About The Author

Richard Bachman

STEPHEN KING is the author of more than seventy books, all of them worldwide bestsellers.

During the years 1966-1973, just before he published the seminal masterpiece Carrie, Stephen King wrote under two names. Under his pseudonym Richard Bachman, King wrote horror stories for magazines, followed by a series of novels, first published in the early 80s in the collection The Bachman Books. It was on publication of his next novel Thinner that people realised the author was in fact Stephen King.

King’s recent bestsellers include Holly, You Like It Darker and Never Flinch. Many of his titles are the basis for major motion pictures, TV series and streamed events, including IT, The Institute, The Life of Chuck and The Shawshank Redemption, which is IMDb’s top-rated movie of all time.

King is the recipient of The Sunday Times Award for Literary Excellence 2022, the 2020 Audio Publishers Association Lifetime Achievement Award, the 2018 PEN America Literary Service Award, the 2014 National Medal of Arts, and the 2003 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. He lives in Maine, with his wife, novelist Tabitha King.
