About the Book

Stephen King, master of the macabre, knows that the scariest monsters may look just like ordinary people. Unleashing the evil in our everyday world has made King a best-selling author around the globe. Across years steeped in fears and poverty, King was driven to write, even as the piles of rejection letters grew. "It is the tale, not he who tells it," says Stephen King, but biographer Suzan Wilson's candid and entertaining portrait proves him wrong.

Review :
These titles in the People to Know series offer readers an understanding of how formative events in each writers life have influenced his work. The series format imposes a similar structure and treatment for each writer. Opening chapters describe a pivotal episode in each writer's career. Readers learn how Steinbeck desperately sought the seclusion he needed to write Of Mice and Men, a story that encompassed his encounters of working alongside migrant workers. London's 'hobo' experience and imprisonment influenced his views and writing, and King's stay in the deserted Stanley Hotel in the Colorado Rockies led to the writing of his novel The Shining (Signet, 1981). Details about early childhood, family history, and the important role that books and reading played in their development follow. Florence points out, for example, the long-lasting influence of Malory's Morte d'Arthur on Steinbeck's writing. A chronological and candid account of each writer's personal life is well integrated with the evolution of his writing career. The biographies offer detailed information about each writer's approach to the writing process, including the rejections and successes, royalties and awards, and the reception of each writer's work by critics and readers. Attention is given to lesser works, and better-known writings are highlighted as well. The Steinbeck and King biographies include accounts of the writing and production of movies based on their novels.
