A one-off, special edition short story for the Whitney Museum of American Art’s writer and artist series, illustrated by pop artist Barbara Kruger.
My Pretty Pony
The novel's maniacal antagonist, a superfan who holds her favorite author hostage until he finishes a novel, is described by King as an allegory for cocaine. “She was my number one fan.”
Misery
Originally titled The Napkins, King claims that this is one of the only books of his that his daughter likes. “She has very little interest in my vampires, ghoulies, and slushy crawling things.”
The Eyes of the Dragon
The first novel in King’s eight-novel magnum opus was illustrated by Michael Whelan,
the first living person to be inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2009.
The Dark Tower I:
The Gunslinger
King admits to writing Cujo while on a cocaine binge in his 1999 non-fiction book On Writing, saying that he “barely remembers writing at all.”
Cujo
King’s sole directorial effort was nominated for two Golden Raspberry Awards: Worst Director and Worst Actor (Emilio Estevez).
Maximum Overdrive
Despite the film’s success and legacy, King has called it “cold” and a poor portrayal of women. “Shelley Duvall as Wendy is really one of the most misogynistic characters ever put on film, she's basically just there to scream and be stupid and that's not the woman that I wrote about.”
