À propos de cet audio
In the last few days Stephen King has once again managed to keep his name buzzing across news, business, and pop culture, proving why he remains one of the world’s most recognized writers at age 78. Just yesterday he made headlines with a very candid interview speaking to USA Today, where he revealed he is seriously considering slowing his prodigious writing pace. King joked, and I quote, that he’s “off the warranty,” and he’s now focusing on finishing the remaining projects he’s committed to, notably including a final novel in his popular Holly Gibney series, a character beloved by both longtime fans and new readers. After decades of relentless storytelling, King admits he feels the weight of age, saying he is “trying to clear [his] desk as much as [he] can,” but left open a window that if inspiration strikes, he might pen something new. His remarks immediately sparked speculation among fans online about whether this signals the final stretch of King’s monumental literary career according to Comic Basics and USA Today.
On the creative front, there's excitement building for the latest stage adaptation of his work — Misery opens at The Public Theatre on October 24 and runs through November 9. Adapted by William Goldman, the play taps into the very roots of King’s brand of disturbing yet magnetic drama, and its staging in King’s old Maine stomping grounds is generating strong buzz. Early ticket sales indicate sellouts are likely, a testament both to the enduring pull of his stories and to a devoted fanbase, as reported by Broadway World.
True to his role as genre tastemaker, King made a splash on social media just yesterday by raving about a new horror novel, calling it “mind-blowingly good.” While he didn’t specify the title in his initial post, Parade picked up the tip and fans on X, formerly Twitter, quickly began guessing which author had just received the King stamp of approval. The tweet sent #StephenKing trending again, with thousands of retweets and replies. This isn’t the first time the horror master’s online endorsements have vaulted lesser-known titles to bestseller status; he continues to wield outsize influence over what horror fans read next.
Tie it all together with this: in the cultural conversation, King’s work is everywhere this spooky season, from library displays spotlighting classics like Carrie and The Shining to Halloween reading guides in local papers and podcasts, where King is cited as the master craftsman of fear. Even as rumors swirl about the winding down of his bibliography, his influence shows no sign of fading.
