Greetings from 'The King of Castle Rock'

Welcome to a special world, centered around the small town of Castle Rock. A place hidden in the darkness of evil. This world is filled with colorful characters and touching stories of hope and survival. Their homes spread across the land to places like Derry, Jerusalem's Lot, and worlds beyond our ability to imagine, waiting for us to explore them. All of this vast empire is ruled by one man, its creator, Stephen King. This blog is about the work of the undisputed 'Master of Horror', from the literature to the process. Enjoy your journey through the world that Stephen King built, and rules!

Stephen King: The Humanitarian

As it states in the introduction, this site is dedicated to the work of Stephen King. So I wanted to write an article on the other works of King, his humanitarian work.  Here are the organizations and foundations that Stephen King has created to make our world a better place for all:

The Haven Foundation is a national, nonprofit organization making grants to freelance writers and artists experiencing career-threatening illness, accident, natural disaster or other emergency or personal catastrophe.

The Barking Foundation is a private, non-profit foundation that provides grants for accredited post-secondary education of meritorious State of Maine residents, based on their demonstrated financial need.

The Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation is a private non-profit organization that promotes strengthening and supporting communities and draws upon the values & spirituality of the founders. The Foundation has a special interest in organizations & people.

The "Dollar Baby" Program was created by Stephen King to allow some of his work to be adapted to film by student filmmakers. The program was designed by King to promote film production education. 

Mr. King, thanks for all of your work as an author and a humanitarian.

(Information for the above foundations and programs from The Official Stephen King Website. These sites will also be added to the "Links" page.)
