Weird Side of Fame: Unusual Celebrity Facts You Never Knew Existed
Stephen King’s Real Horror
Stephen King, renowned for his chilling tales, confesses to having triskaidekaphobia, the dread of the number 13. In a 1984 New York Times piece, he candidly discussed this phobia. Stephen avoids ending his readings on page numbers that add up to 13 and changes his step pattern to evade the unlucky number.
He compares his behavior to athletes’ rituals and carpenters’ superstitions, suggesting neuroses, rather than love, might propel the world. This insight into Stephen’s psyche reveals how even a master of horror isn’t immune to everyday fears, blurring the line between fiction’s frights and the real terrors that haunt us.
