For all the fans of Stephen King based in NYC, the New York Academy of Sciences will be hosting a special book-signing reception with Lois Gresh, author of "The Science of Stephen King" on November 29th.
Lois Gresh, author of “The Science of Stephen King: From Carrie to Cell, The Terrifying Truth behind the Horror Master's Fiction” will lecture on her exciting novel and sign books during a post-lecture reception.
Human characters, not science, are the heart of King's fiction, but Gresh and her coauthor Robert Weinberg (The Science of James Bond) use these tales as a jumping-off point in their latest pop-sci tie-in.
From a review by Bev Vincent, PhD, author of The Road to the Dark Tower:
"…If you've ever read Stephen King's works and asked yourself what's real and what could be real, you might be surprised by the answers Weinberg and Gresh provide. As they so cleverly explain, much of what Stephen King writes about in his novels is closer to reality than you might think."
This exciting lecture, followed by a book-signing reception, will take place on November 29th; 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM; at the New York Academy of Sciences located at 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, 40th Floor, NY, NY. For more information or to register for this event, visit
