You’d imagine horror master Stephen King to live in a historic home that looks as if it could be haunted. And he does! The scare king has spent most of his successful years living in a blood red mansion with an ornate gate embellished with hellish bats. Recently he and his longtime wife Tabitha have become snow birds, and often spend their winters in Florida. Partly due to intense tourist interest around his famous red house, King also spends time at another property in Oxford County, Maine. Thus, Bangor City Council have allowed King to rezone his noted home as a non-profit to house an archive of his work and open it up for part of the year to visiting writers (by appointment only).
