This coming September, the acclaimed novelist Stephen King is set to release his latest novel, Fairy Tale, about a boy, his dog, and a portal to another world. The highly prolific author is responsible for some of the most beloved (and chilling) horror novels of all time, many of which have subsequently been adapted into hit films, such as The Shining, IT, and Misery – to name just a few. His work has received numerous awards throughout his nearly 50-year career, leaving little doubt that King is one of the greatest American novelists of all time.
Despite waning eyesight, at 74, King shows no signs of slowing down, and throughout much of his extensive career, he's produced a book per year. At times, King has even released more than one novel per year and taken part in collaborations (such as his recent work with Richard Chizmar.) Beyond his publications, there's also his film and television contributions and even the odd cameo in some of these productions. Loyal King fans have counted on the author to produce highly imaginative and consistent work for decades. Although the film adaptations of his work often haven't met consistent critical acclaim, they've always been enough to enthrall his core group of die-hard fans. With the new year now almost a month old, King fans will be thrilled to know that a new novel is on the way.
