SARASOTA, FLORIDA - Moments ago, the local cable news network showed the most frightening public service announcement that I've ever seen.
Famed horror novelist Stephen King appeared on my TV screen to solicit blood for the Suncoast Communities Blood Bank. The author of "Salem's Lot" seems like a more fitting spokesperson for vampires. Yet, King showed no sign of the irony as he made his deadpan plea for blood just a few weeks before Halloween.
Well, the need is real and the request is strange enough to appear on this blog. So, donate blood if you can at:
Suncoast Communities Blood Bank
1 (866) 97-BLOOD (972-9662)
