== Kehidupan awal ==

Stephen Edwin King lahir pada tanggal 21 September 1947 di [[Portland, Maine]], putra dari seorang pelaut bernama Donald Edwin King dan istrinya, Nellie Ruth (née Pillsbury. Saat King berusia dua tahun, ayahnya meninggalkan dirinya dan keluarganya. Ibunya kemudian membesarkan King dan kakak angkatnya, David, seorang diri, terkadang menghadapi masalah keuangan. King dan keluarganya pindah ke [[De Pere, Wisconsin]], [[Fort Wayne, Indiana]], dan [[Stratford, Connecticut]]. Saat King berusia sebelas tahun, keluarganya kembali ke [[Durham, Maine]]. Di sana, Ruth bekerja sebagai pengasuh di kompleks perumahan setempat untuk menafkahi keluarga.<ref name=OfficialBio/> King dibesarkan sebagai seorang [[Metodis]].<ref name=OfficialFAQ>[http://www.stephenking.com/faq.html#0.5 "Frequently Asked Questions"]. StephenKing.com. Retrieved October 21, 2010.</ref>

Saat masih anak-anak, King menyaksikan salah seorang temannya tewas ditabrak kereta api. Setelah itu, King berubah menjadi seorang anak pendiam. Beberapa pendapat menyatakan bahwa peristiwa ini secara psikologis mungkin telah mengilhami beberapa karya King,<ref>Beahm, George ''The Stephen King Story: A Literary Profile'' Andrews and McMeel. 1991. ISBN 0-8362-7989-1: pp.101</ref> meskipun King tidak menyebut mengenai hal ini dalam memoarnya berjudul ''[[On Writing]]'' (2000).<ref name=KingOnWriting>{{Cite book|last =King|first =Stephen|title =On Writing|publisher=Scribner|year =2000|isbn = 0-684-85352-3}}</ref>

King menempuh pendidikan dasar di Durham Elementary School dan lulus dari [[Lisbon Falls High School]] di [[Lisbon Falls, Maine]]. Sejak bersekolah, ia telah menunjukkan ketertarikan pada cerita horor dan merupakan seorang pembaca setia [[EC Comics|komik horor EC]], termasuk ''[[Tales from the Crypt (komik)|Tales from the Crypt]]''.

== Karier ==
King mulai iseng menulis saat masih bersekolah dengan menulis artikel untuk surat kabar ''Dave's Rag'', dan kemudian mulai menjual cerita karangannya kepada teman-temannya. Cerita karangannya yang pertama kali diterbitkan secara independen adalah "I Was a Teenage Grave Robber", serial yang diterbitkan dalam empat cerita bersambung di ''Comics Review'' pada tahun 1965.<ref>Wood, Rocky et al. ''Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished''. Abingdon, Maryland 2006 ISBN 1-58767-130-1</ref>

Setelah lulus dari universitas, King tidak kunjung mendapat pekerjaan. Ia kemudian mulai menjual cerpen karangannya ke majalah-majalah seperti ''[[Cavalier (majalah)|Cavalier]]''.<ref name=leafe20090512>{{cite news|last=David|first=Leafe|title=Stephen King's Real Horror Story: How the novelist's addiction to drink and drugs nearly killed him|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1178151/Stephen-Kings-Real-Horror-Story-How-novelists-addiction-drink-drugs-nearly-killed-him.html|accessdate=September 17, 2012|newspaper=Daily Mail|date=May 12, 2009}}</ref> Pada tahun 1973, novel pertama King, ''[[Carrie (novel)|Carrie]]'', diterima oleh penerbit [[Doubleday (penerbit)|Doubleday]]. Uang muka yang diterimanya untuk penerbitan novel ini adalah sebesar $2,500.<ref>{{cite news|first=Marie-louise|last=Olson|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2468493/How-master-horror-Stephen-Kings-wife-inspired-writing-saving-pages-Carrie-dustbin.html|title=How master of horror Stephen King's wife inspired him to keep writing after saving the first three pages of Carrie from the dustbin|work=Daily Mail|date=October 20, 2013|accessdate=December 7, 2013}}</ref> Setelah penerbitan ''Carrie'', King mulai menulis ''Second Coming'', yang kemudian diterbitkan dengan judul ''[[Salem's Lot]]'' pada tahun 1975.<ref>Konstantin, Phil. [http://americanindian.net/stephenking.html "An Interview with Stephen King"], americanindian.net. Retrieved January 19, 2011.</ref> Setelah kematian ibunya pada 1974, King dan keluarganya pindah ke [[Boulder, Colorado]], dan di sana ia mulai menulis ''[[The Shining (novel)|The Shining]]'' (diterbitkan tahun 1977). Ia kembali ke Maine pada 1975 dan menyelesaikan novel keempatnya, ''[[The Stand]]'' (diterbitkan tahun 1978).<ref>{{cite web|title=The Author|url=http://www.stephenking.com/the_author.html|publisher=stephenking.com|accessdate=September 17, 2012}}</ref>

Pada akhir 1970-an, King menerbitkan sejumlah novel pendek berjudul ''[[Rage (novel Stephen King)|Rage]]'' (1977), ''[[The Long Walk]]'' (1979), ''[[Roadwork]]'' (1981) ''[[The Running Man (novel)|The Running Man]]'' (1982), dan ''[[Thinner (novel)|Thinner]]'' (1984) dengan nama pena [[Richard Bachman]]. Penggunaan [[nama pena]] ini dilakukannya untuk menguji apakah ia bisa meniru kesuksesannya dibalik nama orang lain dan untuk menghilangkan anggapan bahwa popularitasnya hanyalah sebuah kecelakaan.<ref name=kingbachman>{{cite web|url=http://www.stephenking.com/pages/FAQ/Stephen_King/whybachman.php|title=Stephen King FAQ: "Why did you write books as Richard Bachman?"|author=King, Stephen|accessdate=December 13, 2006|publisher=StephenKing.com|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061115014750/http://www.stephenking.com/pages/FAQ/Stephen_King/whybachman.php|archivedate=2006-11-15|dead-url=yes}}</ref>
