Every Stephen King fan knows that Bangor, Maine is the inspiration for the fictional town of Derry, which provides the backdrop for several of King's novels and short stories.
The inaugural ‘Stephen King Day,’ created to celebrate the wildly famous author, was recently announced to be taking place in a city right here in Maine.
Maine isn’t just about Stephen King and lobster rolls—we’ve actually contributed to civilization in ways that don’t involve scaring you senseless by dreaming up some pretty groundbreaking inventions.
Stephen King has popped up a few times in various small roles, and you may have never realized it was him at all. But he also appeared on a show not connected to his works.
