Now known worldwide for his horror creations in best-selling books and popular film adaptations, Stephen King spent years in obscurity trying to find his voice and his audience. For much of his career he chose to remain in the small-town Maine of his youth, far from glittering publishing and film centers, yet few American writers can now equal his hold on audiences worldwide. This biography traces King's evolution from would-be pulp magazine writer to master of his craft, whose work both epitomizes and transcends the horror genre.

A fascinating look at the life of the author who created such modern classics as Carrie, IT, and The Shining. One of the most prolific and popular authors in the world today, Stephen King has become part of pop culture history. But who is the man behind those tales of horror, grief, and the supernatural? Where do these ideas come from? And what drives him to keep writing at a breakneck pace after a thirty year career? In this unauthorized biography, Lisa Rogak reveals the troubled background and lifelong fears that inspire one of the twentieth century's most influential authors. King's origins were inauspicious at best. His impoverished childhood in rural Maine and early marriage hardly spelled out the likelihood of a blossoming literary career. But his unflagging work ethic and a ceaseless flow of ideas put him on the path to success. It came in a flash, and the side effects of sudden stardom and seemingly unlimited wealth soon threatened to destroy his work and, worse, his life. But he survived and has since continued to write at a level of originality few authors could ever hope to match. Despite his dark and disturbing work, Stephen King has become revered by critics and his countless fans as an all-American voice more akin to Mark Twain than H. P. Lovecraft. Haunted Heart chronicles his story, revealing the character of a man who has created some of the most memorable---and frightening---stories found in literature today. Stephen King on Stephen King: "I'm afraid of everything." "As a kid, I worried about my sanity a lot." "I am always interested in this idea that a lot of fiction writers write for their fathers because their fathers are gone." "Writing is an addiction for me." "I married her for her body, though she said I married her for her typewriter." "When you get into this business, they don't tell you you'll get cat bones in the mail." "You have to be a little nuts to be a writer." "There's always the urge to see somebody dead that isn't you."

O escritor de Maine, como muitos o chamam, estava predestinado a ser o melhor escritor de terror da história. Assim o demonstra em sua carreira literária. Apesar de ter que suportar centenas de recusas de seus primeiros contos e livro, o destino estava escrito: a prego que suportava as cartas de rejeição cairam finalmente no chão. Stephen King começou a escrever bem jovem aos oito anos de idade, e publicaria no início seus primeiros contos. Liam os meninos da sua escola. Não foi nada fácil chegar até a publicação de "Carrie", livro com o qual inicia seu lançamento profissional. Anteriormente substituia com muitos e variados trabalhos, e os cheques que cobrava por seus contos. A morte e o medo sempre estiveram a seu lado desde que cavava fossas no cemitério local na sua adolescência, com seu primeiro trabalho pago. Sua tenacidade e constância o fizeram ser reconhecido como o "Rei", tributo a seu sobrenome "King" que o caía bem. Aqui descobrirás seu início: desde sus tataravôs, avós, seus pais, a pobreza, a caixa de manuscritos de seu pai, seus primeiros contos, a época que não quer lembrar do instituto, a universidade, seus primeiros livros, seu trabalho como professor de língua inglesa, seu alter ego, seus problemas... e finalmente seu sucesso entra as massas. Este é um estudo de sua primeira etapa, a mais pura de Stephen King, a que nos marcou e a todos por assim o chamarmos de o rei do terror. Um dia seu dedo caiu ao azar sobre um mapa dos Estados Unidos, no Colorado sobre o Hotel Stanley. e prosseguiu o destino que tinha marcado para seguir. Advinhe qual história é essa?

ABOUT THE BOOK For the past forty years, one name has dominated the world of horror fiction: Stephen King. King has produced fiction at a lightening speed since the publication of his first book, Carrie, in 1973. Throughout his tenure as one of the greatest American horror writers, he has published forty-nine novels, nine collections of short stories, and eleven screenplays. King's works have also served as the inspiration for numerous Hollywood films. Though many people think King's corpus of literature belongs solely to the horror category, several of his works are actually fantasy and psychological thrillers. King largely bases his books in small-town America. In an interview with the Paris Review entitled "Stephen King, The Art of Fiction," King said, "If you go back over the books from Carrie on up, what you see is an observation of ordinary middle-class American life as it's lived at the time that particular book was written." King's mastery of relating how ordinary people deal with difficult, sometimes even supernatural situations, has earned him a loyal following over the years. Though King's career has been successful and prolific, his life has not been without hardship. Indeed, King has been quite candid about his battles with alcohol, marijuana and cocaine. In 1999, King was struck by van and endured a long, painful journey to recovery. Now in his sixties, King is able to reflect on his life and career with honesty, and, at times, amusement. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK One of the most common questions posed to Stephen King is, "Where do you get your inspiration?" King says that often it comes in a fleeting moment, when he joins two seemingly unrelated ideas that just seem to click in his mind. For Carrie, King paired the idea of a lonely teenage outcast with telekinesis, or the ability to move things purely with the power of the mind. When King was first writing Carrie, he initially threw away the manuscript, thinking he could not write a book from the point of view of a troubled teenage girl. Tabitha encouraged her husband to finish the work, and once the book was accepted by Doubleday, King’s career was off and running. King's second release, the vampire novel Salem's Lot, typecast him in the genre of horror writing. Subsequent books like The Stand and The Shining underscored King's abilities to add a kernel of the supernatural into real life to create convincing, genuinely terrifying horror books. King specialized in horror, but he was also skilled in the fantasy genre. The first book of King's The Dark Tower series was published in 1982, and six more books have been released over the course of two decades. The seventh installment, called The Dark Tower, won the 2005 British Fantasy Award. An eighth The Dark Tower book is expected to be released in 2012. King also published several books including Rage, The Long Walk, The Running Man, Blaze, and Thinner, in the 1970s and 1980s under the pen name Richard Bachman. When asked why he published novels under a pseudonym, King replied, "I did that because back in the early days of my career there was a feeling in the publishing business that one book a year was all the public would accept, but I think that a number of writers have disproved that by now."...
