Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which story has a depressed man who's struggling to write a book about rest-stop graffiti?

3. At a yard sale, a horror writer buys a disturbing painting that follows him through town. What is the name of this haunting story?

Answer: The Road Virus Heads North

This story is probably my favorite of King's short stories because of its Hitchcock-esque ending.

4. What story is about another horror author that goes to a hotel to write about a room that's filled with paranormal activity?

Although all these stories take place in a hotel room, "1408" is the only one that has a haunted theme.

This story was inspired by a episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents".

8. A psychotic maitre d' lashes out on innocent victims with a giant knife. Which of the following stories makes you never want to eat at a fancy restaurant ever again?

Answer: Lunch at the Gotham Cafe

Stephen King states that this story was solely based on a mean look that a waiter gave him while he was walking by a restaurant window.

9. A married couple blames their breakup on their pets, a cat and a dog. In which story does this happen?

Answer: L.T.'s Theory of Pets

King says this is his favorite story to read aloud because of its variety of emotions.

Answer: That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French

At the end of this tale Stephen King says that he pictures this story as a dimension of hell, the torture of repetition.
