Stephen King shares his life with his wife, fellow novelist Tabitha King, and their son, Joe Hill, who's built his own successful writing career. Beyond his enormous catalog of standalone horror and suspense, King's The Dark Tower stands as his most significant series, alongside a substantial body of short stories and screenplays.

His debut novel, Carrie, arrived in 1974. This guide runs all eighty-eight of his books, from that debut through 2024's You Like It Darker — fifty years of continuous output from one of the genre's defining names.
