stephen king's books

Stephen Edwin King (born September 21, 1947) is an American author of contemporary horror, fantasy and science fiction. Having sold an estimated 300–350 million copies of his books, King is best known for his work in horror fiction, in which he demonstrates a thorough knowledge of the genre's history. Many of his stories have been adapted for other media, including movies, television series and comic books. King has written a number of books using the pen name "Richard Bachman" and one short story where he was credited as "John Swithen". In 2003 he received The National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. Many of King's novels and short stories have been made into major motion pictures or TV movies and miniseries. Unlike some authors, King is untroubled by movies based on his works differing from the original work. He has contrasted his books and its film adaptations as "apples and oranges; both delicious, but very different." The exception to this is The Shining, which King criticized when it was released in 1980; and The Lawnmower Man (he sued to have his name removed from the credits). King seems to have gained greater appreciation for Kubrick's The Shining over the years. Kubrick had described the original novel in an interview as not "literary," having its merits exclusively in the plot. This understandably may have upset King. As a film, The Lawnmower Man bore no resemblance whatsoever to King's original short story. King's name was used solely as a faux-brand. In Roger Ebert's review of the 2004 movie Secret Window, he states "A lot of people were outraged that [King] was honored at the National Book Awards, as if a popular writer could not be taken seriously. But after finding that his book On Writing had more useful and observant things to say about the craft than any book since Strunk and White's The Elements of Style, I have gotten over my own snobbery." some of his famous books are An evening at gods, autopsy room four, bchman books, beach world, before the play, big wheels a tale of the laundry game, carrie, chattery teeth, crouch end, cujo,  cycle of the werewolf, dolores clairborne, dreamcatcher, four past midnight, gramma, head down, home delivery, hotel at the end of the road, in the key, it, it grows on you, ive got to get away, jhonathan and the witches, L.T.'s theory of pets, lunch at the gotham cafe, never look behind you, night shift, the blue air compressor, the cat from hell, the crate, the cursed expedition, the dark man, the dark tower, the dead zone, the doctor's case, the end of the whole mess, the fifth quarter, the girl who loved tom gordon, the green mile, the hardcase speaks, the house on maple street, the jaunt, the leprechaun, the man in the black suit, the man who would not shake hands, the mist, the monkey, the moving finger, the other side of the fog,  the plant, the reach, the reaper's image, the regulators, the shining, the stranger, the ten O'clock people, the thing at the bottom of the well, the tommy knockers, thinner, uncle otto's truck, word processor of the gods, you know they go a hell of a band.
