Only true Stephen King fans will spot the 170+ references in this terrifying poster

Dogs, clowns, and vampires galore.

You may think you're Stephen King's Number One Fan, but the truth is that position is a hotly contested one.

There are a lot of constant readers out there, after all.

More importantly, there are also a whole lot of books. Even if you've read the bulk of the horror master's work (including his 60 or so novels and 200+ short stories), you'd be hard-pushed to remember all of them.

No harm in putting that knowledge to the test, though.

38-year-old artist Jordan Monsell recently created a poster called "King Country", which combines a whopping 170+ King references into one glorious image.

Here's the picture in all its gory glory (technically it contains spoilers, so tread carefully):

Monsell told Mashable he's been reading King since junior high, and even lived in Maine for a few years.

"The idea of doing one with King's stories came to me years ago because he has such a huge body of work," said Monsell. "So many characters and stories."

The poster, which will be available for sale at Monsterpalooza this April, took him around 120 hours to create.

Stephen King would surely be proud.
