I love Stephen King, He is the best author of horrors and science fiction books.
Me too!  I started reading his books years ago, and they are all great!  I really loved The Stand!
Stephen King was two years old, when his father left the family under the pretense of "going to buy a pack of cigarettes"
Wow!  And he didn't come back?  That's so sad!
Yes, can you believe it. the movie "Shawshank Redemption" is based on his book.
I didn't know that!  I haven't seen that movie, but I have seen The Shining, which is also from one of his books
He has published 54 novels, including seven under the pen name Richard Bachman.
I haven't read any of the Bachman books - what are the titles of some of them?
I know "thiner", He has written around 200 short stories,
He sounds like a very busy man!  I wish I had his talent for writing!
