King is probably most famous for writing epic doorstopper novels like The Stand at 1,152 pages or It at 1,138 pages, not to mention the Dark Tower series which.

He's written horror stories that have become embedded in the popular consciousness but he's also written non-horror stories that surprise people to find out he was behind them. As an experiment, wondering if his success was all due to luck, he published a series of novels under a pen name and those became success stories as well. There are few awards for writing horror that he has not won, and few accolades he has not received.
