I wouldn’t go so far as to call Stephen King’s life “Tragic”. He, IS still alive, and rich, and doing what he loves. I say there have been some tragic events in his life. But, those events only served to strengthen & color his life.
I was working as a desk clerk in the 80s and he checked out of his room in Colorado Springs, Co. At the time, the Shining was being filmed. This was before his picture appeared on the back of his books, so I didn't realize who he was at the time. He was very nice, down to earth and very tall. He's always been one of my favorite authors
You can clearly see the influence of Kings personal life on his works ( the frequent appearance of neglectful fathers and dysfunctional families).its evident that his childhood left a mark on him.
Or, possibly, he writes about neglectful fathers and dysfunctional families because they're more interesting. Try holding someone's attention if the family is like the Brady Bunch.
@@guesswhat-chickenbutt ‘was’ is correct since ‘all along’ follows after it. If the sentence stopped after the word ‘alive’ then ‘is’ would be correct.
I saw that house in Bangor, too, back in September 2017 when I went with my old man to go to Maine on vacation. Apparently he has one house for living (the one behind the iron bat 🦇 gates), and another one next by which is his library! He even has his own radio station - we listened to it while driving to his place! Crazy and brilliant!
Tragic life? Really? Dude is living the American Dream! He's a multimillionaire and his books are read all over the world. I wouldn't consider that tragic.
Tragic? Uh, no. He's heroically overcome some potentially tragic circumstances to emerge as a beloved artist. Get a new headline writer Grunge. I would have clicked on it because it's about Steven King. Get it? He's interesting all by himself.
I wouldn't say that it's a tragic life. it's one of survival so that makes it a triumphant life. I have been a constant reader since I read The Stand in the early 80's and I think SK has earned every cent he has made. Brilliant work.
Stephen king has had a lot of hurdles to cross,that's sad about his father going to the store and he never came back.That is terrible,I love his books and his movies his insight into emotions and horror are amazing,his imagination is wild I own most of his books and the movies ,Stephen king has been through a lot physically and mentally ,but he IS still a top notch Writer....
Recent interview says his mother did see the success of his first book and as a result, she had been able to leave the hospital and rest at home for the last of her years.
I love how, despite his money, he still lives in an old house only worth 800,000, and doesn't live in a massive mansion, like a lot of different celebrities with less money. Shows that he is still humble.
Best horror fiction writer that ever lived. Know the world over for his talent. He has a wonderful wife in Tabitha, if she had not fished the manuscript “Carrie” from the waste paper basket, he might not have made it AT THAT TIME. Someone later on would have recocgnized him.
Coke head writing devilish books because he had a traumatic childhood. Many people seek to become wiser, better people because of trauma. He's no one I look up to.
@@ninodeoliveira5854 Yes, they had some good things in them, but overall they are bad. IT is perverted, there is a gang-bang with eleven-year-old kids, it's a horrible book. Misery is okay but the ending is awful.
Stephen King has already lived to be 73 years old. Come next year he'll have been happily married to his wife for 50 years. They have three children and they divide their time between their three homes. Last, but certainly not least, King has an estimated net-worth of nearly half-a-billion dollars. If that is "tragic", then what on Earth is "triumphant"? Great video, unsubbed.
For the record, I always loved Maximum Overdrive...Stephen King's directional debut, even if he was coked out the entire time, I still thought it was great, and now a cult classic.
What brought me to your video was the title I thought the author had passed away. I have never read his books because I don't like horror books. But I love biographies. I would have opened the video anyways with just Stephen King's name. He is a wonderful human and has been tested by faith numerous times. I especially admired his mom and his wife. I wish years of happiness and good health to Mr. King because he deserves it. I am from his generation and I think he is great.
It didn't mention he developed a painkiller addiction after getting run down , he said in an interview he was so screwed up while writing dreamcatcher that he doesn't even remember writing most of it and what he does he thought at the time that he was writing one of his best stories. Kind of makes sense because I always felt that was one of his poorer works, and he agrees after reading it after sobering up
I noticed they missed that part which had a huge impact on his life. I myself had had a prior addiction too opiates, and when you get sober it changes your life. So that’s something that should have been covered, a major life changing part of any recovering addicts life
@@samswilly14 glad to hear your one of the ones to survive, I've lost a lot of people close to me over the past 20 years or so. I've been in treatment myself for almost 3 years now and things do change getting sober I agree completely
@@josephskiles good for you man, I’ve also lost a few friends myself too this. Luckily my time was before this whole fentanyl epidemic we’ve had going on, even though once or twice I’m pretty sure that’s what I had gotten, it was pretty damn rare back then. Now it’s just so scary for these people, in my opinion it’s a legit 50/50 chance you’re going too die every time you do that stuff. I just pray people can stay safe and survive long enough too get the help they need
@@samswilly14 thanks, life is definitely better for me . I just hope that a lot of people get scared away because like you said the stuff now is like putting a gun to your head, especially with no previous tolerance. I wish I could say this was all a shock to me but I told everyone that would listen years ago when the DEA started cracking down on doctors for over prescribing meds that heroin would come back in a huge huge way. I don't know what they expected would happen because people were not just going to stop taking stuff when big pharma hooked so many of us through deceptive practices and making huge profits for themselves and doctors.
@@josephskiles exactly, the days of being able too know what they’re getting every single time are over. I mean they make fentanyl pills now that supposedly look just like some of the old school over prescribed opiates many of us abused. That’s terrifying man if that’s true, maybe one of these days the war on drugs will end, because until then this type of shit is going too happen, it’s inevitable. I just really hope people can open their eyes and realize what they are doing, they should be testing what they get and just be safe out their, too many parents are burying their children, that’s not how life is supposed too work
@@randallmullins8961 Yes he wrote The Stand, but he also wrote Stand By Me. The film you see with River Phoenix and Corey Feldman as kids, that was from the mind of King.
I think he's such a talent, and such a good person. I was happy to see him still with his wife. Money and fame tear so many families apart. Bless them both.
SO tired of reading “the tragic life of” - life is full of ups and downs. I’m unsubscribing from Grunge, like there’s not enough sadness happening in the world today. Ciao Grunge!
Despite the deceptive title, this was not the worst video. I think Mr. King's best work was Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank redemption. Later shortened down of course for the movie. Great movie adaptation too, with great actors and acting. Wish he had done more inspirational works like this, but this was a gem. Thank you Stephen!
I doubt that Stephen considers his life tragic. He has a great family and is most likely the greatest american writer of our time and maybe of all time. Rich and happy. Doesn't sound tragic to me.
makes it sound like he has passed away! sad beginning of life and the car accident was quite scary but he's alive and writings are still selling quite well.
I adore his books and read as many as I could during my school days. Salems Lot was a particular night-time favourite to read in bed, though when I went to sleep I would always put the book cover-side down, just in case the monster on the front came to life and got me!
In my opinion Stephen King is the best writer. Maybe it seems really crazy but every tíme when i red his book i founded lot of answers and advices how to solve my problems which I had in my life. Crazy and unbelievable? Exactly! Like his stories. Thank you for you Stephen and thanks to my dad- he bought me Carrie and I knew that I will love this man👍
To me I see myself and Stephen King as relatable friends, we were born on the same day (September 21st), we like to read, come up with our own tales, and try to show very good humor. He’s much older than me, I know. He was born in 1947 and I was born in 2005, but my upbringing is kind of similar to his.
Come on Steven King we need some more scary movies something like the shinning related that was one of the scariest movies ever let's see another one you can do it love it. Take some from all & produce another.
Some of you are kinda critical in your views of this genious. My baby sister had 1st edition of all his books. She has a lot of money tied up in his books. We are not sorry about that. I had read one of his wife’s books. It was really cute.
Stephen King said, "The road to Hell is paved with adverbs." The book: 'English Grammar For Dummies,' teaches adverbs describe verbs using: How? When? Where? Why? Fiction readers want to be the detective. So, in a fictional story, who states the clues? It's got to be the characters, never the narrator. Is this what Stephen King meant? (UK)
Most of us would consider it lucky to have a life as tragic as world famous multi-Millionaire King. By the way everyone should read his Dark Tower novels. All seven of them are beyond brilliant. 😊
Come Jesus, Lion of Judah and take us home. May all the lost souls in this world come to salvation in Christ Jesus before it’s too late. Wake up people we are living in the end times prophecy!!!
I’m a huge fan of Stephen King and I really enjoyed watching Maximum Overdrive. It might have bombed at the box office, but I’m sure there’s a cult following that can’t get enough of watching this movie.
In my younger days i loved horror spooky kind of stuff, and murders , mysteries , but now today , reality set in about life after death, and eternal life . How much impact Stephan Kings books has on people's lives i don't know, i never ever read his books although i have seen in people's homes .
Lifelong Mainer here, every town you’ve mentioned correctly except for one that bugged me, and any other Mainer here will know what I’m talking about. Bangor, Maine. ( Bang-gor) is how you pronounce it. Great, short, and very informative video on Stephen King. Our state is extremely proud and appreciative of this great author, who has brought so much back to our state, and put our small unknown state on the map. And no, we’re not a part of Canada lol. We’re the furthest, northeastern, part of the United States that juts up into Canada lol
@@floogelhornzzz4770 So you think smart people who are not ignorant brainwashed morons are all "on drugs"? Nice way to be a Marxist, you idiot. Keep spewing left wing propaganda because the TV told you to always protect them.

He also sometimes appeared in his movies. Bag of Bones is a good read also
Totally agree. "Tragic" for most of us doesn't end up as rich and accomplished.
The only thing Tragic about Steven King's life is being run down by a Drunk Driver.

As is the case with us all, I wager...
no God
@ Hades yes. I wish more people could find a constructive outlet like he did instead of being a menace to society.

Oh man... In Stephen King's own words. "I grew up a normal life; a happy child." To say his name is TRAGIC is a massive overshot.
My favorite Stephen king adaptations:
1. Stand By Me
2. The Shawshank Redemption
3. IT 2017
4. Misery
5. Cujo

Carrie was the best..
Usually the first is always the best.
I loved "The Stand".
You are an achiever I have the most respect for you... You did say it right, he didn't take all of me... I love your movies.
He is and will be my favorite author forever
His non horror stories are great pieces of literature. Long live the king
He's a living legend ❤🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤
It's not "banger"!! it's "BANG-GORE" ironically enough
I tweeted to him that he was a handsome lizard. I had no idea he had health problems.
Love his books I think his books are better than some of his movies
One of my favorite horror writers!
Such an iconic face. Thoes teeth I always love seeing him in his movies. Probably my favorite is creepshow.
I’m waiting for the tragic part.
I adore Kings work. Not a fan of Bachman though. My fascination started with Night Shift, he is a master of the short story.
Not even Thinner?
I enjoyed maximum overdrive. While Stephen had some horrible luck it just made him appreciate the good things more. Your books are great. Stay well.
