Stephen King, “11/22/63” Stephen King’s 75th birthday is celebrated on September 21 this year.

Throughout his on-going writing career Stephen wrote and published more than 50 novels, 11 collections of short stories, 5 essays, at least 2 graphic novels and 21 screenplays. Only this year he has already published 2 novels, and knowing him – he will not stop at that. King’s impact on horror fiction is already being researched by scholars such as John Sears and Tony Magistrale.

Be it a fear of death or something as simple as monsters and ghosts – King’s grasp of the concept of terror is absolutely striking.
