Stephen King Wanted To Write A Book About Jason Voorhees

Stephen King has revealed that he once wanted to write a book from the perspective of Jason Voorhees, the hockey-masked murderer from the Friday the 13th franchise. Taking to Twitter on Sunday, the legendary storyteller confessed that he had considered writing "Jason's side of the story" as a first-person narrative from the fictional character's point of view, though he noted that the story is unlikely to ever now hit the shelves. King suggested that the table-turning tale, called "I, JASON," would see the titular character subjected to a "hellish fate" of perpetual death at Camp Crystal Lake, the summer camp that Jason stalked in the Friday the 13th film series.
