Take an intimate tour through the life and works of Stephen King, made vivid with rare photos and ephemera from King's personal collection.

Even if you are a die-hard fan, you will find something new in this beautifully packaged Stephen King reference that you will return to again and again. Timed to celebrate Stephen King's 75th birthday on September 21, 2022, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences reveals the inspiration behind the prolific author's brilliant works of horror through a combination of photos and documents from King's archives and an engaging account of the stories behind how his novels, novellas, short stories, and adaptations came to be.

It might sound like a tall tale that Stephen King once met a bartender named Grady in an empty hotel in Colorado, or that the celebrated author helped his young daughter bury her cat in a nearby pets sematary after it was killed on a busy roadway. In this book, discover how King drew on these and more real personal experiences and mundane life events, then employed his extraordinary imagination to twist them into something horrific.

From impoverished university student to struggling schoolteacher to one of the best-selling--and most recognizable--authors of all time, this engrossing book reveals the evolution and influences of Stephen King's body of work over his nearly 50-year career, and how the themes of his writing reflect the changing times and events within his life.

An expansion of Stephen King expert Bev Vincent's The Stephen King Illustrated Companion, this fully revised, redesigned, and updated book includes:
