Stephen King is great he has sold more than 350 million copies of books, many have been adapted into feature films, miniseries, televsion series, and comic books
Oh, I love some the films made from his books, what are some of his best works?
Yea well he has published 54 novels, including seven under the pen name Richard Bachman
Oh wow, that's quite impressive. I'll be honest, I don't really know if he's still alive, is he?
yes! he was born in 1947 in portland, maine
Good to know! Now, was he the person who wrote the book with the clown in the sewers?
yes and in addition to that he has written around 200 short stories, most of which have been collected in book collections
54 novels AND 200 short stories? He has to be completely mad to complete that many works!
