42 Everyday People With Remarkable And Frightening Family Ties

#25: Dad’s Old College Mate

This is Stephen King’s second appearance on this list, but this one is a bit cooler if you ask us. In this story, this person’s dad knew the author—he went to school with him. I guess it’s not that unlikely, considering he attended the University of Maine. It still makes for a pretty funny story.

According to this person, his dad said King was “really odd” (his words, not ours). For some reason, we don’t find his father’s account surprising. I mean, for you to write those types of novels, you have to be a bit odd. He’s probably a very interesting guy, with a big imagination, but also a bit weird.
