Stephen King Finds A Safe 'Haven'

Have you seen this man? Probably not. He can be a little reclusive. What do you expect from a guy who concocts nightmarish tales that make even the most thick skinned folk tremble a bit. For some reason I feel like he has been missing in action, off the radar if you will. I know he is a prolific author that lives in a cabin in the backwoods of Maine. Still, one can't help but wonder if King's best days are behind him. I've kicked myself for even thinking such a thing and luckily SyFy doesn't agree with my over the top assessment.

SyFy has placed an order for a 13 episode run of a ghostly series going by the name of "Haven". The show is based on King's novella, "The Colorado Kid". It's good to see King's name in the headlines again, it was starting to sadden me that the only time I was hearing his name was due to the fact he was catching up on his reading while attending a Red Sox game at Fenway Park. King sucked me into the horror genre with his books and some of the movies that were translated from his books are still holding up well. I looking at you "Pet Cemetery". You can be sure I will be tuning in for this series, will you?

Deep in the heart of Maine, Haven is a town where people with supernatural abilities have migrated for generations because it mutes their powers, allowing them to lead normal lives. At least, until recently. When hot-shot FBI agent Audrey Parker is called to Haven to solve the murder of a local ex-con, she catches the killer but uncovers a much deeper mystery about this town. Each week, as the town-peoples' dormant powers begin to express themselves, Audrey will try to keep these supernatural forces at bay while unraveling the many mysteries of Haven including one surrounding her own surprising past in this extraordinary place.
