Stephen Edwin King (born September 21, 1947) is an American author of horror, supernatural fiction, suspense, and fantasy novels. King has published 61 novels (including seven under the pen name Richard Bachman) and six non-fiction books.

He has also been one of my favorite authors since I was 12 years old and read Christine on a trip West with my uncle Ken and aunt Jeanne and cousin Jasmine. I can’t recall who’s copy it was but it started me on my journey with King.

I’ve always loved this quote from him and believe it is true of everyone. We are all monsters and have ghosts inside us. Maybe they’re not all scary and maybe they are. We have many layers that make us who we are.
