Meet the Amazing Family of Horror Writer Stephen King

Meet the Amazing Family of Horror Writer Stephen King

Stephen King is a lush imagination master. Any of his work is a cocktail of all genres. He represents an unusual fantasy, supernatural fiction, suspense, mesmerizing horror, and strong meaning inside. The Shining (1977) and The Green Mile (1996) writer has managed to become a total legend alive.

Date of Birth: September 21, 1947

Zodiac Sign: Virgo

The writer’s bio is no less interesting than his works. King has achieved world fame and recognition at a young age. However, his path was not so easy, full of pitfalls and family drama. His birth was a real miracle, as his mother could not have children. The relationship between his parents was weak. The second child did not contribute to the strengthening of it (they adopted their first boy).

King started writing from the age of seven after he found a box full of fantasy and horror books. His first story I Was a Teenage Grave Robber was published in the Comics Review in 1965. After this, the whole story begins and the writer started to work on his future masterpieces. But, what role did the family play for the king of horrors? Let’s find out everything about every important person in the life of Stephen King.

When Stephen was only two years old, his father left the house and did not return. His life remained unclear for a long time. Everything became discovered only in the late 1990s.
