Stephen King: Stories
built 199 days ago
Stephen King is a lifelong fan of the Boston Red Sox. He regularly visits home and away games. King helped coach his son Owen's Bangor West team, which won the Main Little League Championship in 1989. This encounter is retold in the story Head Down, which appeared in the New Yorker, and Nightmares and Dreamscapes. King regards Head Down as his best piece of nonfiction writing.

The next-to-last novel in Stephen King's seven-volume magnum opus, Song of Susannah is at once a book of revelation, a fascinating key to the unfolding mystery of the Dark Tower, and a fast-paced story of double-barreled suspense. To give birth to her "chap," demon-mother Mia has usurped the body of Susannah Dean and used the power of Black Thirteen to transport to New York City in the summer of 1999. more info>> 2004

All good things must come to an end, Constant Reader, and not even Stephen King can make a story that goes on forever. The tale of Roland Deschain's relentless quest for the Dark Tower has, the author fears, sorely tried the patience of those who have followed it from its earliest chapters. But attend to it a while longer, if it pleases you, for this volume is the last, and often the last things are best. Roland's ka-tet remains intact, though scattered over wheres and whens. more info>> 2004-09-21

Stephen King wrote a number of novels during this time. He wrote a story about a young girl with psychic powers. He was unhappy and threw the story in the trash. His wife Tabitha rescued it and encouraged him to finish it. Once completed he titled the story Carrie, and sent it to Doubleday, the publishers. He later received a small offer to buy the story. After the real value of Carrie was realized the rights where sold for $400,000.
