Stephen King is not only the most prolific writer of the twenty-first century, he is one of the most popular and beloved writers of all time. More than two hundred stories including novels, novellas, short stories, articles, essays, more than five hundred million copies sold worldwide, more than fifty awards won, his books have been translated into more than thirty languages and adapted for the small and big screen over the years.
This essay by Lorenzo Ricciardi seeks to explore and recount the King of Horror from a different perspective, trying to give a more intimate view of the Stephen King writer and man, through the words of those who knew him on the set, those who are close to him in their private or professional lives, and those who simply love him and consider him a profound source of inspiration. Featuring contributions from such directors as George Romero, Mick Garris, Frank Darabont, Scott Derrickson and Tom Holland, world-renowned writers such as Ramsey Campbell, Jack Ketchum and Joe Lansdale, and important contributions from Tullio Dobner and Danilo Arona.
Forewords by Gianfranco Nerozzi, the “Italian Stephen King,” and King’s official biographer Bev Vincent.
