My parents (mostly my dad) allowed/encouraged me to read Stephen King at a young age--I completed my first 300 page novel at the age of ten, and I may not have had the nightmares you did, but I definitely see how it warped me and desensitized me to things that children should not be exposed to. I don't have children yet, but I guarantee you I'm going to be smarter about what I allow them to be exposed to. Thanks for the post. I think you got off lighter than I.

I don’t have children yet, but I guarantee you I’m going to be smarter about what I allow them to be exposed to.

Thanks for the post.
