As a child, King apparently witnessed one of his friends being struck and killed by a train, though he has no memory of the event. His family told him that after leaving home to play with the boy, King returned, speechless and seemingly in shock. Only later did the family learn of the friend's death. Some commentators have suggested that this event may have psychologically inspired some of King's darker works.

Today I will evaluate his life,books and style.Firstly,as a member of the jury,I want to claim that Stephen King is such a prolific writer that he writes and publishes constantly.While I still haven't read 'Doctor Sleep' that has been printing for nearly 1.5 months,he introduce a new novels named 'Mr.Mercedes' and 'Turn Down The Lights'.Considering this aspect of his success he deserves 10 points out of 10.You can see the books I mentioned with clicking the link below :

Secondly,his style reflects perfect imagination while it is capturing the reality at the same time.For this reason many of his books have been adapted into films.Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption is the most famous ones.When it comes to his writing style we can see his quotation :
"Read and write four to six hours a day. If you cannot find the time for that, you can't expect to become a good writer." It is his formula or way of inspiring himself.I find his films so attractive like his books.He is really genius.

I watched his 8 films and the most importanat things you can not predict the end unlike you do when wathching other horror films.It is not cliche and that makes Stephen King original.Thanks for reading.For more info : http://www.stephenking.com/library/written.html. :)
