Ever wondered where Stephen King comes up with his scary story ideas? Well, this book goes some way to answering this question. It seems the books are often based on his own fears, and he feels writing about them helps keep them under control.
I found this unauthorised biography fascinating reading: from King’s dirt-poor childhood, to his college years, to the publication of his first book, to his battle with alcohol and drug addiction, to his huge success, and his battle back from the life-threatening injuries sustained when hit by a van while out walking. Fans of King will enjoy learning some of the background to his most famous works, plus find out what he really thought about the film version of The shining!
