Stephen King
We celebrate the author known to many as the father of modern horror. For a generation of readers,Stephen King is the voice of the underbelly of small-town America,having made his name as the author of cult classics (with an equally strong legacy of film adaptations) including Carrie,The Shining,The Green Mile,The Stand,Pet Sematary,IT,Under the DomeandThe Tommyknockers. If there's an author who knows how to mine the dark recesses of the human imagination,it's King.
