That is a pretty bold statement you may say.Well I am not the only person who thinks so.
The blurb on Stephen King's "Hearts in Atlantis" states ...
"Stephen King, whos first novel, Carrie, was published in 1974, the year before the last US troops withdrew from Vietnam, is the first hugely popular writer of the TV generation."
And Guardian states that he is "One of the great story tellers of our time"
Looking back at my personal copy of Carrie Stephen clearly thanks his wife Tabitha for her support."This is for Tabby, who got me into it- and then bailed me out of it"
And in his own musings on writing, horror in particular, Stephen King manages to bind what could be a dry and tasteless subject into a mesmerising visual symphony. Everything you will ever want or need to know about writing a novel (especially if you want to write horror successfully) can be found beneath the covers of these two books.
If you havent already done it I would highly reccomend reading BARE BONES Conversations on terror with Stephen King. edited by Tim Underwood and Chuck Miller and DANSE MACABRE by Stephen King.
This man is one of the top ten Authors of all time and number one on the list for HORROR.
