A scene from a vacant lot near the suspected location of “the jungle.” (Disclaimer: this is private property. Please follow the law and don't trespass, Stephen King fans.)";s:

Stephen King’s novels usually take place in small town Maine. But one of King’s most famous novels might contain a call-back to his childhood in Fairfield County, Connecticut.

Davis Dunavin loves telling stories, whether on the radio or around the campfire. He started in Missouri and ended up in Connecticut, which, he'd like to point out, is the same geographic trajectory taken by Mark Twain.
