I am reviewing a copy of Stephen King A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences through Quarto Publishings and Netgalley:





This book will allow you to explore the evolution and influences of Stephen King’s body of work over his nearly 50-year career, and discover how the themes of his writing reflect the changing times and events within his life.




Timed for Stephen Kings Seventy fifth birthday on September. 21.2022, Stephen King features archival photos as well as documents from Stephen Kings personal collection, these photos enhance the story behind how his novels, novellas, short stories, and adaptations came to be.





It likely sounds like a tall tale, but it isn’t, once Stephen King the celebrated author helped his young daughter bury her cat in a nearby “pets sematary” after it was killed on a busy roadway.   The magic of King comes from his ability to draw on personal experience and mundane life events and then twist them into something horrific. With critically acclaimed titles that have also been turned into blockbuster sensations like The Shining, It, and Carrie, King's work has stood the test of time across decades. This history of the writer's struggles, triumphs, bestsellers, lesser-known stories, collaborations, and more makes the perfect addition to any Stephen King fan’s collection.





I give Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
