Stephen King

Biography

Stephen King was born in 1947, in Portland, Maine. He has been a great reader of comics since he was a teenage, especially The Tales of the Crypt, hence his taste for the horror genre. He began writing at school where he used to sell his stories to his classmates. Then he started working on his first novel in 1965, but has never finished it. He went to Maine University where he studied literature, and where he met Tabitha Jane Spruce who would become his wife and the mother of his 3 children.
He wrote The Long Walk, his first novel, in 1967, but his first novels wouldn't be published before the 1980's, after Carrie. Since then, he has written best-seller after best-seller, a lot of his books were adapted into films, and he has become for many people the undisputed master of the horror genre. He also wrote books under the pen name Richard Bachman.
