STEPHEN KING
Name: Stephen Edwin King
Born September 21, 1947 Portland, Maine, United States
Stephen Edwin King (born September 21, 1947) is an American author of more than
200 stories including over 50 bestselling horror and fantasy novels. King was
the 2003 recipient of The National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished
Contribution to American Letters, and his numerous literary awards place him
among the most-honored horror authors in recent history.

nonfiction book Danse Macabre, which chronicles several decades of notable works
in literature, cinema, television and radio. He has also written stories outside
the horror genre, including the novella collection Different Seasons, The Green

opus," The Dark Tower series. In the past, Stephen King has written under the
pen names Richard Bachman and (once) John Swithen.
