THE BODY by Stephen King

Stephen King was born in 1947 in Portland, Maine, the American  state where The Body is set. His father, a merchant seaman, deserted the family in 1950, and Stephen and his brother David were raised alone by their mother. Early on in life, King became addicted to radio horror tales and science fiction films. According to one report, he was ‘oversized and ungainly’ as a boy and ‘predictably chosen last’ in team games. At high school, he began to write stories, and 
at the University of Maine took creative writing courses.
