That feeling raising the hairs on the back of your neck today?

That’s Stephen King creeping into Omaha.

The kind-of-a-big-deal author is in town for a Bookworm-hosted event tonight at Kaneko. Tickets to King’s speech sold out in minutes in April.

The Omaha stop is part of King’s tour in support of his latest book, “End of Watch.” King will discuss his work, read from “End of Watch” and take questions from the audience.

King is the author of dozens of best-selling books, including “The Shining,” “It,” “Pet Sematary,” “Carrie,” “The Stand,” “The Dark Tower” series and, more recently, “11/22/63,” “Doctor Sleep,” “Under the Dome” and the “Bill Hodges Trilogy.”

His books have made him the king of the modern horror novel, though he also works in the fantasy, science-fiction and thriller genres. Many titles have been adapted into films and TV series.

King has sold more than 350 million copies, making him one of the best-selling living authors.

King, 68, lives in Bangor, Maine, with his wife, novelist Tabitha King.
