Stephen King

Stephen King, dubbed as the 'King of Horror' is a legendary storyteller that ventures into the deepest well of his imagination to produce bestseller after bestseller.

Stephen King was born in Portland, Maine in 1947. In the fall of 1971, he began teaching high school English classes. Writing in the evenings and on the weekends, he continued to produce short stories and to work on novels. In the spring of 1973, Doubleday & Co., accepted the novel Carrie for publication, providing him the means to leave teaching and write full-time. He has since published over 50 books and has become one of the world's most successful writers.

So powerful are his originals, that they have been turned into successful films and TV series.
