Multiple media outlets cover Stephen King book launch, talk at UMaine

The Bangor Daily News, WLBZ (Channel 2), WVII (Channel 7), WABI (Channel 5) and The Boston Globe covered author Stephen King’s book launch and talk Monday evening at the University of Maine’s Collins Center for the Arts. In “Hearts in Suspension,” King and 11 classmates and friends who attended UMaine with him share personal essays about their experiences on campus during the late 1960s. The BDN reports King told the crowd of 1,500 at the event that, at first, he wasn’t sure he wanted to take part in the book project. “The bottom line was I wasn’t sure I wanted to go back because those were turbulent years,” King said. The Kennebec Journal also published a review of the book.
