Meet the Author

Stephen King
Stephen King

Stephen King, the world's bestselling novelist, was educated at the University of Maine at Orono. He lives with his wife, the novelist Tabitha King, and their children in Bangor, Maine.

Biography

Fiction powerhouse Stephen Edwin King was born in Portland, Maine, in 1947. As a student at the University of Maine at Orono, he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper, became active in political causes, and met his wife, the former Tabitha Spruce. In the early years of his marriage, King augmented his meager teacher's salary by selling short stories to men's magazines. Then, in 1973 he hit pay dirt: his novel Carrie was accepted for publication, and a major paperback deal provided the means for him to leave teaching and concentrate full-time on writing. Since then, the prolific author has never looked back.

Dubbed the Master of the Macabre for his domination of the horror genre, King has also written bestselling thrillers, mysteries, fantasies, novellas, and short stories, many of which have been turned into blockbuster films and miniseries (A partial list includes Carrie, The Shining, The Stand,, Misery, It, The Shawshank Redemption, The Langoliers, Stand by Me, and The Green Mile). He also has two works of nonfiction to his credit: a gorgeously crafted memoir/scribbler's how-to (On Writing) and Faithful, a chronicle of the Boston Red Sox' stellar 2004 season, cowritten with Stewart O'Nan. In 2003, he received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

In between books, the indefatigable King performs in the Rock Bottom Remainders, a rock band that includes among its rotating personnel fellow authors Dave Barry and Amy Tan; attends as many Boston Red Sox games as is humanly possible; and contributes with his wife, Tabitha, to many local and national charities.

Good To Know

Don't believe everything you read about Stephen King. Among the gossip circulating about the scribe is the rumor that he is going blind. King assures his fans that while he is genetically predisposed to a disease called macular degeneration, which could result in blindness, he is not actually going blind.

King is probably one of the most easily recognizable authors alive, and it's not just because of his string of bestsellers. King has appeared in a number of films based on his work, including Pet Semetary, Thinner, and The Stand.

If you've ever wondered why Stephen King has written several books under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, there is actually a very simple explanation: King is so prolific that he felt it necessary to create an alter-ego so that he could publish more than one book a year. The name was a hastily hobbled together combination of writer Richard Stark (ironically, a pseudonym for Donald Westlake) and Randy Bachman of rock group Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

    King at his best...

    King has done it again! This book is OUTSTANDING, every little thing about it.. You'll fall in love with the characters and That Cherry-Red Plymouth Fury. It's got everything a true horror novel needs. The movie is also a must-see.

    Must Read....But needs to be available as a Nookbook

    This book along with "Pet Sematary" and "The Shining" are two of Stephen King's best novels. I already have "The Shining" on my Nook, but would really like to add "Christine" and "Pet Sematary" to my growing e-book library. Please make them available as e-books soon.

    Stephen King Thrills Again

    I became a Stephen King fan late in life, but once I found his books I became hooked. Christine is one of his classics. His ability to develop characters that you can actually visualize is amazing. Once you start his books it's hard to put them down again until you are finished. Very few writers can suck you in and keep you there as well as Mr King can!

    Jaw Dropping!!

    This was one of the books that hooked me into reading all over again. Once I began it was impossible to stop, twisting and turning this book gives you everything you need to feel all the emotions possible. I would recommend this book to anyone needing a rush of emotions ( love, friendship, hate, passion)

    A great book, belongs in any horror reader's collection

    Christine was a great story by Stephen King, and it was worth the money spent on it. The charecters feel very much alive, and you'll find yourself moved by how the charecters change. The story itself is a good one, and you'll really be thrilled by the car's rage on anyone who challenges it. To sum up, this book definitely belongs in your permanent library.

    Thrilling to the end

    I read the book Christine by Stephen King It was a #1 best seller when it came out in 1983. I liked this book, because the more I had read the book the harder it was for me to stop reading it. The book is about 500 pages and is a thrilling book to read. It is about this kid named Arine who buys a 1958 Plymouth fury. When he starts to repair the car it starts to fix itself when no one is around. It is scary when the car seeks revenge on the people the destroyed her by killing then in a gruesome way, and will attempt to kill anyone who gets in between her and Arine. This book is good for high school kids or collage kids since the main character is 17 years old and going into his senior year of high school. All I will say about the ending is that it has a bulldozer and it is at a garage/junkyard and it involves Christine.

    Unique Horror.There is nothing like an evil Plymouth Fury!

    The characters are well developed. The character of Dennis is very likable and when he felt fear, you felt fear. I had nightmares about Christine. The only other book of HORROR that gave me nightmares was Dracula. With that being said, Congratulations Stephen King on this vehicular masterpiece!I look forward to reading more of Stephen Kings books. The only other book I've read by King so far is his auto biography.

    Tooting Down The Highway Of Horror

    Christine started off wonderfully. The first half of the book is told in the first person viewpoint and it works perfectly. You can totally imagine yourself right there among the characters. You can feel what they¿re feeling. Then it changes track and shifts into third person. I knew this was going to happen, and I didn¿t have any problem with it at first. But then things got a little dull. I don¿t know, it just never really picked up speed for me. It did switch back to first person later on, but it was too late. Christine is a fine novel, and I¿m sure a lot of people will enjoy it. It just wasn¿t my cup of tea.

    A Very Awesome Book

    a good read

    People who are looking for gore will be disappointed and should not read this book. Basically, 'Christine' is about a possessed car. You don't own Christine. She owns you. In the book she owns the main character, Arnie Cunningham, a shy, geeky kid with not so nice looks. But then things turn around for him. Once he gets Christine, his pimply face clears up, his confidence is better and he becomes popular. He even ends up dating the prettiest cheerleader in the school. Arnie loves Christine. He'll do anything for her and no one should stand between him and his beloved car. But, later on in the book, of course, nothing goes without punishment and nothing goes without paying off dues. When Arnie got the car he, in a way gave up his soul. So now Christine controls him. Form then on the book is full of suspense and murder. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a good suspenseful and mysterious scare. The book is set up by not telling you the whole story piece by piece. It leaves you questioning what will happen next, which makes it even more suspenseful and scary. Stephen King does a good job in this book. What could easily have been a cheesy story of an evil car on a killing spree is instead a story of obsession, possession and the past of crimes that haunt the car forever.

    This is a well written book. Stephen King has a way of totally pulling you in the story and makeing you feel as if you are rideing shotgun in this story of a car who loves its owner, to death!

    A pretty good story

    I had trouble getting to sleep a few months back, so i decided to start reading at night. after plowing through various sports books, i needed something to read so i picked this book off my shelf (i got it from my aunt's house about 6 years ago). well i'm not giving away any plots, since you can find that in any other review, but i thought it was a great book for the young adult. not just about some possessed car, but a great story about teen angst, highschool, and friends.

    Chilling

    I thought that this was one of King's best books. This was his first novel that i read and from that point on I have been hooked. I know nothing about cars, but this book puts you in the front seat and lets you watch this innocent kid just metamorphisize into this creature trying to escape. Expertly written, I consider it a job well done.
