In his 1978 novel The Stand, author Stephen King wrote about a viral pandemic that decimated the world's population. And he gets it when fans say experiencing the COVID-19 outbreak feels like stepping into one of his horror stories.

"I keep having people say, 'Gee, it's like we're living in a Stephen King story,' " he says. "And my only response to that is, 'I'm sorry.' "

On rethinking writing set in 2020 because of the pandemic

...and I immediately looked back through the copy that I'd written and I saw that one of the things that was going on was that two of my characters had gone on a cruise. ... And I thought, "Well, no, I don't think anybody's going on cruise ships this year." And so I looked at everything and I immediately set the book in 2019, where people could congregate and be together and the story would work because of that.

Mmm. Misery came out after the Beatles were popular. 

But Annie is to authors what most artists fear of in their fans.

The Beatles essentially created the handsome boy band craze, and John Lennon was killed by one of his fans.

Misery was released in 1987. 

John Lennon was shot in 1980.
