 Stephen
King
From 1979-1987, the horror novelist was addicted
to cocaine describing it as his "on switch" and cannot remember

gone on drinking until about the age of 55 and it would have been
a couple of lines in the New York Times: 'Writer Stephen King dies
of stroke.' |

puncture-marks...sank back into the velvet lined armchair with a long
sigh of satisfaction." The Sign Of Four.
