Stephen Edwin King was born in Portland, ME, on September 21, 1947, two years after his parents had adopted David. When he was only 2, his merchant seamen father went out to buy a pack of cigarettes. His father never came back. Parts of his childhood were spent in Fort Wayne, IN, where his father's family was at the time, and Stratford, CT. When he was 11, his mother brought him and his brother back to Durham, ME, for good.
He wrote his first story at the ripe old age of 7 and had his first piece published in a magazine when he was 12. He attended grammar school at Durham and then the Lisbon Falls High School where he joined the football team and a local rock band. But he never gave up on what he loved doing most of all...writing. He graduated high school in 1966 and his story The Glass Floor was published by Startling Mystery Stories the very next year.
He went to college at the University of Maine at Orono where he served as a member of the student senate and wrote a weekly column for the university newspaper, The Maine Campus. He also came to support the anti-Vietnam war movement on campus. Immediately after graduation from UMO, the draft board called him in for examination. He obliged but, due to high blood pressure, limited vision, flat feet, and punctured eardrums, was classified as a 4-F (meaning he would be among the last called for enlistment).
In the stacks of the Fogler Library at UMO, he worked alongside his wife-to-be, Tabitha Spruce. He graduated from UMO in 1970 with a bachelor's in English, but was forced to take a job at an industrial laundry while searching for teaching positions. On January 2, 1971, he and Tabitha married. After a time at the laundry, he moved on to janitoring then, in the fall of 1971, became a high school English teacher at Hamden Academy. He never stopped writing. Between attending a high school and teaching a high school, he wrote several novels, but received only rejection notices from the publishers he approached.
In the summer of 1973, he moved his growing family to southern Maine, renting a summer home on Sebago Lake in North Windham for the winter. The following spring saw the publication of a novel that his wife Tabitha rescued from the trash. The novel was Carrie. In the fall of 1974, he and the family moved to Boulder, CO, and lived there just under a year. In the summer of 1975, he bought a home in western Maine where they lived until 1977. Then they went to England for three months and returned in December and bought a house in Center Lovell, ME. In the autumn of 1978 they moved to Orrington so he could teach creative writing at UMO. They returned to Center Lovell in 1979 and the next year bought a second winter home in Bangor, keeping the Center Lovell house for a summer home. Luckily, all this moving didn't phase his writing abilities; in fact, it often inspired him.
In the years that followed Carrie, amid the many relocations, he and Tabitha raised three children (Joseph Hillstrom, Owen Phillip, and Naomi Rachael) while King penned hit after hit. Scores more short stories, novellas, novels, and screenplays entertained the public, some written under the pseudonym Richard Bachman and at least one under the pseudonym John Swithen. Now the hallmark of the horror genre, King maintains one of the brightest, most amazing careers in modern literary history.

Stiven Edvin King je bio rođen u Portlandu, ME, 21 septembra 1947, dve godine posle usvajanja njegovog brata Dejvida. Kada je imao dve godine, njegov otac, pomorski trgovac, je izašao da kupi paklu cigareta. Njegov otac se nikada nije vratio. Deo svog detinjstva je proveo u Fort Vejnu, IN, gde se tada nalazila porodica njegovog oca, i u Stretfordu, CT. Kada je imao 11 godina, njegova majka ga je zajedno sa njegovim bratom vratila u Durham, ME za njihovo dobro.
Napisao je voju prvu priču sa 7 godina i njegovo prvo delo je objavljeno u magazinu kada je imao 12. Ušao je u gimnaziju u Durhamu, i posle u srednju školu u Lizbonu gde je bio deo fudbalskog tima i član rok benda. Ali, nikada nije odustao od onoga što je najviše voleo.. od pisanja. Maturirao je 1966 i njegovu priču "Stakleni Pod" sue objavili u jednom od brojeva "Startling Mystery Stories" sledeće godine.
Išao je na koledž na Univezitetu Mejn u Oronu gde je služio kao član senata studenata a pisao nedeljno kolmnu za unverzitetske novine, "The Maine Campus". Takođe je podržavao pokret protiv Vijetnamskog rata u kampusu. Odmah posle diplomiranja, regrutujući odbor mu je uputio poziv. Iako je došao na pregled, zbog visokog pritiska, ravnih stopala limited vision, flat feet, i probušenih ušiju, bio je okarakterisan kao 4-F (što znači da bi bio mežu poslednjima koji bi bili pozvanii za regrutovanje).
U Foglerskoj biblioteci na UMO, radio je rame uz rame sa njigovom budućom ženom, Tabithom Sprus. Diplomirao je 1970 godine sa diplomom iz engleskog jezika, ali je biio prinuđen da prihvati posao kao pralja veša dok je tražio mesto očitelja. 2. januara 1971, on i Tabita su se venčali. Posle nekog vremena rada nad vešom, dobio je posao kao domar, i posle u jesen 1971 dobio posao učitelja u srednjoj školi na Hamden Akademiji. Nikada nije prestao da piše. Između njegove srednje škole i njegovog predavanja u srednjoj školi, napisao je nekoliko romana, ali ni jedan izdavač nije bio zainteresovan za njegov rad.
U leto 1973, preselio je svoju porodicu u južni Mejn, i zimi bi iznajmio letnju kuću na jezeru Sebago u severnom Vindamu. Sledeće proleće je video objavljivanje njegovog romana koji je njegova žena spasila iz đubreta, "Kari". 1074, on i njeova porodica se sele u Boulder, CO, i živeli tamo jedava ogdinu dana. U leto 1975, kupio je kuću u zapadnom Mejnu gde su živelo do 1977. Onda su otputovali za Englesku na tri meseca i vratili se u decembru i kupili kuću u centralnom Lovelu, ME. U jesen 1978 preselili su se u Orington da bi on mogao da predaju kreativno pisanje na UMO-u. Vratili su se u centralni Lovel 1979 i sledeće godine kupili drugu zimsku kuću u Bangoru, ali čuvajući svoju staru kuću u Lovelu kao letnju kuću. Srećom, ove mnogobrojne selidbe nisu uticale na njegovo pisanje. Štaviše, često su ga i inspirisale.
U godinama koje su usledile posle "Keri", uprkos mnogih selidbi, on i Tabita su podigli troje dece (Džozefa Hilstorma, Ovena Filipa i Naomi Rejčel) dok je King nizao hit za hitom. Lak uspeh mnogih kratkih priča, novela, romana i scenarija su privlačili publiku. Neka dela su bila napisana i pod pseudonimom 'Ričard Bekman' i jedno pod pseudonimom 'Džon Sviten'. Pod žigom žanra horora, King održava jednu od najsjajnijih, najneverovanijih karijera u istoriji moderne književnosti.
Valjda nema mnogo grešaka...

Moj najomiljeniji pisac, naklon za autora teme .
Najbolje njegove knjige su mi To, Utočište, Talisman, Isijanje, Crna kuća..
od filmova koji su snimljeni po njegovim delima najači su mi Izmaglica i
Isijanje.. čovek sjajno barata ljudskom psihom i strahom..
Mračnu kulu nisam čitao nažalost, nekako mi se ne da započinjati delo sa toliko knjiga.. čuo sam da je rađen i strip po Revolverašu, ne znam da li i po ostalim delovima ?

Ah... Stiven King je jedan od mojih najboljih drugara jos odmalena , kada su me tata i tetka upoznali sa njegovim delima (tada jos samo na ekranu, doduse). Imam finu kolekciju njegovih knjiga, mislim da imam skoro sve sto je kod nas izdato, a trenutno sam u fazi citanja gorepomenute Mracne Kule (trenutno knjiga 4 - Carobnjak i staklo) i moram prijaviti da mi se dopada. Ne volim bas da se igram one cuvene igre "omiljena mi je..." kada je King u pitanju, ali ako bas moram, izdvojila bih Salem's Lot (kod nas prevedena kao Salemovo), Mobilni telefon, Izmaglicu, It... Joj... stvarno mi je tesko da izdvajam, kad bolje razmislim. Cini mi se da sam videla da je nedavno izasao prvi deo Stand-a ("Uporiste" - valjda je to - to ), i to se pod hitno mora nabaviti jer mi je to, naime, mozda cak i omiljeni njegov film (tj. film snimljen po njegovom romanu )...
Udavih... izvinjavam se!
