I am the literary equivalent of a Big Mac and fries.
Stephen King

Stephen King
Image

Stephen King
Image
I've been typed as a horror writer, and I've always said to people, I don't care what you call me as long as the checks don't bounce and the family gets fed.
Stephen King
Image
Well, I'm like a drug addict, I'm always saying I'm going to stop, and then I don't, what I've said consistently is that I hope I know when to stop: when it starts to get repetitive.
Stephen King
Image
I know life is hard, I think everyone knows that in their hearts, but why dos it have to be cruel, as well? Why does it have to bite?
Stephen King
Image
And in the gunslinger's mind, those words echoed: You dare not.
Stephen King
Image
I think it's relatively easy for people to accept something like telepathy or precognition or teleplasm because their willingness to believe doesn't cost them anything. It doesn't keep them awake nights. But the idea that the evil that men do lives after them is unsettling.
Stephen King
Image
Time apparently did nothing but blunt grief’s sharpest edge so that it hacked rather than sliced.
Stephen King
Image
There is no Idea Dump, no Story Central, no Island of the Buried Bestsellers good stories seem to come quite literally from nowhere, sailing at you right out of the empty sky.
