Tarker's Mills, une paisible bourgade du Maine... jusqu'à ce matin de janvier où le cadavre d'un cheminot est découvert, sauvagement lacéré; jusqu'à cette nuit de février où Stella Randolph croit accueillir l'homme de ses rêves : il ne restera d'elle qu'un corps à demi dévoré... Et chaque fois brillait la pleine lune. A Tarker's Mills, certains murmurent ' loup garou '. D'autres ne veulent croire qu'à un loup affamé en ce terrible hiver. Quelqu'un évoque le Dr Jekyll et Mr Hyde. La peur règne et à chaque pleine lune un crime est commis. Le suspense durera douze longs mois... Outre ce roman, Stephen King nous livre ici le récit de son insolite genèse et le scénario qu'il en a tiré. Un autre passionnant suspense : show more celui de la création... show less

Stephen King was born in Portland, Maine, on September 21, 1947. After graduating with a Bachelor's degree in English from the University of Maine at Orono in 1970, he became a teacher. His spare time was spent writing short stories and novels. King's first novel would never have been published if not for his wife. She removed the first few show more chapters from the garbage after King had thrown them away in frustration. Three months later, he received a $2,500 advance from Doubleday Publishing for the book that went on to sell a modest 13,000 hardcover copies. That book, Carrie, was about a girl with telekinetic powers who is tormented by bullies at school. She uses her power, in turn, to torment and eventually destroy her mean-spirited classmates. When United Artists released the film version in 1976, it was a critical and commercial success. The paperback version of the book, released after the movie, went on to sell more than two-and-a-half million copies. Many of King's other horror novels have been adapted into movies, including The Shining, Firestarter, Pet Semetary, Cujo, Misery, The Stand, and The Tommyknockers. Under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, King has written the books The Running Man, The Regulators, Thinner, The Long Walk, Roadwork, Rage, and It. He is number 2 on the Hollywood Reporter's '25 Most Powerful Authors' 2016 list. King is one of the world's most successful writers, with more than 100 million copies of his works in print. Many of his books have been translated into foreign languages, and he writes new books at a rate of about one per year. In 2003, he received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. In 2012 his title, The Wind Through the Keyhole made The New York Times Best Seller List. King's title's Mr. Mercedes and Revival made The New York Times Best Seller List in 2014. He won the Edgar Allan Poe Award in 2015 for Best Novel with Mr. Mercedes.
