Amazon.com Stephen King Book Section
As an author, King not only focuses on things that go bump in the night
but he also throws in things that go bump in our psyches. Man and his dog?
In a King novel, it's Cujo, a rabid beast who won't settle for a
Milk-Bone. Man and his car? Christine, a car with an unlimited warranty
for evil. A fan's admiration for an artist? It's all Misery to King.
King started on the road to scary stories early, becoming something of
a connoisseur of '50s horror films.His interest was first piqued by a collection
of fantasy novels that had belonged to his father. (Daddy deserted the
family when Stephen was a tot.) King started writing when he was still
a child, and as a
teenager he sold a couple of short stories to a mystery magazine.
But it wasn't all blood and guts: the young Stephen also played in
a rock band and for his high school football team. After completing his
education, King briefly taught high school English.
When Carrie pushed him into the big time, King was just 27 years
old. His brand of storytelling captured the public imagination right away,
and he proved he was no flash in the pan with his next two books, 'Salem's
Lot, a modern vampire story, and The Shining, about the queen mother of
haunted houses. Besides living a quiet family life in Maine, King has resurrected
his youth long enough to form a band, the Rock Bottom Remainders, with
fellow authors Dave Barry, Amy Tan, Robert Fulghum, Matt Groening, and
Roy Blount Jr. In June 1999, King was out for a walk near his home and
was severely injured when the driver of a minivan lost control of his car.
He suffered a broken hip and a punctured lung, but since then has resumed
writing and keeps his fans informed of his recovery on his official Web
site.
Richard Bachman
"Richard Bachman" was created to keep the book market from being
oversaturated with Stephen King titles. But King himself has said: "Richard
Bachman began his career not as a delusion but as a sheltered place where
I could publish a few early books which I felt readers might like. Then
he began to grow and come alive, as the creatures of a writer's imagination
so frequently do.
I began to imagine his life as a dairy farmer; his wife, the beautiful
Claudia Inez Bachman...." Bachman's true identity remained a secret for
many years, until a bookstore clerk did a little research and discovered
who Bachman really was.
Bachman's official biography: he was born in New York, but his early years are a mystery. As a young man, Bachman served a four-year stint in the Coast Guard, which he then followed with 10 years in the merchant marine. Bachman finally settled down in rural central New Hampshire, where he ran a medium-size dairy farm. He did his writing at night (he suffered from chronic insomnia) after the cows came home. Bachman and his wife, Claudia Inez Bachman, had one child, a boy, who died in an unfortunate, Stephen King-type accident at the age of 6. He apparently fell into a well and drowned. In 1982, a tumor was discovered near the base of Bachman's brain; tricky surgery removed it. Bachman however, didn't live long after that, dying suddenly in late 1985 of cancer of the pseudonym, a rare form of schizonomia.

I took a course in speed reading. Then I got Reader's Digest on microfilm. By the time I got the machine set up, I was done.
I just got out of the hospital. I was in a speed reading accident. I hit a book mark and flew across the room.
