned, I will consider The Stand [or your favorite] Stephen
King’s masterpiece.
5. I will not sell any signed copy of Stephen King’s works, nor will I
purchase a "signed" copy on eBay.
6. I will wait forever for Stephen King to finish The Plant.
7. I will reread Stephen King as many times as Ka-tet wills it.
And, if Ka-tet wills it, I will read to the end every book of
his I begin, find, rent, take out or buy.
8. I will inform the initiated and inflame their curiosity, because the
reading and discussion of Stephen King’s works has enriched my life.
9. I will be forever grateful to Tabitha King for having
rescued the manuscript pages of Carrie from the trash bin.
10. If Ka-tet wills it, I will wish Stephen King and his
works enduring life ... long after the flesh has perished and
the world of The Dark Tower has moved on.
