Detailed explanation-1: -The Shining (1977) King’s personal life largely influences the setting and the protagonist of this horror thriller. The story follows Jack Torrance, a struggling writer and recovering alcoholic who takes up a temp job as an off-season caretaker at the historic Overlook Hotel in Colorado.
Detailed explanation-2: -His literary oeuvre includes 61 novels, 5 non-fiction books, and approximately 200 short stories. Even though King is known for his works of horror, his writing talent is not restricted to the particular genre only. He has some non-horror and non-scary books to his name as well that are liked by his fans.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Long Walk Was Stephen King’s First Novel, But Carrie Was Published First. Stephen King’s career as a horror author began when he sold his first short story, “The Glass Floor”, to Startling Mystery Stories in 1967, but he started working on his first novel not long before that.
