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. "I am the literary equivalent of a Big Mac and Fries." - Stephen King
