Though he was granted just the kind of vague advice that can drive a creative mind insane, Torpe was definitely relieved and grateful for what minimal guidance was given.
As someone who has never received good advice from Stephen King for any reason whatsoever, I can only imagine the kind of mental stress bouncing around Christian Torpe’s mind while awaiting a response from the King of Horror.
(He famously allows certain indie filmmakers and film students to adapt his works for just $1, earning those efforts the nickname of Dollar Babies.)
Thankfully, there wasn’t much for Torpe to worry about, since King is about as genial and accepting as possible in regards to others adapting parts of his bibliography.
