Stephen King
Stephen Edwin King, born September 21, 1947, is a prolific American author best known for his horror novels, though he has written other types of fiction, often under the pseudonym 'Richard Bach'. He grew up in a seemingly regular family until one day, when Stephen was five, his dad went out for cigarettes and never came back. His stories usually revolve around unremarkable characters, middle-class families, children, and often writers, being submerged into increasingly horrifying and supernatural circumstances. Many of his stories have been translated to the screen, Alice's extensive collection is listed below.
