Fifty years ago, a 26-year-old rural Maine schoolteacher wrote a horror novel titled “Carrie.”
That man, Stephen King, has gone on to write more than 60 books since. They have sold between 400 million to 500 million copies worldwide and have been turned into films like “The Shining,” “Shawshank Redemption,” “Stand By Me,” and many more.
King invited our senior arts correspondent, Jeffrey Brown, to his main home to talk about his latest book of short stories called “You Like It Darker” and the long arc of his career. It’s part of our arts and culture series, Canvas.
