He is best known for horror novels like "Carrie, Cujo, The Shining, The Stand" and dozens of others. My personal favorites are somewhat lighter in tone like "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile."
During the summer of 1999, King was walking down a rural road near his home in Maine when he was hit by a reckless driver and severely injured. His book, "On Writing," was written as he recovered from what was a near death experience. It is surprising insightful and useful to writers of all stripes.
I will share many of the points King makes that I have found most helpful during the next few blog entries. One you get past all the horror genre stuff and his autobiographical musings, the guy really knows his stuff.
