Stephen King on his writing process (Uploaded to YouTube by Bangor Daily News) These were Stephen King’s Different Seasons. The collection produced a popular coming-of-age tale, a dark prediction of sinister indoctrination, a story most considered unfilmable, and, quite unexpectedly, the basis for one of the most beloved films ever made. But what happens when you dominate one genre, but still have other kinds stories to tell? For King, the answer was two-fold on one hand, he released some books under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman, and the on other hand, he gathered four novellas into one volume that were (mostly) departures from his famous horror fiction. In short order, novels like ’ Salem’s Lot, The Shining, and The Stand followed, cementing him as a modern master of horror. After years of slugging it out in short stories, Stephen King rose to prominence with his 1974 bestseller, Carrie.
