Stephen King has a lot to do with Maine and horror, but not everything. Who is Bob Marley?

Dan Curtis, Robert Matheson and Grace Metalious all set TV shows and books in Maine before Stephen King published his first novel.

Why are you going on ad nauseam about this? Neither the Portland Press-Herald nor the history professor quoted in the article claim King is 100 percent responsible for Maine's association with horror. You need to stand up, straighten out your panties, and attempt to calm down.
