"...a must have for the Constant Reader."— Fangoria #236 (Book of the Month)
A quote from Frank
Posted: February 1, 2010, 23:03
_
"Hans-Ake Lilja, the most dedicated Stephen King fan I know, takes the reader on a joyous, wide-ranging journey through King’s world and influence. Part scholarly in its approach, but in greater part a fan's love letter to King, it is an absolute must for the Stephen King completist."

In the new issue of Fangoria (issue #289) you can find King's essay called What’s Scary but what I didn't know until tonight is that in that very same issue Fangoria selects my upcoming book, Lilja's Library: The World of Stephen King as their "Book of the Month".

"Lilja's Library: The World of Stephen King" is a major labor of love that is a treasure trove for King fans and in a category all its own. Lilja's combination of knowledge about King, his passion for King's work, and his writing and editing talents make for a magnificent tome that is a must-read for King lovers. It seems like Lilja has talked to everyone, and reviewed everything, and having all his interviews, articles, and reviews in one place is a goldmine for Constant Readers. M-O-O-N spells "Lilja" and we all owe our friend across the pond roaring thanks for this terrific book.

My first quote for the book
Posted: September 29, 2009, 09:10
_
Cemetery Dance sent a copy of my book (a galley) to Peter Straub and he in return sent me this very kind quote that I just had to share with you all:"Lilja's Library: The World of Stephen King is like beautifully prepared and presented red meat to any admirer of Stephen King. Mr. Lilja has tracked down his many quarries and used them to create this massive treatment of King's work and his world. His book is pure testimony to the love Stephen King is capable of arousing in his readers."
— Peter Straub, co-author of The Talisman and Black House
Well, what can I say? I’m a very happy boy today!

Lilja's Final Word
Praise for Lilja's Library, the website:
"Lilja's Library is not only the best of all the Stephen King websites now up on the web, it is one of the best of all current websites now up, being lively, informative, colorful, and wonderfully well-organized. It is a pleasure to visit Lilja's Library."
— Peter Straub, co-author of The Talisman and Black House
"A very impressive site, and by far one of the best on Stephen King! Done with great commitment, obvious passion, and reverence for its subject. It's always a pleasure to log on to Lilja's Library and see what's happening in the world of King."
— Frank Darabont, director of The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile and The Mist
"Lilja's Library is a required surf stop for the serious King fan."
— Mick Garris, director of The Stand, The Shining and Riding the Bullet
"Everything I want to know, and more, about Stephen King-I find at Lilja's Library"
— Mikael Håfström, director of 1408
"The wealth of information and the latest news updates available on Lilja's site is amazing. Lilja possesses the same level of devotion to Stephen King as Kathy Bates from Misery, the only difference between the two is... Lilja has a computer."
— Jae Lee, illustrator of The Dark Tower comic
"Lilja's Library has emerged from among the ranks of Stephen King information sites as THE go-to place for all the latest news, reviews, interviews and rumors. If it's not bookmarked in your favorites list, it should be."
— Bev Vincent, author of The Road to the Dark Tower
"Lilja's Library is a great website packed with information"
— Robin Furth, author of The Dark Tower Concordance and The Dark Tower comic.
"Lilja's-Library is a wildly enthusiastic look at the world of Stephen King. Any King fan can certainly indulge themselves with reviews, interviews, sneak peaks and plenty of nostalgia. Stephen can ditch his day-planner as long as he has this site bookmarked."
— Mark Stutzman, cover illustrator to many of Stephen King's books
"Lilja's Library is the most comprehensive, thorough, and up-to-the-minute source for Stephen King news on the web. It's a labor of love and an invaluable resource for us SK fans."
— Richard Dooling, novelist, producer, and writer for Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital
"A one-stop shop for everything King Related, Lilja's Library is the place on the net for the most in depth information for the discerning Stephen King fan—I have yet to find a website with more thorough, detailed, accurate and up-to-date information."
— Jay Holben, director of Stephen King's Paranoid.
"I've had a delightful time exploring Lilja's Library. I especially like the arrangement of materials. Everything is clearly labeled, easy to access, and well (and fully) discussed. It is certainly among the best and most comprehensive sites I've visited."
— Michael Collings, author of The Work of Stephen King and Horror Plum'd
"For a one-stop place to check out the latest King news, not just in America but worldwide, this is the only place you need to go. And the best thing about this is—in Lilja's Library, you don't need a borrower's card!"
— Tyson Blue, author of The Unseen King and Observations from the Terminator
"As New Line Cinema and film director Peter Jackson discovered, it simply makes good sense — and good business — to keep the fans online informed of what's going on; and in the Stephen King community, there are only a handful of sites worth your precious time. Lilja's Library is one of them. A die-hard King fan who has painstakingly and, over a period of many years, built up his website so that it's in the first rank of King websites, "LL" (Lilja's Library) is an essential website to surf if you REALLY want to know what's going on in Stephen's kingdom. Hard-working, responsible, and dedicated to putting out the news for a worldwide audience, Lilja is a publicist's dream: He'll get the word out and do it in a professional and timely manner. As the author of more books about Stephen King than anyone else on the planet, I've got to say that Lilja has my respect and admiration because of his efforts to keep the King community informed, and as they say, you can take THAT to the bank."
— George Beahm, author of Stephen King A to Z and Stephen King Country
"Lilja's Library is one of the best resources on the Internet for all things King. In addition to being a wonderful support for our extensive collection of Stephen King audiobooks, Lilja is an absolute pleasure to work with! I highly recommended the site for all fans of Stephen King."
— Theresa Pantazopoulos, Publicity Manager, Simon & Schuster Audio
"There some utterly definitive web sites I depend upon for their accuracy and specific focus and on my list is Lilja's Library for all things Stephen King. Lilja does an extraordinary amount of work maintaining one of the most comprehensive King sites on the Web. Lilja's Library is the kind of loving, meticulously accurate web site that King's work inspires in his fans. King fans around the world owe him enormous gratitude for keeping us all up to speed on all the goings-on in the kingdom of King."
— Stephen Spignesi, author of The Lost work of Stephen King and The Essential Stephen King
"Lilja's Library is the quintessential resource for anybody — fan or professional — seeking information on anything related to Stephen King and his multitude of books, films and television productions. If there's anything you need to know about a Stephen King project, go to Lilja's Library first!"
— Eric A. Stillwell, former Associate Producer, The Dead Zone
Available in two states:
- Trade Hardcover Edition ($40)
