A dispatch from the front lines of the new French revolution

Farewell to Quebec

<p>Twitter just got a whole lot scarier. Horror author Stephen King has signed up, with a bio that lists him simply as &#8220;author&#8221; and links to his website.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a pretty humble description for the best-selling author of more than 50 books.</p>
<p>King made his debut with two tweets:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">
<p>My first tweet. No longer a virgin. Be gentle!</p>
<p>&mdash; Stephen King (@StephenKing) <a href="https://twitter.com/StephenKing/statuses/409050312159133696">December 6, 2013</a></p></blockquote>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">
<p>On Twitter at last, and can&#39;t think of a thing to say. Some writer I turned out to be.</p>
<p>&mdash; Stephen King (@StephenKing) <a href="https://twitter.com/StephenKing/statuses/409068267362197504">December 6, 2013</a></p></blockquote>

<p>If King is looking for Twitter inspiration, he may want to take a tip or two from R.L. Stine, the author who writes the Goosebumps series and other scary stories for kids. Stine is also <a href="https://twitter.com/RL_Stine" target="_blank">a prolific tweeter</a> who uses the social media service to tell stories, talk about upcoming projects and tweet links about monkey brains.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">
<p>Close-up picture of a primate brain. Enjoy your lunch. <a href="http://t.co/RX3hH68YfS">http://t.co/RX3hH68YfS</a></p>
