Happy Birthday, Stephen King

I am informed that today is Stephen King's birthday. He can celebrate with this news: his novel IT has been holding the #1 slot in the "Fiction and Literature" category of Apple’s iBooks store for a couple of weeks now, presumably due to the success of the recent movie adaptation. King is laughing all the way to the bank, but I do feel bad for those innocent first-time readers who may not be aware of the uniquely creepy scene that the filmmakers wisely omitted.
