While the first figure of the author is a stylish look, the blood-soaked Barnes and Noble figure evoking not-so-fond memories of Carrie is sure to sell like hotcakes when it hits the shelves and website of the bookstore chain. He is joining the roster of authors to be turned into a figure from the brand alongside George R.R. Martin (Game of Thrones), Dr. Seuss (Green Eggs and Ham) and Edgar Allen Poe (The Raven).

King has been a hot commodity in both the literary and cinematic worlds over his 40 years of working, being considered one of the greatest authors in history and selling over 350 million copies across his 61 novels, six non-fiction books and 200 short stories, many of which have been compiled into book collections. His works have also been adapted into over 45 films, not counting sequels to films including Children of the Corn that extend pas their source material, and numerous miniseries.
