The subject line is from King's excellent non-fiction book Danse Macabre, an analysis of horror. The line, as quoted from Teh Intarwebs (my copy of the book's not handy): "I recognize terror as the finest emotion and so I will try to terrorize the reader.

As I've laughed out loud at both his famously gross "Survivor Type" and Dreamcatcher's raw bacon scene, I support this.
