Feeling ashamed or afraid someone will think you are weird because you like stuffed animals? Stephen King and his dog like stuffies, too and love to show it.
Stephen King is famous for his slightly scary books which feature even scarier characters. But he also has a soft-ish side – his corgy dog Molly. We say “soft-ish” because in his style King has given Molly the nickname “The Thing of Evil”.
The reason for that is he loves to take pictures of Molly in normal settings but making them seem like she is doing something really scary. Why? Because he is Stephen King and that’s what he does.
It all began with her chewing a Santa hat, which King describes as a “good idea”. From then on pictures are worth a thousand words.
