About this ebook

Now known worldwide for his horror creations in best-selling books and popular film adaptations, Stephen King spent years in obscurity trying to find his voice and his audience. For much of his career he chose to remain in the small-town Maine of his youth, far from glittering publishing and film centers, yet few American writers can now equal his hold on audiences worldwide. This biography traces King's evolution from would-be pulp magazine writer to master of his craft, whose work both epitomizes and transcends the horror genre.

Ratings and reviews

Always have been a Stephen King reader. I really get into Most of his stories. Not all. Reading this updated version of his old auto biog., flooded me with alot of his previous stories. Living in S.E.new england, I can actually picture alot of his stories like I'm actually there.

My brother Donald Allen Kirch is a great writer too.
