After Stephen King’s parents separated, Stephen and his brother lived with their mom in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where his father’s family was at the time. At age 12, he and his family moved back to Durham, where he was born, to take care of his grandparents. It was there that King graduated from Lisbon Falls High School in 1966, going on to graduate from the University of Maine at Orono. During his college years, he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper, and later for men’s magazines. In the fall of 1971 King started working at the Hampden Academy High School as an English teacher. While King was there, he wrote his first book

Many of his books have broken record for the number of copies printed. And, of course, such sales have been extremely lucrative: one contract earned him a reported $30 million for just 4 books.

The longer King continues to write, the more authors we will have and the more movies and TV shows will be produced. Stephen King has inspired people to created new TV shows and movies that relate to King’s horror stories:
After all, without King, we wouldn’t have modern works like Stranger Things, whose adolescent ensemble directly channels the Loser’s Club, King’s ensemble of geeky preteen friends from It. Without The Shining, and Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece film adaptation, “Here’s Johnny!” would be a dead talk show catchphrase and parodies like the Simpsons’ annual Treehouse of Horror would be bereft of much of their material
