A coluna é chamada de "The Pop Of King", uma refêrencia a "The King of Pop", ou seja Michael Jackson. Ele ainda oferece aos seus leitores um jornal interativo em The Official Stephen King Website.

Hauptsächlich ist die Serie nach wie vor für die ganze Familie konzipiert, während viele Werke von Stephen King ausschließlich für Erwachsene geeignet sind. Jedoch finden sich Bezüge zu King. * Elton Pope zitiert King in Love & Monsters: Erlösung und Verdammung sind das Selbe. Elton sagt, er habe das nie verstanden, bis er den Doctor kennenlernte, endlich erfuhr, wie seine Mutter wirklich starb und er schließlich LINDA verlor. * Amelia Williams ist der Name einer Nebenfigur in Kings Roman Menschenjagd, der in den Achziger Jahren erschien und mit Arnold Schwarzenegger verfilmt wurde. Hier ist Amelia jedoch eine unbescholtene Hausfrau, die durch einen schrecklichen Zufall die Geisel des Protagonisten Benjamin Richards wird und ihm fortan trotz der sozialen Gegensätze und ihrer eigenen Angst, bei seiner atemberaubenden Flucht zur Seite steht. * Der Revolvermann (Engl. Gunslinger) ist die Hauptfigur von Stephen Kings Romanreihe Der Dunkle Turm. King selbst bezeichnet die Reihe als das wichtigste Werk seines Lebens. Die Doctor Who Episode A Town Called Mercy verzeichnet außer dem offensichtlichen "Gunslinger" einige weitere Parallelen. In zwei Romanen zur Serie wird Stephen King jedoch namentlich erwähnt: * Als Kina plötzlich ganz anders ist und ihre Augen Blut unterlaufen sind macht sich Melanie Bush Sorgen.

  • Stephen King est un écrivain et scénariste américain né le 21 septembre 1947 à Portland, dans le Maine (États-Unis).

Il reçoit en 2003 la médaille de la National Book Foundation pour sa remarquable contribution à la littérature américaine et en 2007 l'association des auteurs de romans policiers américain "Mystery writers of America" lui décerne le titre de "Grand Master". King possède une grande connaissance de la littérature d'horreur, comme on peut le voir dans son essai Anatomie de l'horreur qui retrace plusieurs décennies d'un intérêt prononcé pour l'épouvante à travers la littérature, le cinéma, la télévision et la radio. Il a aussi écrit des ouvrages appartenant à d'autres genres comme les recueils de nouvelles Différentes Saisons, ou Cœurs perdus en Atlantide, et les romans La ligne verte, Les Yeux du dragon, et son magnum opus, la série La Tour sombre. Dans le passé Stephen King a écrit sous les noms de Richard Bachman et John Swithen (une seule fois sous ce dernier pseudonyme).

  • The current dominant author of the horror genre, Stephen King has added much to its stock of tropes. Many of his works reference each other, building up a larger universe. Known for being ludicrously prolific but also for producing far better writing than most people who pump out stories at his rate, and many who take a lot longer about it. Many of his books have been made into films. Few of those have been good films, and most of those that are good are, ironically, not horror films. This is often due to the directors of the given movies having no idea how to convey the thoughts of King's characters, which often affect their situations just as much as their actions, into workable scenes. King is also in a rock band with a shifting lineup of fellow writers (including Dave Barry, Amy Tan, Ridley Pearson, and Mitch Albom) called The Rock Bottom Remainders. For a list of his works which have pages on the wiki, see Works By Stephen King. * Carrie - Scrapbook Story about an abused girl with Psychic Powers who takes a terrible revenge after a Prank Date to the prom. King's wife stopped him from throwing the manuscript out and convinced him to finish it. Made into a movie by Brian De Palma that received two Academy Award nominations (for acting), which later received a sequel and a made-for-TV remake. It was also made into an infamously terrible musical that has become a byword for "flopped on Broadway". * Salem's Lot - Vampires in a small town in Maine, and the efforts of a few to get rid of them. Made into two TV miniseries. King's first visit to the Creepy Small Town, which he keeps coming back to, under a variety of names and states. Notable that his publisher advised him NOT to have this as his second book, lest he be pigeonholed as a horror novelist. Guess they got over it. * The Shining - Winter spent in a haunted hotel. Cabin fever taken to the extreme. Twice adapted as movies; first a loose adaptation by Stanley Kubrick, which King was not very satisfied with, then a more faithful TV miniseries scripted/watched over by King himself. The arguments about which version is "better" have been long and passionate. * Night Shift - Anthology of short stories, several of which have been adapted into movies: * Children of the Corn * Cat's Eye -- Featured three Stephen King stories including two from this anthology, "The Ledge" and "Quitters, Inc." * The Mangler * Trucks -- adapted twice, once as Maximum Overdrive and once more-faithfully as Trucks * The Lawnmower Man -- Very, very loosely... * Graveyard Shift * Dollar Babies -- King helps out independent filmmakers by selling the rights to use his short stories for a dollar and a VHS copy of the film. The rights revert back to him. Many of King's short stories have been filmed as Dollar Babies. * The Stand - After the End, good and evil clash as a dozen characters journey across the land. The unabridged version of The Stand could probably be used as one. Made into a TV miniseries, with a new feature film in the works, as well as a tie-in Comic Book series. * The Dead Zone - The protagonist is plagued by visions of a terrible future. Made into a movie starring Christopher Walken, and then served as loose inspiration for a TV series. Notable as a prominent American novel containing the "lone gunman" assassin figure as the main hero/protagonist. * Firestarter - Andy McGee and his daughter Charlie are on the run from the Government Conspiracy, which wants to use their psychic powers for their own nefarious uses. The father is a known factor, but they have no idea what Charlie is capable of. The story may have invented the psychic power of "pyrokinesis". Made into a movie starring George C. Scott and a young Drew Barrymore. * Cujo - Mother and son trapped in The Alleged Car by the titular rabid dog. Made into a movie by Lewis Teague, who would go on to direct Cat's Eye. By this point, King's substance abuse was so bad that he cannot remember writing this book. * The Dark Tower - First in The Dark Tower series starring a protagonist that embodies that exact trope, searching for the ultimate truth. * Different Seasons - Anthology of four novellas with Idiosyncratic Episode Subtitling * Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption (or, Hope Springs Eternal) - Hope springs eternal, even in prison. Made into the number one movie on IMDb's Top 250. * Apt Pupil (or, Summer of Corruption) - A teenage boy learns about the Holocaust right from the source. Made into a movie starring Sir Ian McKellen. * The Body (or, Fall from Innocence) - Four young friends trek into the woods to see another boy's corpse. Made into a movie under the title Stand by Me. * The Breathing Method (or, A Winter's Tale) - A woman wants to keep her child, no matter what. Has never been made into a movie, and it would probably be really hard to do so. * Christine - The Cool Car from Hell. Made into a film directed by John Carpenter. * Pet Sematary - Sometimes the dead walk. Sometimes, dead is better. Made into a movie. * Cycle of the Werewolf - A small Maine town is menaced by a werewolf over the course of a year. A sort of combination short novella and Graphic Novel, featuring illustrations by Bernie Wrightson (of Swamp Thing fame). Made into a movie, Silver Bullet. * The Talisman - Epic quest across America and its dimensional cousin, co-written with Peter Straub. A proposed movie adaptation has been in Development Hell since 1985 (with such names as Will Smith, Michael J. Fox, and Steven Spielberg being connected with the project at various times), but may now finally see light as a 2012 miniseries. * Skeleton Crew - Anthology of short stories that leads off with the recently adapted The Mist. * The Mist deserves some mention, as it has gone on to influence a number of likewise highly influential games, such as Half Life and Persona 4. Made into a movie starring Thomas Jane. * IT - A small Maine city is infected by an Eldritch Abomination disguised as a Monster Clown, and only the children know. Made into a TV miniseries most notable for Tim Curry's portrayal of said clown. * The Eyes of the Dragon - Fantasy fairy tale of a king imprisoned, a brother on the throne, and the Evil Chancellor who might be just a tad familiar. * Misery - Author held prisoner by deranged fan. King said that Misery is a metaphor for substance addiction, which he was struggling with at the time. Made into an Academy Award-winning movie (for acting). * The Dark Tower - Second Dark Tower book. The gunslinger calls his True Companions, and boundaries of worlds are crossed. * The Tommyknockers - A flying saucer slowly mutates a town's populace into aliens. Really stupid aliens...with absurdly advanced technology (as the book puts it, they're Thomas Edisons rather than Albert Einsteins). It's not a good combination. Like Misery, another excellent metaphor for addiction and co-dependency. In On Writing, King states that he did not intend the story to be a metaphor, but that his subconscious probably did. Made into a miniseries. * The Dark Half - A writer's pseudonym comes to life, and he's not happy. Yet another substance addiction metaphor, as explained by King in the introduction. Written just after King was "outed" as the man behind Richard Bachman, and inspired a little bit thereof. Made into a movie starring Timothy Hutton and directed by George Romero. Also, made into a Video Game nobody remembers anymore. * Four Past Midnight - Anthology of four novellas: * The Langoliers - Passengers on a flight going through a storm get stranded in a dying, empty copy of their world, with a strange noise growing closer... Made into a TV miniseries. * Secret Window, Secret Garden - An odd tale about the price of celebrity, in a way. Made into a movie (Secret Window), starring Johnny Depp. * The Library Policeman - Everybody's worst childhood fears about what happens when you lose a library book, except real and happening to adults. * The Sun Dog - A prequel to Needful Things, about a Polaroid camera with a dark power. * Needful Things - A shop with bargains galore, each at a terrible price. Made into a movie which starred Max von Sydow. * The Dark Tower - Third in the Dark Tower series. Roland's True Companions are completed, and travels through the decaying remains of a world that has moved on. * Geralds Game - Bondage gone wrong...as in, "husband dies of heart attack while wife is still handcuffed to the bed" wrong. You so wish someone had the stones to make this into a movie. First of the "abused wife" trilogy. * Dolores Claiborne - "Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman has to hold onto." Made into a movie starring Kathy Bates (Rotten Tomatoes gives it 87%). Second of the "abused wife" trilogy (explicitly connected by a solar eclipse and weird empathy to Gerald's Game). * Nightmares and Dreamscapes - Anthology of short stories, some of which were adapted for cable TV in a miniseries of the same name. * Insomnia - Elderly widower becomes involved in a struggle to determine the fate of the universe. No relation to the 1997 Norwegian movie thriller of the same title or its 2002 American remake with Al Pacino and Robin Williams. * Rose Madder - Abused wife escapes her cop husband, starts over in a new city. Husband finds her, but not before she finds help from someone. Or something. Third of the "abused wife" trilogy (subtly connected to Gerald and Dolores). * The Green Mile - Jesus reincarnates, is killed again. Made into a movie starring Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan. * Desperation - AU version of The Regulators. Travelers get caught in the wrong desert, in the wrong little town, at the absolute worst time. Made into a TV movie featuring Ron Perlman as the crazy demon-possessed sheriff. * Wizard and Glass - Fourth The Dark Tower book, mainly revolving around Roland's former ka-tet and his personal I Let Gwen Stacy Die. * Bag of Bones - A grieving widower returns to his old vacation home since his wife's death only to realize it's nestled in a Town with a Dark Secret. Made into a two-part movie aired on A&E. * The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon - A little girl gets lost in the Appalachians...with no supplies...for weeks. Made into a pop-up book. * Hearts in Atlantis - Vietnam-era story anthology. First story was made into a movie. * Dreamcatcher - Four old friends get stuck out in the forest on a hunting trip, right when the aliens land. Made into a movie. * Black House - Sequel to The Talisman, again co-written with Peter Straub. * From a Buick 8 - Rural Pennsylvania police keep a car - or some thing shaped like one - secreted away from John Q Public. After finishing it, King was hit by a van while the driver was throwing meat to his dogs and nearly died. He worked the accident into the Dark Tower books that he had yet to write. * Everything's Eventual - Anthology of short stories, including the following: * 1408 - An author attempts a stay in a haunted hotel room; things only get worse for him from then on out. Made into a movie starring John Cusack. * Riding the Bullet - A man trying to hitchhike to his dying mother's side hitches a ride with a terrifying man. Originally an eBook, also made into a film. * Everything's Eventual - A young man is hired by a shadowy individual to send emails that make the recipients commit suicide. * The Little Sisters of Eluria - A Dark Tower side story, where Roland meets some strange vampires. * Wolves of the Calla - Fifth Dark Tower book. * Song of Susannah - Sixth Dark Tower book. * The Dark Tower - Seventh and last (chronologically speaking) Dark Tower book. * The Colorado Kid - Murder mystery that ends as unsolved as ever. Served as loose inspiration for the Syfy television series Haven. * Cell - A cellphone-based Zombie Apocalypse. A movie adaptation is currently mired in Development Hell. * Liseys Story - A love story with a horrific edge; King's examination of what his wife's life might have been like if he had been killed in the car accident. * Duma Key - A man discovers his paintings can alter reality. * Just After Sunset - His newest anthology of short fiction. * N. - A psychiatrist finds himself pulled into his dead patient's delusion. Adapted into a multi-part cutout-animated video series before publication. * Under the Dome - A town comes apart at the seams after it's enclosed inside a mysterious barrier. * Blockade Billy - Story of a baseball player mysteriously erased from the record books...and for a pretty good reason. * Full Dark No Stars - A collection of four short stories. * Eleven Twenty Two Sixty Three - Man travels back in time to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy.We'll see how it goes. * The Dark Tower - The eighth book in The Dark Tower series, but serves as an interquel to Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla. * Dr. Sleep - A forthcoming sequel to The Shining. Aside from his own work, King also wrote a number of novels under the Pen Name of Richard Bachman: * Rage - A kid commits a school shooting and has a strange discussion with his classmates. Written long before the events at Columbine High School. No longer in print by King's request. * The Long Walk - In a dystopian alternate version of 1980s America, the government runs a contest every year: 100 teenaged male contestants, selected from thousands of entrants nationwide, are sent on the titular journey down the Eastern Seaboard. The rules are simple: Walk. Do not leave the road. Maintain a speed of at least 4 miles per hour. Fall under that speed and draw a warning. Fall under that speed with 3 warnings and you are shot. Last walker alive wins his heart's desire. The story follows one year's group of 100, with predictable results. * Roadwork - The planned demolition of a man's home for a highway extension sends him on a seemingly irrevocable path of self-destruction. * The Running Man - Lower-class worker trying to pay daughter's medical bills in dystopian USA enters a game show designed to test the effectiveness of the police state. They hunt him, he evades them. If caught, he will be killed. Halfway through, he discovers that the game is rigged. Ends with wife vilified and murdered and daughter dead, but it's okay, because at the very end he crashes a plane into the skyscraper where the game show host is working. The plot of the movie adaptation (with Arnold Schwarzenegger) does not bear very much relation to this description; it handles some of the same elements, but plays them as parts of a glitzy Game Show rather than the more straight dystopian nightmare of the book. * These first four were originally released individually, and then reprinted in an omnibus titled The Bachman Books. * Thinner - Obese lawyer is hit with a Gypsy Curse, causing him to rapidly lose weight. Adapted into a movie. * The Regulators - AU version of Desperation. A suburban summer afternoon gets very deadly very fast. Best known for being absolutely batshit insane. One character described it best as "Alice in Wonderland but the Nine Inch Nails version." * Blaze - A mentally deficient conman kidnaps a millionaire's child. Marketed as a "posthumous" work of Bachman; actually a rewritten and edited version of a lost King manuscript that predates even Carrie. In addition, King has also produced several non-fiction works of note: * Danse Macabre - An examination of horror and science fiction based on King's personal experience, including his personal Nightmare Fuel and a rant about horror movies not influencing people to commit real world horrors. * Faithful - A collaboration of lighter mood than his fiction that follows the 2004 Boston Red Sox to their first World Series win in eight decades. * On Writing - An autobiography and a how-to for up-and-coming authors. King has also written the screenplays for several TV miniseries: * Golden Years: An elderly janitor at a top-secret research base gets caught in an accidental explosion and begins reverse-aging. * Rose Red: Haunted house tale where the manse in question literally has a life of its own...and won't stop growing. * Storm of the Century: An evil wizard arrives on a small Maine island during the titular storm; if the townsfolk give him what he wants, he'll go away... * Kingdom Hospital: Eerie goings-on at a Maine hospital. An Americanization of Lars von Trier's Riget, combining supernatural horror with Medical Drama and a touch of Black Comedy. King also wrote the screenplay for the 1992 film Sleepwalkers, collaborated with George Romero on the 1982 theatrical anthology film Creepshow (as well as its sequel Creepshow 2 and the sequel-in-all-but-name Tales from the Darkside: The Movie), and went behind the camera to direct the 1986 film Maximum Overdrive, adapted from his Night Shift story "Trucks", in which people are menaced by trucks and other vehicles that are brought to murderous life by radiation from a comet. Ironically, the story was later adapted again, rather more faithfully, under the original title. He is also part of a rotation of featured columnists in Entertainment Weekly magazine.
