MY FAVOURITE AUTHOR

If there’s one writer who has consistently blown my mind and held my attention with every book, it would have to be Stephen King. From the classic horror stories like ‘The Shining’ and the quirky humor of his novella collections, King’s writing always resonates with me.

What I like most about Stephen King is his willingness to explore different genres, even if they are far removed from horror. He is fondly called the ‘ King of Horror’.

Born September 21, 1947, King King has received Bram Stoker Awards, World Fantasy Awards, and British Fantasy Society Awards. In 2003, the National Book Foundation awarded him the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.With over 200 published works, including 61 novels, King is one of the world’s most prolific and beloved authors.

For Stephen King fans, it is difficult to pinpoint just one favorite book, because there are so many great stories to choose from! Whether it is horror, fantasy, sci-fi, children’s literature, or other genres, King has something for everyone. His stories often deal with the macabre and fantastical, but his characters and settings are psychologically real. His books can transport readers to a completely different world full of his vivid characters.

King’s formula for learning to write well is: “Read and write four to six hours a day. If you cannot find the time for that, you can’t expect to become a good writer.” He sets out each day with a quota of 2000 words and will not stop writing until it is met.

I find his ability to tell a story, in both fiction and non-fiction, to be exceptional. King has an incredible mastery of language, both in prose and dialogue. His work is filled with metaphors, imagery, and an overall evocative power that draws the attention of the reader.
