Stephen King hints 'new book' after scaring fans with 'creepy' poster

Stephen King fans are convinced the award-winning horror author is writing a new book after he left many 'terrified' by a 'creepy' social media post. Taking to Twitter, the 75-year-old shared a image of a 'wanted' poster that featured the face of a rather 'nightmarish' looking man - or creature.

Above the man's face, text reads: "Have you seen this man?", followed by: "Beware. The subject is very hostile, if seen immediately contact us." It then lists a phone number, which doesn't look particularly real.

The writer did not include a caption to the image, so many fans rushed to comment their theories on what the poster could mean. Some said it could all be related to a new book he might be working on, giving fans an early glimpse at what sort of content they can expect from him next.
