		Derry, Maine is part of Stephen King's fictional Maine topography, and, like Castle Rock, it has served as the setting for a number of his novels, novellas, and short stories.
		Derry is said to be near Bangor, Maine, but King has acknowledged that Derry is actually his portrayal of Bangor.
		In It, the first (and defining) Derry novel, the town is portrayed as haunted by a monster that changes shape to match the fears of its victim.

		Stephen King was born in Portland, Maine to Donald and Ruth Pillsbury King.
		King was released from the hospital after three weeks, then went through half a dozen surgeries on his leg and the accompanying physical therapy.
		King staged a mock funeral for Bachman after the pseudonym was made public, which in turn inspired the book The Dark Half, in which a novelist stages the burial of his horror author pseudonym after having a "serious" novel published, only to find that his alter ego does not want to leave quite so easily.

	Stephen King
		Stephen King was born in Portland, Maine to Donald Edwin King and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury.
		King barely missed the driver's side support post in the van and a spread of rocks on the ground near where he landed; either of which would likely have killed him or put him in a permanent coma.
		King was released from the hospital after three weeks and went through half a dozen surgeries on his leg and the accompanying physical therapy.

	Stephen King
		Stephen King is far from the only author interested in looking at the experiences that draw and keep a group together.
		The point is that most of Derry’s residents, especially the adults, tend to ignore this strange and disturbing aspect of their community.
		It, like so many of Stephen King’s novels, is really a novel of faith, an unshakeable confidence built not upon the empirical — for certainly the evidence indicates that seven little punks have nothin’ on a creature/being/entity of such awesome power as It — but rather upon the emotional and spiritual.

	Stephen King Insomnia
		King remains popular fiction's most reliable mirror of cultural trends, in particular our continuing love affair with horror (Barker and Koontz are palpable influences here).
		King's forte, however, is characterization, and there is no shortage of it here.
		Sadly, what might have been a diamond of a novel is instead a Stephen King bauble: at moments frightening, at moments funny, but in the end undermined by the same feasts of gore that have become the Maine writer's trademark.

	Stephen King Bag of Bones
		Stephen King's most gripping and unforgettable novel, Bag of Bones, is a story of grief and a lost love's enduring bonds, of a new love haunted by the secrets of the past, of an innocent child caught in a terrible crossfire.
		Set in the Maine territory King has made mythic, Bag of Bones recounts the plight of forty-year-old bestselling novelist Mike Noonan, who is unable to stop grieving even four years after the sudden death of his wife, Jo, and who can no longer bear to face the blank screen of his word processor.
		It's Stephen King for the new millennium, with all the heart and wit showing through the suspense.

	Stephen King's It (review)
		Stephen King's It tells the story of seven childhood friends (Jonathan Brandis, Brandon Crane, Adam Faraizi, Seth Green, Ben Heller, Emily Perkins, Marlon Taylor) who confronted a malevolent child-killing presence.
		Stephen King's It As is should, the disc transfer looks much better than what was originally broadcast on TV - the picture is sharp and clear, and the colors bright and accurate.
		Stephen King's It was pressed at Pioneer (Japan), is Table of Contents encoded, and contains four chapter markers (one for the beginning of each disc side).

	Stephen King-Mile
		Besides, the main place, Derry, is a perfect city for the story itself: it's quite calm, quiet and peaceful.
		With Henry Bowers, I think King has created one of his best bad-guys, and the most terrifying about him is that Henry is a kid, a teenager, like the other seven.
		And how King plays with the reader in the finale, "jumping" quickly between the two time-levels, well, that is absolutely amazing, I think.

	Stephen King - "Dreamcatcher"
		Stephen King has often said that he writes 10 pages a day (forcing himself to write even when he doesn't want to) and it shows.
		Half the book is an accumulation of those lousy 10 pages a day when he should have gone to the local pub, had a beer and recharged his literary batteries.
		King likes to keep his main characters kids, as he then can have them say juvenile words, i.e., he (King) doesn't have to worry about writing grown-up halfway intelligent dialogue.

	Dreamcatcher by Stephen King
		Four boyhood pals in Derry, Maine, get together for a pilgrimage to their favorite deep-woods cabin, Hole in the Wall.
		King renders the mental fight marvelously, and telepathy is a handy way to make cutting back and forth between the campers' various alien battlefronts crisp and cinematic.
		Deftly, King incorporates the real-life mental horrors of his own near-fatal accident and dramatizes the way drugs tug at your consciousness.

		The made for television production of Stephen King’s "It" is a near perfect example of novel-to-film translation that actually works.
		Though a combination of years and the after effects of their special bond has diminished the memories of their 1958 summer from all but one of the now-adult friends, they are all too soon given a shocking reminder.
		Each is confronted with his or her own hidden memories as they return, or, in some cases, fail to do so.

	Insomnia by Stephen King
		Taking place in Derry, Maine – the location of King’s previous novel, It – we find that the concept of Stephen King’s Insomnia is somewhat the same.
		It’s within the task that we discover that Insomnia, like so many of King’s other novels, directly connects to the Dark Tower itself as The Crimson King, who later makes an appearance in both Black House (which is also connected to the series) and the Dark Tower novels themselves.
		While Insomnia is a great volume within the Stephen King bibliography, it tends to be a bit long and, at first, seems a bit difficult to dive into.

		I'm a big fan of Stephens King and I love the majority of the books that he writes but It is the best story that he wrote in my opinion.
		Weirdly enough though, I love the book today at 24 for the same reasons I loved it at 11: IT is a fantastic and intricately layered story with characters that you miss when the book is over, because you've been with them through their whole story as children and adults, best friends.
		King realisticly describes the Clown and all of the shapes it takes, and all of the gory graphic details are great!
