The King of Horror, one of the best selling and most adapted authors of all time, Stephen King is also a firm favourite in this book-loving corner of radio. Yet despite all this, he's always been something of an outlier in the literary world, with many critics not crediting his writing and influence. In this episode, we talk about why that is, along with the life and times of Stephen King, and the books we recommend. As always, in Footnotes, we pivot to discussing on-screen adaptations.
