Beschreibung
Swedish publicist Hans-Ake Lilja, who is behind the largest and most-read fan site informing about the life and work of Stephen King, brings another dose of cinematic insights, behind-the-scenes information, gems, comments, analyses, and personal reflections.
What was the story behind the pseudonyms Richard Bachman or John Swithen? What difficulties accompanied the filming of the movie The Apt Pupil? What were the circumstances of the accident in which King nearly lost his life? Did he write something that he failed to publish or something he gave up on? What about Holly, the heroine of several works from his fifth creative decade?
In the book, whose structure consists of chapters mapping five decades of King's literary work, you will also find interviews with authors who collaborated with him at various stages of his career (Owen King, Stewart O'Nan, Peter Straub), and photographically documented experiences from trips where Lilja traveled to London, New York, and Bangor to meet his idol.
