As part of our first episode, "The Magic of Stephen King," we interviewed over 20 people from all manner of professions spread out across the globe who have been impacted in some way by Stephen King. We were only able to use a small clip of each interview in the episode, but we want to share their full stories and explore further why Stephen King is so important to so many people.

First up is Charles Ardai, the Editor of Hard Case Crime, a publishing house in New York focused on hardboiled crime novels. To date, they have published three different Stephen King novels: The Colorado Kid, Joyland, and Later.
