Did you know that Stephen King is way more than a famous scary story writer? Stephen King is a famous author, and has a wife and 3 children. Having sold 350 million copies of stories, he is a multi-millionaire. Even though S.K. seems similar to other writers, he isn’t at all. He took drugs, was hit by a van, and came home in shock after his friend was ran over by a train. Firstly, Stephen King took around 5 narcotics. Not one or two, not three or four. One night, while he was writing, his family was tired of his habits and confronted them about the drugs. They basically told him “Stop misusing, or we’re leaving”. Although he eventually became sober, his habits still haunt him to this day. He can’t even recall writing some of his stories.
