Também conhecido como: Stephen Edwin King
Stephen Edwin King nasceu em Portland, Maine, no ano de 1947. Foi o segundo filho de Donald e Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. Após a separação de seus pais, Stephen e seu irmão, David, foram criados pela sua mãe. Stephen passou a infância em Fort Wayne, Indiana, onde moravam parentes de seu pai, e também em Stratford, Connecticut. Quando Stephen completou 11 anos, sua mãe voltou com ele e o irmão para Durham, no Maine, pois avôs viviam lá e precisavam da ajuda de sua mãe.
Stephen frequentou aulas em Durham e na Lisbon Falls High School, onde se graduou no ano de 1966. Então foi para Universidade de Maine, onde mantinha uma coluna semanal para o jornal escolar que tinha o nome de The Maine Campus. Stephen foi um estudante ativo, colaborando em questões políticas e servindo como membro do Student Senate. Ele se graduou em 1970 e obteve qualificação para lecionar.
O escritor casou-se com Tabitha Spruce no ano de 1971. Eles se conheceram na biblioteca da universidade quando ainda eram estudantes. Enquanto vendia pequenas histórias para algumas revistas, Stephen escreveu seu primeiro conto profissional “The Glass Floor” para a Startling Mystery Stories em 1967. Muitos destes contos foram compilados posteriormente na coletânea Night Shift (Sombras da Noite) ou apareceram em outras antologias.
No ano de 1973, a editora Doubleday & Co. aceitou a novela Carrie. A partir daí, Stephen consegue subsídio para deixar de lecionar e dedica-se à escrita em tempo integral. Neste mesmo ano, o escritor consegue sua segunda aceitação com a novela Salem’s Lot (A Hora do Vampiro). Neste período, a mãe do escritor morre de câncer aos 59 anos.
Um ano após a aceitação da editora, a novela Carrie é publicada, ao mesmo tempo em que Stephen se muda com a família para o Colorado. Viveram lá aproximadamente um ano, e nesse tempo Stephen escreve The Shining (O Iluminado), que foi levado aos cinemas pelo diretor Stanley Kubrick no ano de 1980. Retornam para Maine em 1975, onde o escritor finaliza The Stand (A Dança da Morte).
O escritor tem três filhos com sua esposa: Naomi Rachel, Joe Hill e Owen Phillip.
Em 2003, Stephen recebeu um título distinto da The National Book Foundation por contribuir com a literatura americana.
Filhos: Joe Hill, Naomi King, Owen King
Cônjuge: Tabitha King (desde 1971)
