I read my first Stephen King book at age 13, The Dark Half. And I loved it. It terrified and enthralled me, and I was instantly hooked. My next book was his infamous 'IT'. Even though I was 13 I could identify with his characters. Many of them were my age, after all. But he wrote the truth. And that is was synched my obsession.
I really think when it comes to the King, it all depends on the kid. Every child matures at a different rate, regardless of age. At 13 I was ready and his books thrilled me. To this day, his writing still inspires me and his stories never grow old. The profanity, the sexuality, the Horror is intense, but most kids by age 13 have already heard the bad words (not just at school, but often at home as well!) If your child wants to read Stephen King, you can always compromise on one of his tamer short stories! Trust your instincts. You know what's best for your child.
Stephen king is not dead yet. He has a new book coming out next month.
His first novel was published in 1974, but started at the age of 7, was inspired by his aunts horror books that he found in a box in his aunts attic.
Well, the answer to that depends on the year. If it's 2010, I know that they'll be remaking Stephen King's IT in 2010/2011.
All I know is that Stephen King's Christine the movie, was published in 1983.
Stephen King did not direct the movie "It." The 2017 adaptation was directed by Andy Muschietti.
The two books were written and published at the same time, the two stories are "mirror universes" of each other. They can be read in either order.
Um, yeah.
Insomnia, by Stephen King, was published in 1994.
Stephen King was never killed, he is still alive and is 62 year old. In your question, you only put 'stephen' and not 'Stephen King' so you may be thinking of another Stephen so try typing your question differently and maybe you will get a better answer :)
Stephen King's novel "It" was originally published by Viking Press in 1986. The following year it was published in mass market paperback by Penguin Group Incorporated.
