All you wanted to know about Stephen King . . . but were too afraid to ask!In 1974, a new talent burst onto the horror scene: Maine schoolteacher Stephen King. Over the next forty years, King's name would become synonymous with horror and dark fantasy through over fifty bestselling books, including his magnum opus The Dark Tower.Simpson traces the writer's development through his difficult childhood and his early writing career to the success of Carrie, 'Salem's Lot and The Shining in the 1970s and the outpouring of material over the following two decades, some published under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman. He shows how King's writing was affected by the accident that nearly killed him in 1999, and the ways in which his battles with addiction to alcohol and medication are reflected in his stories. He also discusses the dozens of films, TV shows, plays and comic books that have been inspired by King's works.A recipient of the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, among many other fantasy and mystery awards, King is one of the most significant cultural figures of the recent past, whose work remains as relevant - and popular - today as when he began writing.
