Famed Author AK Bennett Accused of Leaving Burning Bag of Human Feces on Stephen King's Porch

Bangor, ME — In one of the most bizarre incidents in literary history, celebrity author AK Bennett is facing public outrage after allegedly leaving a bag of burning human feces on the front porch of iconic horror novelist Stephen King. 

The incident reportedly occurred late last night at King’s residence in Bangor, Maine. According to local sources, King and his wife were at home when they noticed a small fire on their doorstep. After quickly extinguishing it, they discovered a charred paper bag filled with what appeared to be human excrement and the remains of several of King’s novels. 

Surveillance footage from the King estate allegedly captured a visibly-intoxicated Bennett leaving the bag of feces and fleeing.

Police have been called to investigate the matter, though no formal charges have been filed. Representatives for Stephen King declined to comment, but insiders close to the author say he is “completely baffled” by the act. “I’ve had some bizarre interactions in the literary world, but this is definitely at the top,” a source close to King commented. “It’s not even Halloween, and we’ve already had our first scare.”

AK Bennett, a controversial figure known for his provocative novels and public outbursts, has yet to issue an official statement. However, sources close to the writer claim the prank may have been in response to an offhand remark King made about Bennett’s latest book during a recent interview. King, never one to shy away from voicing his opinions, reportedly described Bennett’s work in such a way that drew the author’s ire. Whether this comment sparked the alleged act of defecatory retaliation remains unclear.

Social media exploded with reactions as soon as the story broke, with many fans expressing disbelief over Bennett’s antics. “This is next-level unhinged,” tweeted one user, while others joked about the infamous nature of both authors. "Stephen King writing horror, AK Bennett living it," quipped another.

Bennett, 45, who has built a reputation on his rebellious persona, has often found himself at the center of controversy. His books, known for their raw depictions of societal decay and personal vengeance, have been as divisive as they are celebrated. However, this latest stunt has left even his most ardent supporters questioning his judgment.

Legal experts suggest that while the act itself may seem like a prank, Bennett could face charges of trespassing, harassment, and even vandalism, depending on the investigation’s outcome.
