About this product
Product Information
The Stephen King Companion is an authoritative look at King's personal life and professional career, from Carrie to The Bazaar of Bad Dreams . King expert George Beahm, who has published extensively about Maine's main writer, is your seasoned guide to the imaginative world of Stephen King, covering his varied and prodigious output: juvenalia, short fiction, limited edition books, bestselling novels, and film adaptations. The book is also profusely illustrated with nearly 200 photos, color illustrations by celebrated "Dark Tower" artist Michael Whelan, and black-and-white drawings by Maine artist Glenn Chadbourne. Supplemented with interviews with friends, colleagues, and mentors who knew King well, this book looks at his formative years in Durham, where he began writing fiction as a young teen, his college years in the turbulent sixties, his struggles with early poverty, working full-time as an English teacher while writing part-time, the long road to the publication of his first novel, Carrie , and the dozens of bestselling books and major screen adaptations that followed. For fans old and new, The Stephen King Companion is a comprehensive look at America's best-loved bogeyman.

Reviews
"An undeniable tribute to the bestselling horror writer." - Publishers Weekly on Stephen King: America's Best-Loved Boogeyman "A sure winner with King fans or those curious about the man behind the legend." - School Library Journal on The Stephen King Companion "There are questions in this book about my movies even I couldn't answer! A nice, well-researched quiz book written with obvious affection for its subject." -Mick Garris, director, The Stand , on The Stephen King Movie Quiz Book, "This is for the Cujo-level rabid fan." -- Booklist "[Beahm] has done a wonderful job with the book, its text, its illustrations, its photos...well, all of the books contents are well worth reading. This is a book every King fan will want to read no matter if you are like me and need to know everything there is about him or if you just read his books and don't care about much more. You will still enjoy this book and it will give you a better insight into King and his writing." -- Lilja's Library on The Stephen King Companion "There's so much to this sumptuous new book on King, and though it's over double the size of the previous Stephen King Companion , it's just as fun to read.

This gives the whole effort credibility, which books of this type often don't have."-- The Washington Post " The Stephen King Companion is the best guide to the entire trajectory of King's work . . . All in all, this is a treasure chest of information, plus photographs."-- Sunday Record (Middletown, N.Y.), [Beahm] has done a wonderful job with the book, its text, its illustrations, its photos...well, all of the books contents are well worth reading.
