Many of his novels and short stories have been turned into celebrated films, TV series and streamed events including Misery, The Outsider and The Shawshank Redemption. King was the recipient of America's prestigious 2014 National Medal of Arts and the 2003 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. He lives with his wife Tabitha King in Maine.
