Jersey City, get ready: Stephen King is coming.

King, who has written over 50 books, including "It," "Carrie" and "The Stand," will appear in Jersey City on June 7 at an event sponsored by Newark Avenue book store Word.

The location of the appearance has yet to be announced, but a teaser on Word's website says workers there are "beyond excited" about King coming to Jersey City to promote his new book, "End of Watch." Judging by King's website, which cautions fans that he will not be signing books on his tour (he will pre-sign copies that will be for sale), this will be his only appearance in the tri-state area to tout the book.

Word is hosting actors Nick Offerman and Patrick Wilson at the Landmark Loew's Jersey Theatre on April 5 to promote the paperback release of Offerman's latest book, "Gumption: Relighting the Torch of Freedom with America's Gutsiest Troublemakers."

"End of Watch" is the conclusion of King's Hodges trilogy, which includes "Mr. Mercedes" and "Finders Keepers." In 2015, "Mr. Mercedes" won a Best Novel Edgar Allan Poe Award, presented by the Mystery Writers of America.
