Fact #1. There are several reasons why Stephen King is one of the best-selling authors of all-time. Not the least of which is that he's a highly-structured technician. King plays to our fears, whether they're represented via the apocalypse, unrighteous confinement, isolation, or teenage angst.
Fact #2. The prose in a Stephen King book is well-written without feeling too dense or pretentiously wise. King's focus is on engaging the reader and drawing them in. He prioritizes page-turning over reading passages twice. Cynics might contend that his work is entertaining without being refined. Yet, it stands to reason that he also authored On Writing, a critically-acclaimed book about literary craft and development of style.
Fact #3. Stephen King's work subverts motifs. King presents readers with a homicidal clown, for example, or a woman who has kidnapped a man. He presents us with a death-row messiah. He intrigues readers by presenting them a new way of thinking about a well-trodden path.
Fact #4. On top of everything else, the man is prolific. He has written 56 novels, 11 short-story collections, and five nonfiction books as of 2017. He was so prolific during the 1980s that he actually began publishing under a pseudonym to provide himself more freedom and to avoid any risk of overexposure.
Fact #5. Two of King's strongest novels, Carrie and The Shining, have been adapted into classic movies by auteur directors Brian De Palma and Stanley Kubrick, respectively. In fact, nearly 60 of his novels or short stories have been adapted for film or television. Some of the more notable examples include The Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me, The Green Mile, Misery, and It. King has made cameo appearances in a lot of the movies that have been adapted from his novels.
