Stephen King is one of the greatest horror authors ever. King wrote books like The Shining, IT, Pet Sematary, and Cujo.
Here is a link to his website: Stephen King's Website
Stephen King has lived quite a life. In 1999, he got hit by a van near his home. He suffered from a collapsed lung, a broken hip, a gash to the head and a leg broken in nine places. Afterward, King and his lawyer bought the van for $1,500 and when King was better, he wailed on it with a baseball bat before sending it to be crushed at a junkyard.
He is also a HUGE fan of the Boston Red Sox (my favorite baseball team).
King had a serious drug issue in the 80's. Thank the Lord that he recovered and went on to write more masterpieces.
King suffers from triskaidekaphobia, or the fear of the number 13.
FUN FACT! NASA's moon mission, Apollo 13, was launched at 13:13, from pad 39, and was later aborted on April 13. (for more facts about triskaidekaphobia, go to this link: Triskaidekaphobia.
King has written over 49 full length novels, 7 pen named books, 5 non-fiction texts and 5 short story collections.
Well, that's a quick overview of Stephen King's life in a nutshell. Thanks for reading!
